You can find a Dorico expression map for VSL Chamber Strings Synchron-ized on the Dorico forum.

Hello,

I would like to know if a Dorico expression map for Synchron Woodwinds is planned? Perhaps when all the instruments will be available in early 2022?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Gil.

Hello,

I don't know if it helps, but I've made a quick tutorial here: https://forums.steinberg.net/t/bbc-so-template-for-vienna-ensemble-pro/594568/38?u=gil75

Hello Andi,

Thanks for the quick and detailed answer!

As unfortunately in Dorico mixer values can't be displayed, in the Play tab I override at the beginning of each of my instrument tracks the CC7 value to the Synchron Player original Perform Master Volume value (i.e. CC7): does it make sense?

Also is modified by Dorico the Return 1 Volume (CC 5): do I have to take care also?

Thank you again for your great help!

Best regards,
Gil.

Hello,
Before this post I wasn't aware of this problematic with Dorico! So thanks for rising this important subject!

I checked the VSL Dorico project files and the mixer knobs are all aligned: it seems that the levels of the different instruments are set in the MIX panel of the Synchron Player: is it right?

Is there a way for VSL to share a list of MIX values of the SE-Synchronized instruments to use in Dorico please?

Thank you!
Regards,
Gil.

Hello,
Thanks (Andi & whoever did it) for the new Dorico Playback Template/Expression Maps 1.0.52 available in "Notation related" of https://www.vsl.co.at/en/MyVSL!

I was wondering what's new:
- Added Synchron Strings Pro
- Updated Synchronized Standard Edition volumes 1-7

I believe a small ReadMe would have help :)

Also tutorials have been updated in the "Tutorials/Templates" section.

Thanks!
Regards,
Gil.

Hello Paul,
Thanks for the M1 native VI and MIR Pro compatibility optimistic answer! :)
Cheers to you and the dev team!

Hello,
I don't know if it has been asked before (can't find it in the forum) but do VSL expect to port natively VI (Pro) and also MIR Pro?

Hello,

You can find a quite long discussion with examples at the Dorico forum:

Hello,

The user "PaoloT" has made a rendition of "Elgar - Enigma Variations - Thema" with Dorico and Synchron Strings PRO here:

Hello,

About the Dorico Articulate Map for VI instruments, you can check this Dorico forum thread for more information:

I'm adding there that before all the software becoming native to ARM architecture, Rosetta 2 could be a temporary solution (if all the things are running correctly on it).

Hello,

Martin, I just saw your answer about this subject: I've made an answer about it here, please don't hesitate to correct it.

Hello,

I think there are in fact a few questions here:

- QT: it's the software cross platform framework on which Synchron Player is based on (like other softwares like Dorico, Cubase, Sibelius, ...): currently at version 5, a beta version 6 juste came to life (20th October) and could possibly support macOS Big Sur: QT will support it, but no release date for now.

- CoreAudio: as Cyril Blanc said, the macOS audio API evolutions on Big Sur and/or ARM-based Macs could take time for developers to implement and be compatible with it

- Sound card: according to possible CoreAudio modifications, drivers should be updated and perhaps some sound cards won't be compatible

- eLicenser: this can also take time to make it usable on ARM based Macs

Regards,

Gil.

Hello,

I'm testing the Synchronized SE expression maps (vol 1-7) for Dorico (thanks VSL and Steinberg!) and I'm having a few questions about articulations.

For testing purpose I wrote the first bars of the Main Title of Star Wars.

On the Trombone 1 part, the chosen articulations by the expression maps are not the ones that I would like: they're too long.

Files for the example can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pqbktykbg2u8aof/AADo4jB5XUFV6gqgH7FP_Hsla

Non modified score:

- Score.jpg: the original score

- Dorico - Play.jpg: notice the "natural" playing techniques: it doesn't sound quite great on 32th notes

- Audio - VSL.mp3: audio rendering using VSL Synchronized SE expression maps

- Audio - NP.mp3: for reference: audio rendering using another VI

Modified score:

- Score - VSL modified.jpeg: added staccato on 32th notes and extend marcato range to a group of notes

- Dorico - Play - VSL modified.jpeg: you can see playing techniques modifications

- Audio - VSL modified.mp3: audio rendering using VSL Synchronized SE expression maps

Is this a good way to go or do you have any tips to do it better?

Thank you for your answers!

Gil.

Hello,

I don't know if you're looking for VI or Synchron, but for information Dorico Expression Maps for Synchron Solo Strings can be found here:

Hello Andi,

Thanks for this great and long waiting news, and thanks for your effort giving us the opportunity to use Synchronized SE instruments with Dorico 3.5! Can't wait to try them and the youtube stream!

Do you think these expression maps can be used as a foundation for full instruments expression maps? I mean by ourself, even if VSL is providing expression maps for full instruments (like the one for Synchron Strings I available at the Dorico forum) would be tremendous :) ?

Regards,

Gil.

Hello,

There's a post about the next Dorico session about Dorico and VSL:

https://www.vsl.co.at/community/posts/t56861-Playback-Templates-for-VSL-SYNCHRON-ized-Special-Editions--Discover-Dorico#post300118

I'm sure it will be interesting to watch :)

Hello,

Steinberg will stream a session called « Playback Templates for VSL SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions | Discover Dorico » on November 4th:

That will be very interesting for sure (congrats and thank you Andi)!

Hello Andi,

Thanks for you quick positive answer! Do you expect also to launch Dorico Expression Maps for new products?

Thank you!

Gil.

Hello,

I used also Sibelius with VSL but for a few reasons I'm switching to Dorico as Expression Maps in Dorico 3.5 can lead to possibly better results than Sibelius (waiting for Andi's Dorico expression maps for Synchron-ized SE).

Macker, is a NotePerformer performance like the following one sounds still not very good to your ears?

Star Wars Suite-Note Performer 3

Best regards,

Gil.

Hello,

There are already a few released/in progress non-official EM 3.5 for VSL products on the Dorico Forum, like in these kind of threads:

Hello,

This is great to see that new updates are still coming from the excellent and venerable VI Instruments, but can we have some info on what's inside the VI Percussion and the Vienna Choir latest update please?

Thanks!
