Well, in that case, an additional version for strings and for woodwinds would be welcome of course ...

 (Just as with the stretch mode in Vi Pro, one mode for strings, 2 modes for winds and percussion)

By the way, I really hope that this very good tool shall not replace velocity XF in the future.
This tool does a lot but not everything. With this tool you can't make for example a perfect pp violin tone from a ff tone.
The strength of this tool is in my opinion the greatly improved possibility to nuance the tone.

The more colors on your palette, the better you can approach reality. 

I should keep the filter and expression cc11. At the end of making a performance it can always possible that you can use it in a specific situation. But another can have of course another idea about this.

I used it in the cello solo part in combination with Vel XF. You can use Timbre Adjust to make the transition between vel layers more smoothly. But to have full advantage of it regarding voice count reducing of course it is necessary to switch off Vel. XF.

In the solo cello (and other string libraries) the vibrato of the high velocity layers is stronger than in the soft layers, So you can make a softer tone with a stronger vibrato with Timbre Adjust.

... and it effects the total volume of the tone, as cc11 expression. In my ears it seems to be a kind of expression 2.0. cc11 can have the effect of fading in and fading out ( what it is in fact). I don't think timbre adjust will have that effect easily.

I just want to express my enthusiasm about the feature "Timbre adjust".

Last year I composed a Ballad for violoncello and orchestra.
I worked very hard on the performance of the cello.
I just tried "timbre adjust" and I'm really excited about this. I read that it is made for brass, but for a cello it worked also very well!
So thank you, folks of VSL, for this very useful tool!! It can bring much more musical finesse and reality in the performance.

 

Edit: with the oboe it works also very well... Much to explore...

Hi Jos, beautiful done! I like the composition and the performance is so natural in all parts. The cello vola but also the flute. Congratulations!

Thanks for your reply. I didn't see until now the possibility of switching off and on the tremulant.

But I 'm hoping for buttons on the combine page. With a touch screen it is easy then to put the tremulant on or off. And there is place for such a button, so I hope it will be added.

Hi,
I'm exploring the Great Rieger Organ (very beautiful instrument and very useful also to play).I think I 'm missing something (but perhaps it is there and I didn't find it yet?), namely aon/off button for the tremulant, and in this instrument for every manual a dedicated button.When I use the tremulant (most of the time a solo melodywith tremulant on one manual and accompaniment on another manual and pedal), it gives a feeling of rest, when I turn the tremulant off on the final note.I hope that that button can be made in a future version.

Okay..... Well, sorry to say for you, but my unspoken feeling was that your version was an early version, that definitely needed some amelioration in the eyes of Bach.... but that makes sense with a genius like him 😉

Hi Stephen,

I wonder what version of the Fugue this is. Years ago I played this piece (it was one of the pieces that made me fall in love with the organ and especially Bach's music for the instrument). From about 3.40 there are substantial differences between the version that I played (and heard from many others) and the version you play.

The beautiful samples of the Vienna Konzerthaus Organ has been implemented now in a very useful player. Now this is very useful for live playing ánd with a DAW or notation software. Together with the church venues, that has been added, this is an excellent organ library!! Congratulations, team of VSL, on this new virtual musical instrument you brought into the market. In my opinion another milestone.

This is a master piece, in composition and in performance, a very high level! Congratulations!

Hi,

the only difference is the amount of microphones. See here: "Synchron Strings 1 Product Info" and scroll then to "Microphone Setup".

Hi Andrea,

that is a beautiful rendition, very natural. Congratulations! I enjoyed it!

Hi Claude (or Claude Marc?),

I had the same problem in the past with the Yamaha CFX. I have to dig in my memory. I think in my case it had to do with VST3. You could have a look, if you use the VST3 plugin or the VST2 64-bits plugin of Synchron Piano Player. In Samplitude there is a problem with VST3 plugins. Samplitude put the values of all cc's and the Pitch Bend to zero, when you start an existing project. 
If you are using now the VST3 plugin, you could try to use the VST2 64bits plugin and listen if that solves the problem (I don't know if you use directly the Synchron Piano plugin or the Vienna Ensemble Pro plugin. When you use the Vienna Ensemble Pro plugin and in that instance the Synchron Piano plugin, you have to use the VST2 64 bits version of Vienna Ensemble Pro).

I hope this is helpful. 

Good luck!

Thanks, VSL, for the great update. May I express something I hope for the future: the integration of the crescendo, diminuendo and pfp dynamics in Synchron-ized Woodwinds. For now I made a custom preset with a combined Vienna Synchron Player and Vienna Instrument Pro/MIR Pro instance, because I use that samples, especially with solos in orchestral music.

Hi Jos,

I enjoyed listening to it. The music and the performance. Very realistic.

Thanks for sharing the piece.

That's great news! It makes the Synchron Piano's even better and more irresistible than they were already. Personally I like very much the velocity map editor! A beautiful fine tuning tool! Thanks for the effort you made!

I just played a little on the Steinway. With the velocity map editor a little bit adjusted, my Kawai keyboard has really gotten so much more a Steinway feeling (of course a real Steinway wins always ;) ). 
So many times it is in the details, and in this case for me the little adjustment in the velocity map makes the VSL Steinway the perfect instrument!

Hi Dave,

A marvelous piece, Dave. You know, that most of the time I can't say so much about music, except one thing: I'm fascinated by it or not, I feel (or think I feel ;) ) the intention of the composer or not, and with this piece I hear definitly something that appeals to me in one way or the other. There is something very coherent in it, it tells me something musically, the last part with some humor in it (okay, that's what I hear...). From what I remember of your music, I shouldn't be supprised if this is one of your best pieces. And writing something for Becky is always special for you, I think. Congratulations!

I enjoyed your performance of Vivaldi's Winter. May I ask which library you use for the orchestra. I suppose, that the solo violin is the first violin of Solo Strings 1 of VSL.

You can probably link with a virtual midi cable like loopmidi. Install it on your pc and choose loopmidi1 as midi input device in lmms. Choose loopmidi1 as midi output device in musescore.
