Hi all,

since this update I have a Server connection issue.

I do not know what Steinberg has made here, But this is the biggest crap-update of elicenser ever!

For the First time ever I can not update or install licenses.

At the moment I want to upgrade the license for Spectral Layers 7 and to install the new license for the latest BBO Neptune. IMPOSSIBLE ... I changed to another PC ... same problem ... I pulled the elincenser key out of the usb-hub  and put it into an own port ... no effect.

Are the issues known? I looks like there is a Server Connection issue ... never had this before. I did not change anything on my installation PC which is most of the time only used for test or installations.

Maybe the next Version will fix it ... hopefully ...

Hello Viennese,

great additions In the last months! And this is truly a Highlight. I bought everything and will finally download A LOT this WE.

2 questions aren’t left since most percussion instruments are recorded now. Are Marimba and Concert chimes a topic for an update/upgrade or are the percussions „Im Kasten“ and ended now?

Thanks and keep recording BBO Libraries 

Thanks, WOW that's SSD-friendly data ... will be bought soon :) 

Hello Ben,

how much SSD-Space do both have? Maybe I'm blind ... I don't find the info.

Thanks.

Hi, it would be great to have controllable large swells which are recorded with the whole Orchestra.

Recently I heard a piece which is a good example for this kind of swelling sound. Please listen from Start to 2:15 (or longer if you want)

Thanks.

Great Release! I will order these + the Imperial soon.  

Most desired future wish (probably for many people) ... to make it a perfect match with the dimension series ... 

- Wagner Tuba Ensemble

- Trombone Ensemble

Thanks.

There is a "Concert Centered" preset included for the both pianos that have not been recorded in the center of the hall(Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial). You will see that these are mainly paning adjustments in close and mid mics. 

So this is very much a matter of perception, and you can easily adjust any "conductor's perspective" preset like that. 

Best, 
Paul

Thanks, Paul ... I will have a look.

Best, Lars

But be careful with the Robot Arnold. I tried it only one time & asked: "Hey Arni, when will the Synchron Brass 1 be released?"

He answered: "I don't understand".

Too bad.

Future wish:

It is great that everybody now can play three different Pianos in three different Positions of the hall.

But for future (unexpected) Piano recordings I hope that VSL chooses the center Position from now on.

Thank you for great releases!

Ups ... now I understand the request better. 

But I still think that rhythmic Foot Stomps, handclaps, snaps, hits on the thighs (new) could be a good idea too.

Theoretically this could be the first Library by the VSL employees only :)

There was a release of a handclap-library which came out last year from a firm called robotic bean. But I agree with you that the Viennese could catch the sound more than other firms with alle their possibilities.

... and Finger-Snaps :)

Hello, yes this is a good one. A few months ago I thought about rhythmic hand claps of a group @ SynchronStage ... So, I add this here.

Best, Lars

Hi Paul,

I remember when the Synchron FX Strings came out some people were joking when you mentioned in the Promovideo that the possibilities are "endless". 

From now on no one will even think about seeing a joke in that ... This Feature changes the Game totally!!

WOW!!

Big Smile and a BIG thank you to the crew!

Danke, David! 

Hello VSL Team,

could you please doublecheck the datasize of this product? A short confirmation is enough.

The product is officially: 26,7 GB on your Website, Paul has 19 GB on his Mac and LAJ has 17 GB on PC/ Win 10.

In other words: "Eins, Zwei oder Drei?"

Thank you.

For the BBO I would prefer mixed Percussion LIve- performances by Percussionists. 

Also I would like to see artificial "trailer percussion performances" and more swooshes in a second Part of Smart Hits.
Yesterday I heard and watched a demo of "Keepforest Devastator" at Bestservice which has this kind of sounds at a real hard level. But for that the SY-Player needs an Arp-Editor. 

Servus.

one short Question for doublechecking if the Installation is in order ...

My SSD has shown an Installation around 17 GB.

The Website writes "26,7 GB Speicherplatz". Is 17 GB right?

Thank you.

BR, Lars

Hi, I have a mini-SY-future mission which is only a cosmetic change.

Please change the font color from black to white in your Synchron Player - FX-Plugins. Sometimes it is hard to read on displays which are standing further away.

Thnaks :)

(Bitte ändert die Schriftfarbe der Synchronplayer FX-Plugins in Weiß, da sie bei dunklen Hintergründen z.B. Synchronized Clarinet schlecht lesbar ist, wenn das Display weiter weg steht.)

I took a look into my license-jungle ... no separate licenses for the BonusTaiko.

Funny to read because smart orchestra and smart spheres are the only 2 VSLproducts I do not have at the moment. I even received the Taiko Drum in 2 different sales actions (1. SY Percussions I AND 2. VEPro 7). Theoretically I could give you one plus my Epic Orchestra 2 because I have no use for it ... but I fear this is not allowed.

yeah ok, you hear it in BBO because you have groups playing. Then ... if you load a Synchron Drum like the Giant Taiko which you maybe (hopefully) received with VE Pro 7 and you Play only the Close Channel in MIR, you will succeed. 

I named the BBO because it is free. The drums are of course better examples whe it comes to closesound experiments.

1. Jshamon, the best way to understand the differences is to try it out. Why don't you load the FREE Big Bang Orchestra? It is a Synchron Product too and you will see the differences between Roomsound VS Close Sounds by opening and closing the different channels.

2. Vienna MIR Pro has a second Microphone as an Option which makes the sound a little thicker. maybe you can get a demoversion from the Viennese.

Hi, you can switch MIR X in the SY Player OFF and the sound is dry and centered.

(Edit: Of course we are speaking about SynchronIZED in this regard)

Edit 2:

When it comes to the Synchron ( - Multi Mic Series ) ...
What Dewdman writes is, that you could use (only) the Close Mics of the Synchron ( - Multi Mic Series ) and use those Close Recordings in MIR. Why not?
Of course this does not work with Room mics or surround mics etc. since these recorded the instruments positioned.

Did he?? Yesterday I saw a photo with Hans, Paul Thomson and the Spitfire crew ... The picture was made for a HZ-Strings-Update ... I think Hans is jumping on many trains ... and Stages ;)

It is simple for people who know VSL. But compare it to Spectrasonics and you will find room for improvement.

Updates for Libraries, Expression maps etc. ... it is not so easy to be up to date compared with other developers. You always have to search the categories. Not a PITA but I hope that one day everything at VSL will updated as easy as in Omnisphere.

Edit: BTW I see an Update for the BBO. Is this for the free version or for the new one?
