The SYNC'ed SE is for me a worthy product because you don't get only the MIR reverb but also loudness matched samples. You don't have to fuss around any more to get a reasonable realistic sound. IMHO you get the room sound, balanced samples and a more convenient UI.

The new plucked instruments the issue of sound balancing is less important. If you don't care for the UI you get the room sound for 20,- (if you already own the lib). Here I agree, paying for a MIRx extensions makes more sense than buying a SYNC'ed version of everything.

That said I like the Synchron Player. So now that I have SYNC'ed version I want to use MIRx extensions for them. After all they were recorded dry anyway, Yes, I could use MIR PRO. But that's way to expensive for private use.

So, yes for a MIRx Synchron Stage extension and yes to bring MIRx to the Synchron Player.

PS: Anyway, I don't beleive you see a MIRx Synchron Stage unless all old libs have been released SYNC'ed.

Ah!

Well done, you have convinced me.

Masi

Sounds great! I really love the better usability of the Synchron Player compared to the VI Player.

Do we get a Synchron Stage convolution reverb like we have it for the SYNC'ed SE?

I am thinking of a placement of the soloist (mostly acoustic guitar and upright bass) in front of the orchestra.

Masi

VSL, please continue this trend. Thanx for the Capricorn scores!

Masi

For the old VI Player you had to buy the PRO version to get tempo syncing. Which is (probably as in all other products realized) by stretching the samples.

If we're very lucky we're get it in a free update for the Synchron player.

In the meantime render the phrase as audio and do the stretching in the DAW.



You mean you want the MIDI notes of the played phrases exported to the DAW?

Ok, nice. Are you aware that doubling for this means adding the same instruments again to the mix. You cannot exclude any instrument from BB.







Before Capricorn came out IMHI it didn't make any sense. After all it was only about sustains or hits.

Now it is in the spirit to add percussion phrases to accompany Capricorn. I can also imaginge swelling drum rolls leading to pitched hits or echoing drum hits. Maybe even unrhytmic percussion would do well with the microtuning FX patches.

To me this question is related to that one:

BIG BANG ORCHESTRAL - Scoring chart

Masi

You mean you want to know which instruments are heard if you play eg C4? That's what I'd like to know.

Other than that I am curios if each instruments simply plays the lowest physical possible note or the lowest note of the "useful range".

But of course it is interesting to know how it really was scored.

Masi

You are right. They are not in the manual.

The manual also says nothing about polyphonic playing. Do we only get two orchestras playing at the same tone or is there some magic that splits the orchestra.

Masi

Maybe there are plans to create a PRO version of the synchron player. The old free VI player also had no options to sync tempos, but the PRO version had.

Masi

When you click on the top row buttons (instruments, articulation, etc) a menu opens. There you can assign any key range you like. The key you choose will be to bottom key for the column you are editing. The options are note (black and white keys) or white note (only white keys).

But moving the keys switches up will make you loose to bottom notes for the orchestra. I suggest you revert to MIDI programs or dimensions controllers configured to CC numbers.

Masi

I notice that I can play more than one note at a time. The effect is seemingly that only instruments with a range that covers that note play.

But I'm not sure what happens if I play more than one note and I do not play note an octave apart. Is there any information available on how the notes are assigned to instruments?

Masi

Too bad :(

I have a few single instruments along with VI-SE. Obviously I (and many others like me) who have cross-graded to SYNCHRON-ized SE would love to hear their "old" single instruments together in the Synchron Stage.

As a hobbyist MIR PRO is simply too expensive. I'm not complaining about the price as such for MIR PRO. Given the features it is fair.

I'm willing to spend money on MIRx Synchron but I won't buy all VI instruments again SYNCHRON-ized. The reason why I did for VI-SE was the new player and workflow.

Masi

The videos make it quite clear.

Though this wraps it up quite good.

Thank you to both,
Masi

PS: Lazy as I am I now wished I could have an auto-arranger like Smart Orchestra for the SYNCHRON-ized SE :)

How do these products relate to each other. I upgraded VI SE to SYNCHRON-ized SE and I wonder what I woud get if I purchased Smart Orchestra as well.

Masi

Youtube tells me that the video is private.
