Thanks, Paul.

In the VI libraries distinction was made between:

Viennese Horn and Triple Horn

C Trumpet and Bb Trumpet

So far as I understand it after consulting the VSL Academy these instruments are physically distinct. 

In the SY Brass library, there is no indication of which horns or which trumpets were used in the recording. Given the physical distinctions, which of these instruments were used? 

Thanks Paul.

So we can assume that predicting future world events is in the pipeline for a future upgrade? 

I'm curious, with SY player speed control switching, how does it interpret the speed of incoming notes?

I can see that it assigns parameter values to each note depending on length, but what criteria does it use to "decide" if a note is short or long?

I tested an "auto-speed" folder in SY Elite Strings 1st Violins, which contained "legato" and "legato agile" articulations switched by speed control. I entered a series of whole notes followed by some eighth notes, back to whole notes, then sixteenth notes. The speed control values correctly differed with regard to each category of note, but on what basis did it decide which note was which?

And all this brings up the question of how the tempo of a project change the interpretation of what ought to be considered long or short or shorter.

Thanks for the free expansion. 

Good news.

Just rounded out my SYzd Woodwinds with the ensemble instruments.

Ah, thanks for clarifying, Paul. I'm sure it's my being too ready to extrapolate from your comments.

Paul,

Does this explain the multiple preset types in recent libraries like SSP, SES and SY Brass? Types like VelXF, XF sus, Velocity, etc.? It seems like the labels are not consistent between libraries, and it seems like this has been a process developing over time as libraries continue to be released. Is Timbre Adjust is one more element in that process, one we might see commonly in future libraries?

For planning purposes going forward, your comment suggests that, while they will work with the appropriate preset, the straight XF presets may not be the best if VSL is now "avoiding" them. Is there a fuller explanation that might help customers like me be sure that their custom Synchron presets and DAW expression maps are based on the most enduring approach. A lot of work goes into these, and I'd hate to have to replace everything I've done because I'm used the Vel XF only. Nevertheless, if that's the direction, I'd rather make the changes now than face a larger project later.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

After downloading the latest SY Player version last week I had the exact same problem. Using SY Player instances in Cubase instrument tracks. I started a project creating user presets for all my instruments. Cubase crashed constantly. I submitted a ticket to Steinberg for starters, but I decided I'd set it all up inside VE Pro using rack instruments instead, and had no more problem with SY Player user presets.

Now that I've done this I'm not really interested in pursuing instrument tracks again.

Yeah, I'm already doing that. Just had an idea to see if I could save some time.

Now that I think about it, it makes sense for VSL to protect Factory Presets from corruption.

Thanks, Ben.

I'm wanting to copy the Factory Preset Files and paste them into "Factory" folders in my User Presets. That way they are quickly and easily at hand if I want to start from scratch and create a new User Preset. This will save me a bunch of time.

Where in Windows File Explorer can these Factory Presets be found?

Talk about re-SPONSE time!!

Thanks Paul and Team.

Thanks, Paul.

I like to create and organize Custom presets in both the Synchron and VI players. It would be helpful if there was a settings option for Factory presets to collapse by default when first opening an instance.

This is a Dorico question. You might get more response in the Notation Programs section of the VSL forums, or better yet, post this in the Dorico forum or on the Dorico Facebook page.

There are plenty of Dorico and VSL Synchron users there who will be happy to chime in and help.

Glad that helped.

In the Synchron Player click the cog-wheel symbol to enter Settings, then in the Interface tab change Middle C to conform to your Cubase assignment. I always use C3. Different platforms assign Middle C differently. Any platforms you are connecting have to match or there will be an octave difference. 

The answer is yes, you can, but I would post this question on the Dorico forum. The solution has nothing to do with VSL and everything to do with Dorico Playback Templates. No time to explain now, besides there are people on the Dorico forum much better than I to explain it.

This happens to me in the Standalone version.

Got it, thanks Paul.

I installed a SYzd Epic Orchestra 2.0 library update and I have a question about the installed volumes.

After installation should the volumes in the folder include both the original and the update, as shown in my attached screen shot? Or should the updated version replace the original?

I'm preparing to install multiple updates to other libraries, so I'd like to get an answer before proceeding.

Thanks for your help.

Here's the list of all the VSL plugin instruments that showed up after my folder additions.

Hi Cedric.

Recently made the same switch myself and had to find the correct folders to make Synchron Player and VI Pro show up. Here's a screen shot of what worked for me. Don't know if it will help you, but hope it does.

They had both shown up in Cubase automatically.

superflo,

As one who owns both products, Paul's words I quote here are worth noticing. The VI player is outstanding, but for me the inability of the matrices to display more than a few letters as a description of a cell's contents present a real difficulty. Synchron provides more length for each description, enough to adequately distinguish it's unique content without cryptic or inadequate shorthand codes.

Just thought I'd chime in. Hope you are happy with your choices. 

Any progress on an iPad remote app for the Synchron Player?
