Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but hasn't always been this way? The newer version can read the older, but the opposite is not granted. Sometimes, you could open a newer version's file with an older version of Logic, with a warning message. But it wasn't officially supported.

Yes, they are a 2nd Violin made with the transpose trick. You can duplicate Violin 1, and replace the patches with the transposed ones.

Paolo

Thank you very much, Paul.

Paolo

Thank you very much Paul, that would be great, and open new perspectives in realism!

Paolo

Since a new release of the Player is out, and this feature is not included, I'll beg to ask for it again. Dorico 4 will not be out for a long time, and the only opportunity to create techniques for natural tuning of winds is the inclusion of a control of the Pitch Bend via CC.

Paolo

I'm surprised not to see the Synchronized Dimension Brass in promo. They would be a great match with the new Synchron Brass! :)

Paolo

Hi,

I sometimes would like to move the faders in the main page to a different position. For example, I might want to add a Timbre Adjust fader, and move it next to the VelX fader.

Is it possible? If not, I would like to file this as a feature request.

Dietz, it's probably self-suggestion, or the way sources are placed in the room, but I have the impression the room doesn't sound the same in the narrow or wide position. But I guess it would sound as different in the same orientation, but with sources moved in a different position.

Paolo

I’ve seen that the classical concerts conducted by Johannes Vogel at the Synchron Stage see the orchestra set in the narrow position of the hall. By doing my tries with MIR, I would say that this produces the "darker" and "warmer" sound.

So, it seems that soundtracks and samples go for the brighter setup. Care to elaborate on the differences between the two positions for the different types of music?

I can see them in the presets. Maybe it is an omission from the contents page.

Paolo

Speaking of vouchers: since I guess many of us are waiting for the Woodwinds and other missing instruments, I'm sure a voucher sale would be welcome and well received…

Paolo

Hi,

I would like to reclaim back some space in my SSDs. So, I would like to remove some mics that I will never use, until I upgrade from stereo to 3D.

Am I wrong in thinking that the High Stereo and High Surround mics are irrelevant if only working in stereo?

Paolo

Andi, thank you for explaining. Good to know! I hadn't considered the time dimension!

Paolo

While remaking my presets: do you think the Filter control can be totally replaced by Timbre Adjust? Do we still need to use the old Filter in some cases? I would think it is now made entirely obsolete.

Paolo

I've not yet been able to use the new Player, but by reading your notes I understand that we are facing a real paradigm shift. This new Timbre Adjust is really working as dynamic control works in the real world.

Paolo

Andi, thank you very much for the new maps!

With the strong support VSL is giving to Dorico and the new series, I'm starting to think that I don't need my own maps, and could only replace some CC (like Attack, Release and Filter) in your default presets. A lot of work saved!

Just out of curiosity: in your maps for Dorico you went for Dorico's Conditions to select the staccato type. Should we prefer Dorico's Conditions for note length, or is the Synchron Player Auto patches a more reliable way to automatically select articulations? Is there a difference in their behavior? Is the one more powerful/flexible than the other?

Paolo

Excellent suggestions!

And — how do we need another voucher sale!

Paolo

I don't have SES, but I would also choose the closest setting among the presets. This should contain additional programming (EQ, artificial reverb, panning) more accurately crafted for a detailed solo sound.

Paolo

Filmographic, but also fabulous! What I would expect from a ballet.

Very nice colors and fat sounds!

Paolo

Thank you for the new content and the special prices. I finally decided to get the full SYzd Chamber Strings library. They will live their second life even in my scores!

Paolo

Thank you, Paul, understood!

Paolo

Hi,

I've seen that there is a recent update to Synchron Strings I available for download. Is this also to be applied to the Optimized version?

Paolo

Insert both ways. Hide the "portamento" textual technique. Turn off playback for the line+word technique (all can be done in the Properties pane).
