Just a guess - perhaps a matter of convenience - having it loaded up that way.  

Hi Paolo,

My guess would be that it is a more realistic musical representation of a crescendo through a series of repeated notes.  Similar to how they have crescendo and diminuendo patches on sustained pitches.  Yes, you could achieve this by riding the cc velocity crossfader up and down, but it comes off more realistic when the players actually record the crescendo and diminuendo.   To get the effect of the perf-rep-dyn patch, you could also ride your cc up or down while playing just the perf-rep patch, but again, I think pre-recording the succession of changing volumes is more convincing in the finished product.  That is the mark of an excellent library - the multitude of articulations recorded in a variety of ways.

Thanks Paolo - I do have VEPro 7 and had not thought of that.  That is a good idea - much appreciated.

Hello,

I am looking to add some more aggressive brass (Big Bang) to some pieces that also use Synchron-ized special edition woodwinds and percussion.  Do the Kopernikus, Jupiter, Hercules etc. libraries blend well in a setting like this?  I did download the trials a few months ago, but did not spend as much time with them as I should have, but am thinking of purchasing this month.

 I was wondering if anyone has any experience blending Big Bang expansion packs with other synchron-ized (non Big Bang) instruments.   It doesn't necessarily have to be the combination I listed above, but rather if the effect from mixing seems plausible.  

Thank you.

Mike

Yes - I was using the Synchron-ized version when I noticed it.

Thank you Paul!

Hello,

I was working with the Dimension Brass Horn 2 Synchron, and found in the sustain patch, the E above middle C, has a flam effect at the highest velocity layer on every other key strike.  At first, I thought I had changed something in the settings of my project, but I reopened a new instance in standalone and found the same thing.  Has anyone else noticed this? Is there something I might have changed in a setting?  I just happened to have a succession of that note at that velocity layer in my project and it stuck out.

Thank you.

Mike

Hello Thorny,

The vibrato in the VSL libraries is not user-controllable, in that you cannot send a midi message to a non-vibrato patch and have it result in vibrato.  The VSL libraries have patches that have the vibrato recorded right into the sample, in other words, it is baked in and always present.  This makes the vibrato sound much more realistic because it is really the player playing with vibrato!  If there are notes that you do want to use vibrato with, and notes that you do not, you will have to assign a different sample to the various notes.  Depending on how expanded your library is and the amount of articulations you have, you may or may not have this available for every instrument.  

Also is the fact that some instruments do not use vibrato as much.  The clarinet, for example, rarely even uses vibrato in a classical context, but does, use it in jazz and dixieland.

I hope this helps.

Mike

Thank you Andi!

Hello,

I have a question regarding the snare drum that comes with the synchron-ized special edition volume 2.  It is actually the sycnchron snare drum that is included in that package.

When I turn on velocity crossfade, all of the single hits, flams, drags etc. respond to the CC controller and get louder and softer accordingly with my CC controller, as you would expect.  The long drum roll, however, still only responds to velocity.  Is there a way to get the long roll to respond to the velocity crossfade controller as well so that you can crescendo and diminuendo throughout a drum roll?  It is the roll that is mapped to C# on the keyboard.

The synchron-ized snare drum that is part of special edition volume one does so, and it is very useful.  It would be great if the synchron snare could do the same.  

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Mike

Thank you, Paul!

Hello,

I just downloaded the trial for the Big Bang Trumpets, Horns and Low Brass - excellent sounding and very impressive!

I have one question:

When I go to load the trumpet patch, for example, I can load "trumpets" or "trumpets VelXF"

Does loading the regular "trumpet" preset and then manually enabling velocity cross fading give you the same result as just loading "trumpet VelXF"?  Is there some other difference between the tow other than that?  Is there another use and/or difference for the two varieties of patches?

Thank you and thanks also for offering the trial of these great libraries.

Thank you, Paul.

Hello,

I decided to update to some of the synchron-ized special editions.  After downloading the samples and directing the installation path, I saw the notice that says:

ATTENTION:  Vienna Synchron sample content needs to be installed on SSD!

Would this pertain just to the samples that are actual synchron samples, such as the piano and synchron drums included with the SE's, or is it also the synchron-ized files too?  

If the SSD pertains ony to the actual synchron files, could I elect not to install them at this time, and still install the synchron-ized files on my 7200 rpm sample drive?

I was not aware of the necesseity of the SSD - not blaming anyone - just myself for not catching it.  

So, in short, just watned to know if I could install the synchron-ized files on my standard sample hard drive, or if I need an SSD for everything in the SE's.   

Thanks!

I understand - thank you, Paul.

Hello,

I've been very much enjoying my VI SE (great products) and am considering going over to try some of the Synchron-ized SE's and I have two main questions:

1:  Is the primary difference between the two the Synchron Stage IR the new Synchron player that is included?

2. I uderstand the difference between your Synchron instruments and Synchron-ized instruments.  Are there plans to create actual Synchron Libraries and perhaps have these in a SE package?  

I understand my second question may not be something that can be answered specifiacally at this time, but I was just wondering how much of the library will be Synchron and how much will be Synchron-ized.

Thank you for this terrific collection of samples - they are the best!

Mike

Thank you, Paul.

Hello,

I have a question about the dimension brass synchron library.  I currently have dimension brass (VI) and I use it with other VI woodwind instruments for concert band/wind band type work. I use mir x room packs for my reverb.  Will the reverb of the synchron mix well with the mir x room packs that I would still be using on my VI woodwind instruments?  

Can you use the mir x reverbs with the synchron player, or is only the synchron reverb used?

Just curious before I check it out.

Thank you.

Mike

Thank you for your suggestion.  I currently do not have a firewall on, and I am only using one machine.  

I forgot to add that I can lauch it in standalone with no problem.

Mike

Hello,

I just downloaded the 30 tiral version of VE Pro 6.  When I open it in my daw - Studio One V.3, I cannot get beyond the "Connect" screen.  Liocense is downloaded and all set.  There are blank white bars after "server" and "instance"  I have a screen shot, but could not attacht it to this message.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks!

Mike

Thank you!

Alright - thank you very much for your help.  Yes, you are correct, I currently have the free version that comes with Vienna Instrument Pro.

Is this the full version purchase page?  

https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Vienna_Software_Package/Vienna_Ensemble_PRO

I did'nt see any differentiaion between an upgrade from 4 or 5 and a first time Pro purchase.

I just want to make sure I don't purchase an uprade path I cannot use.  Any assistance in finding/confirming the exact product I need to get 6 Pro wouldl be appreciated. 

Thanks again.

Mike

Hello, 

I currently have VE 6 (not pro).

On the website page to purchase pro it says:  

"Please note that you need a valid license for Vienna Ensemble Pro 4 or Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 on your ViennaKey to apply the Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 license upgrade. 

The software installation of Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 will overwrite Vienna Ensemble Pro 4 or Vienna Ensemble Pro 5. All Vienna Ensemble Pro 4 or Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 projects are fully compatible with Vienna Ensemble Pro 6."

Can I purchase VE Pro 6 without having Pro 4 or Pro 5?  I would like to go pro, but am not sure if I can from the free verison that I currently have.

Thank you.

Mike
