Hi All

Im new to VSL, new to Synchron, new to all of this. Im a longtime kontakt user so still looking at things thru that lense. I currently own the synchron woodwinds and harp but Im finding the load times to be much longer than Im used to with other libraries. Harp seems to load the entire library no matter which articulation Im using. Woodwinds seem to load the entire articulations files, no matter which notes Im playing.

Im used to starting with a fully purged session and then only the samples that are needed for playback are loaded. Im wondering if my new-ish 64gb mac mini can even support a full orchestral template with brass and strings and perc with with the synchron player. 

Ive looked at what documentation and videos I could find but no one seems to address this. 

Thanks for any tips and tricks on the matter.

Hello,

I made a quick YouTube video that would be easier to explain.  I've shown all my settings in the video, both in the software, my DAC (Audient iD4), and other applications on Windows to compare the volume output to.  This is affecting all instruments in the Synchron player, both native and Synchron-ized libraries. 

It's about 2-3 minutes long.  I appreciate anyone with technical expertise to take a look at it.  I've done much troubleshooting for many hours.

If it's never gonna happen what recomendations are there for big choral librairies with a word builder Thanks for your time.

Same here VSL  does not work with logic 10.7.1 - Monterey 

Hi Gabriel, 

Not that I know. 
However, all Library Updates will be added to the newly packed iLok-protected sample content, and our advanced Download Manager will then keep track of all changes. That's the plan!

Best,

Hi everyone, 

I am currently learning how to use Synchron Strings Pro proficiently and I have noticed that Paul in his YouTube videos controls the Vel-XF (velocity cross-fade) with the Hornberg Midi breathe controller. 

I am just wondering, isn't it better to use an after-touch keyboard to control the Vel-XF? Honestly I have never used an one before but the concept seems right to me.

Seeing the videos convinced me that I must find a way to control the vel-XF, but if After-touch works, then, perhaps I could skip the step of buying an expensive Breath controller? What do you guys think?

I hope I am not resurrecting some fight provocative thread, I am just hoping to be educated.

Nobody wants to stick their neck out. That's ok. I have a design in mind.

This template design would have a maximum of 10 VEP instances; 2 big ones with 10 ports each, and 8 small ones with 4 ports each; providing a total of 832 instrument MIDI channels.

Syz Dimension Strings is probably the most complex and yet flexible strings library on the market, and so it also serves as perhaps the most demanding and exacting case study for template strings configurations.

One of the big instances can easily accommodate a very comprehensive set of Syz Dimension Strings, including a mirrored set for size-doubling using the transpose trick. A 16:16:12:12:8 configuration in this case could be as follows-

  •  Permanent places for each of 4 divisi part subsections in each string section (Contrabasses usually would not go further than 2-part divisi, so some empty spaces would be left in the CB port).

  •  Permanent places for regular, sordino, tasto and ponticello parts in every section.

  •  Thus for example, one 'half-size' (8 players) 1st Violins port in VEPro would have places for these Synchron Players as follows:-

   Ch1: Regular (Ai);   Ch2: Regular (Aii);   Ch3: Regular (Aiii);   Ch4: Regular (Aiv);

   Ch5: Sordino (Ai);   Ch6: Sordino (Aii);   Ch7: Sordino (Aiii);   Ch8: Sordino (Aiv);

   Ch9: Tasto (Ai):       Ch10: Tasto (Aii):     Ch11: Tasto (Aiii);     Ch12: Tasto (Aiv);

   Ch13: Ponti' (Ai);    Ch14: Ponti' (Aii);     Ch15: Ponti' (Aiii);    Ch16: Ponti' (Aiv),

   where (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are divisi-part subsections.

   There would be another port like this for the 1st Violins size-doubling section, having (Bi), (Bii), (Biii) and (Biv) for each main timbre as shown above.

Please keep in mind that this Situater template is aimed at composition, rather than production. As such, it has full access to Logic's new "Live Loops" creative facilities on every instrument channel, whilst still using Situater's orchestral intonation. Nevertheless the composer's version may also be used to produce highly presentable professional mockups, despite having far fewer instances and ports available for alternative libraries, compared to the production version.

I'm experimenting in blending VI (+MIR), Synchronized and Synchron instruments, and I'm admired at how VSL was able to make them coexist in the same space with no problem at all. You can hear where they are placed in the same room, even if they come from different series.

This is a real problem and you should address it.

Here it is in my words: when eLicenser is bugging out and not connecting (happens every once in a while) and I load a Logic X Project, all Synchron Instances are reset and need to be reloaded manually.

Bitte, bitte, das ist wichtig. Please do take care of this.

Thank you.

FYI, I'm fairly certain the short articulations of Synchron Strings I and Synchron Strings Pro are the same samples.  Don't take that as 100%, as I'm going off memory here, but I seem to recall Paul or someone else saying as much in one of the threads about it when it was released...?...

I haven't been on the Forum much but thought I might mention this page of my compositions which - oddly enough - are all VSL!  I have been putting music on other venues but only recently started with Bandcamp, so if anybody wants to hear some VI/MIR  things here are a few -

Hi Cyril,

The only explanation I can think of is that you have saved version 3 while the Presets were not loaded, for example because your USB-eLicenser was not properly recognized by the eLicenser Control Center at the time.

Best, Marnix

Side question - if I move to another drive do I just copy data from the old one then use Vienna DL manager or something to point VEP to the new location?
