Ok Thanks Andi,

I am having some problems getting the trumpets (4 or 6) to switch properly.

I have a solo trumpet on one staff (using Trumpet in C, with sound set VE SY winds > trumpet) this works fine.

I then have 6 trumpets on another staff (using Trumpets in C a6, with sound set VE SY winds > trumpet ensemble). I can't get this to work. I then tried trumpets in C a3, still no luck.

The only way after some experimenting was using Trumpet in Bb for the 6 trumpets to switch correctly.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Andi,

I am trying to switch between longs Regular and Con fortissimo with Sibelius. I have looked at the online manuals but cant find it. 

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Andi,

In Sibelius with the elite strings I am trying to get per.leg.agile>senza vibrato to trigger.

I use the text command "fast" followed by "senza vibrato" but I can't get it to work. If I remove senza vibrato from the score the agile>regular vibrato will trigger correctly. Any way I can get this to work?

Also I really like the 4 attacks in the longs. I can get the normal, soft and marcato to trigger but not the fast attack. Any way to get it to trigger?

Thanks,

Dave 

That worked, Thanks Andi

Dave

I have both the older VSL woodwinds library and the newer synchronized woodwinds. After some time experimenting with both I seem to prefer the older VSL wood winds. I am trying to determine why I like the older ones better by trying to match them as close as possible using Sibelius as the playback software. 

It seems I can't turn off velocity crossfades for the longs(it keeps coming back on even with the C28,0 command). A lot of times I prefer vlXF off for the longs. I can do this with the older libraries and Vienna Instruments Pro but not with the Synchrony Player.

Which presets to load with SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds

If the SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds Expansion is installed, there are three different preset types of every instrument available. Load the presets from the following folder: SYNCHRON-ized Collections/21 SYzd Woodwinds/Velocity
The sound set will automatically turn on Velocity XF for long note articulations and turn it off for short note articulations.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for sending me the beta. So far it has been working great in Cubase. I will test VEP 7 later. Thanks to you and your team for looking into this and finding a fix.

Dave

This was happening to me as well in Cubase 10.5. The only solution I had was to go back to Cubase 10.

Here is a link to the Cubase forums about the problems.

Ok Ben,

I sent you 2 mini dumps using we transfer. That was for the using Synchron VST3 plugins hosted in Cubase.

Today I also had drop outs (red hard drive flashing) using VST2 plugins hosted in Cubase. So I am sending you 2 more mini dumps called, Cubase10a_VST2.dmp and Cubase10b_VST2.dmp

Dave

Hi Ben,

I have 2 mini-dump files. They are about 175 MB. Too large for regular email. What is the best way to get them to you?

Send us the dump to
Hopefully this will help in the investigation.

Many Thanks!

Hi Ben,

Yes. NVMe SSD, read speed 625 MB/s. I set the preload to 8192.

Dave

Hi Christopher,

I was able to run a couple of Cubase projects for a few hours with no issues after changing the VST3 plugin for the VST2 plugin. Luckily the Synchron presets are compatible between VST2 and VST3 so it is not that big of a deal. interestingly enough both of these projects use the Synchron Piano player that only comes in VST2 and I have never had an issue with it. So It may be a VST3 issue with the Synchron player.

Dave

Unfortunately, after about 45 minutes into Cubase I started to get the dropouts and the red hard drive again(with and without MMCSS). I am using the VST3 version fo the Synchron player. I am going to try the VST2 version for the loaded intruments to see if that makes a difference. My processor is the intel 9900k I may try to disable hyperthreading to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks again,

Dave

Yes, I had multiple versions of the same driver. I had never seen this before. They were a different color and slightly greyed out. I could only uninstall the latest one. When I tried to uninstall the others (there were at least 5) windows would not let me do it so I had to use that free tool CCLEANER to get rid of the others. 

I will be testing cubase soon!

Dave

Hi cgernaey,

I tried Ben's suggestion about enabling MMCSS but still had the same problem. I almost gave up for the night but then decided to uninstall (control panel, uninstall a program ) the RME drivers and software. I rebooted then reinstalled the RME driver then rebooted again.

It seems to be working much better now. It is to early to tell if the issue is gone but I playback looped a large template in VEP 7 for an hour and a half and came back and there was no hard drive flashing symbol.

Would be interested to see if you tried the same thing if your problem would improve. Just make sure to sort the uninstall list by Publisher to get everything by RME.

I am going to try Cubase 10.5 tomorrow and will let you know the results. Still to early to tell but maybe windows update messed with the driver somehow.

Dave

Hi Ben,

I have attached a jpeg. Ram is 24 out of 32.

Dave

Hi cgernaey,

I updated and it did not fix the problem.

Dave

HI ben,

While working in VEP 7 today I also found another strange bug. If you have all of the violins

loaded for dimension violins 1 through 8 in synchron player, and then go to options>preferences>then close, in VEP 7 the first 2 violins in the synchron player get their solo buttons turned on in the mixer page.

This also happens for the second violins, violas, chelli and bases.

Dave

Hi Ben,

No, I never change the audio buffer size when the project is running. But I have tired to change it before opening a project to see if it (RME UFX, 512,1024,2048)would fix the dropouts but it does not help.

As for other software running. All of the instruments are running through MIR, in Cubase I use the VST plugin and in VEP 7 I use the VSL built in plugin. In the synchron player I bypass all of the impulse responses. I believe for the synchronized dimension strings I load the last preset (default) in the synchron player that has all of the impulse responses bypassed

I have also tried changing the buffer sizes in MIR all the way up to 8192 and still get dropouts.

Also the problem happens much more frequently in Cubase than VEP 7. 

Dave

Strange dropout behavior in Synchron player.

This happens in VEP pro7 or Cubase 10.5.

Everything will be working fine for a period of time (anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours) then I will start to get dropouts for seemingly no reason with the Synchron Player (does not happen with Dimension Strings in VIPro 2 with the same preload from the same M.2 SSD).

Even though the cpu meter for the Synchron Player is at about 2-4 % and the peak never goes over 20% I will start to get dropouts and the RED hard drive symbol will start flashing.

Normally to fix this I will restart Cubase or VEP pro 7 and the problem will be gone again for a while.

It happened again today so I started to play around with the streaming thread settings in the Synchron Player.

Just changing the setting, say from 6 to 10 or 16 to 12 fixes the problem the same way as restarting VEP pro 7 or Cubase 10 does.

It does not seem to matter what setting I change the thread too, just the act of changing it resets the player somehow and no dropouts for a while.

Again with the same preload setting  (same m.2 NVME SSD) 8192 for VI pro 2 dimension strings I never get dropouts.

I have the latest software. Win 10 64

Thanks,

Dave

Ok thank Andi,

The copy and paste works.

Dave

With Synchron Strings 1 and Sibilius I am having trouble getting this to work.

D-Legato > B-AutoSpeed > (normal,fast) > No Vibrato.

When ever I try to play back a number of legato-non vibrato notes back to back it always reverts to this

D-Legato > F#-Normal > no vibrato

If I play back the same notes above but with legato-regular vibrato it Works and I get this

D-Legato > B-AutoSpeed > (normal,fast) > Regular vib

I have the latest software and soundsets installed.

Thanks,

Dave

These sound great!!!

Are there going to be any Sibelius Sound set for them.

Dave

Ok thanks Andi,

I fugured it out. I just thought that SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings would behave more like SYNC strings and

SYNCHRON-ized Chamber Strings with sibilius.

For instance I can use one musical staff in Siblius to contoll both SYNC strings and SYNCHRON-ized Chamber Strings and then mix them to taste in VEP as all of there articulations seem to be in sync.

I realize that SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings are much more complex.

Dave 

Thanks Andi,

I am trying to use SYzd Dimention strings with SYzn strings at the same time with sibilius. Trying to play "mormal"

SYZn strings goes  full >  long > F # normal

SYZn dimension strings goes Regular > Long notes > F# Marcato (instead of sustain).

Is there a simply way to get these in sync.

Dave
