Greetings from Hollywood,

First, allow me to congratulate the Vienna team on a smooth transition to iLok.

I've downloaded approximately 50 of the 100 or so VSL products I'm licensed to use.

But then I purchased the Synchron Harp about 30 hours ago, only to be told Vienna was unable to deposit the license into my iLok account. When will this be solved, and why can't I have a temporary elicense while I wait?

Sychron Harp was an elicense product a couple of weeks ago. There has to be a way.

Thanks,

Mike B.

Paul,

For those of us who dived right-in and purchased VEP 7, but already have the Giant Taiko, may we have an alternate incentive?

Besides, wasn't this used as an incentive for someting else? Wasn't it SY Percussion 1??????????

Hello Gino,

Probably better to keep your samples away from your system drive. Leave them on an external if you can.

The USB key provides the only authorization you'll need. No de-authorization required. You may want to uninstall SE Vol 1 from the Lion partition to save space, but this is not required.

Use the (Directory Manager) to tell your system where your samples are. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep your samples on an external drive.

Logic Pro will be on the new partition NOT the samples.

Hope this helps... Mike B.

Had the same problem also on a Mac.
I was using the Download Manager for install and it was taking hours. 

Decided to try The SYNCHRON INSTALLER.

Problem solved about 15 minutes per install.

EDIT: I negelcted to mention that I also used different SSD's while switching to The Synchrpn Library Installer. After further tests It appears the original SSD refused to cooperate with Synchron.... Not sure why.

So Crucial Brand SSD's worked fine as always.


Hope this helps...

Mike B.

Paul, 

Thank you for clearing all that up. You were right I do LOVE these strings.

Best,

Not all, CFX is a part during introduction period

That is a very good catch V ad im... Very good indeed. Says "Introductory Offer," not to be confused with "Promotional Offer."

Yilalata,

I've been asking the same question?

Is the Player available to all Synchron Products (TODAY) or is  it just for Fx Strings customers?

Mike B.

In other words, if you already have a license for Synchron Strings 1 or Synchron Percussion 1, do you NOW have access to the Synchron Player?

Or must you first purchase Fx Strings 1?

Mike B.

Greetings from Hollywoodl,

Anyone else have this problem or was I just too quick? As soon as I saw Fx Strings 1 were available I went too "My VSL" but there was no sign of of the  Synchron Player.

It wasn't until I purchased Fx Strings 1 that the Synchron Player appeared.

As a licensed Synchron Percussion 1 and Synchron Strings 1 user, shouldn't the Player be available today without puchasing Fx Strings 1?

Again, forgive me  if I was too fast. Anyone else have this experiance?

Can't wait to dive into those Fx Strings.

Thanks,

Hi Sarah,

In case you have not already figured it out, yes The Vienna Instruments Player is included in that "package".

You may need to point the Vienna Directory Manager toward the location of your samples.

Hello Al_Lupo,

I caught up with our friends from Vienna just last night at Westlake Pro in North Hollywood. We were given the 2018 catalog (I think you may have it).

On page 21 under Keyboards Complete is the Yamaha CFX listed as NEW with a note Available Q2/2018.

No idea if it's going to be closer to April or June. As it is a part of The Synchron Series lets hope it's sooner rather than later.

You said you now use the Imperial... Is that the Boosendorfer or Vienna Imperial?

Greetings from Hollywood,

Mike B.

Paul & Steffan,

It was a pleasure to have finally met you all. You were each very generous with your time and frankly, treated me like a king.

Steffan, Thanks for the great conversation and the (Vienna Pro) T-Shirt and Lanyard.

Paul, Thanks for allowing me access during set up. Enjoyed your presentation. Absolutley loved the Synchron Player, and as you said "Better to keep the player's launch date conservative."

Shout out to Martin who is NEVER in the chatroom.... It was nice meeting you as well.

As always... Greetings from Hollywood.

Mike B.

I hope we'll get some more videos with better sound.

I was there, 2nd row center (just off camera) and in my opinion it was much too loud most of the time.

The video screen is gorgeous live but brutally washed on camera. Surprising as I noticed Leica lenses on their very nice cameras.

Westlake should release editied pieces of the presentation soon including better audio.

It probably should be said that The Vienna Imperial has its own player. It does not work within The Vienna Instruments Player or The Vienna Instruments Pro Player...

Just an FYI.

Interesting conversation...

"I'm currently downloading and installing Full libraries, but one problem is that my 2TB SSD is not enough to deal with all of my virtual instruments samples. Only VSL samples occupied almost 700 GB now ! (Strings Complete without Sordinos except Orchestral Strings). Does this mean it's time to get another SSD so that I have total 4TB to manage them ? lol :)"

It's almost always a good idea to spread your sample libraries across multiple SSD's or HDD's

None of which should be your OS (system) drive.

Mike B.

Thank you for your swift response...

Yes! I've used The Vienna MIRacle plugin for years and enjoy it. Thank you for clearing that up...

It's confusing because it was mentioned in the MIR Pro update. I didn't think the MIRacle plug-in had updates, since it no longer appears in VSL's available software.

Thanks again.

Mike B

Perhaps you can be more specific. I too was very excited to see the announcement of Miracle presets in MIR.

I Own MIR Pro I also own Vienna MIRacle and fail to see the connection. What shoild I be looking for in MIR Pro to see these Synchron MIRacle presets?

Or are you seeing this in Ensemble Pro? 

Thank you in advance... Mike B

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. This can't be Dimension Strings all over again.

As I recall the year was 2012, September in fact.

Some of us were able to jump in right away. Others however, had an accurate need to know how long the special would last. They were told no longer than first quarter 2013. So they scrambled to find a way to make the purchase whether it was in their best financial interest or not...

The idea was that we "early birds" would enjoy a sizable discount, receive are Violins right away, and the rest of the strings as they became available. (DISASTER)

VSL did not have the servers then, they have now. Violins took 3 days to download. The second piece, Cellos, arrived (9 months later, in June 2013). Yes they were easy to download but that early bird special... Was still going on. 

Violas arrived (6 months after that, in January 2014). Sadly, the so called early bird special turned out to not be so special afterall, as it had not yet expired.

Finally the Basses came online July 2014 (7 months after Violas, 11months after Cellos, and nearly 2 years after Violins).

I am convinced we won't go through that again. But I purchased week one then and I've purchased week one now. I don't enjoy spending money before I have too.

As always, Greetings from Hollywood.

Mike B.

Yes Teledex has been my go-to stage for years. As you are a mad scientist Dietz, naturally I blamed you.for the wonderful "Deep" preset. I just missed having a wide alternative. Your presets make us lazy. As hard as we work a little lazy is appreciated from time to time.

Excellent! Synchron wide it is.

Nice talking to you Dietz, and greetings from Hollywood...

Mike B.

Hello Dietz,

Can those of us using MIR Pro expect a Synchron Stage (wide) preset???

I ask because sadly, there is no wide preset for Teledex.

Almost every photo I see of Synchron (in real world use) is wide. So wide presets would be nice for VSL's host stage.

Thanks

Mike B.

Suntower,

It honestly depends on your workflow. If you are accustomed to loading EVERYTHING Chamber Strings has to offer, be advised,

some in these forums report Dimension Violins alone wants 10 to 13 gbs of RAM but that's only if you load EVERYTHING.

If you only load that which you'll use, you may not notice much or any RAM increase, when compared to Chamber Violins.

Like many, I have installed DV on its own SSD. I use a separate SSD for time stretching and that function is still slow in DV.

I haven't tried loading DV from traditional HD's, but it loads quickly from SSD's.

Marko,

Incase you didn't know:

The MIR Room EQ provides very exact coordinance. You can read precise positions of each bubble and reproduce the exact settings very easily.

Greystorm,

Try mixing as much as you can while it's in this Midi format. While still in VEP and MIR.

If you are happy with the mix, bounce or export individual tracks or stems as audio files for further mixing / mastering.

These files should be wet. You will not return this project to VEP or MIR.
