Hi Kai, 

Thanks for your post. 

No plans to repackage Synchron Strings I so far, but we will be listening to the reactions of our users.
We also don't want to make this more confusing.

Hi David, 

"Synchron Strings Pro" because it really is more than just a second part for Synchron Strings I. 

Synchron Strings Pro is a fresh approach and also contains some articulations from Synchron Strings I, which makes it an independent product AND and upgrade/crossgrade from Synchron Strings I at the same time. 

You are correct about CC2, but that should be done with a click. Hope that's OK for you, we're trying to keep the preset list as lean as possible!

Paul

Hi Muziksculp, 

I think that our upcoming demos and videos will help you with that decision. 

You cannot go wrong with the Standard Library, and if you hear something that really enchants you about the Full Library Mixes, you know what to do!

Paul

Hi,

Thanks for all the kind feedback, we're very happy that this library is received so well. 

@plowman: Yes, those cantabile and lyrical legato are only available with Synchron Strings I. 

@Macker: Isn't it great how plans are constantly changing? 

Best, 
Paul

EDIT: My mistake, we have implemented the Cantabile Legatos in SY Strings Pro, but we have changed the name, to better fit in the concept: "Cantabile Strong" is now "Molto Vibrato", "Cantabile Light" is the "Regular Vibrato". 

Hi Jimmy, 

Happy to hear that you like it.

You can use your libraries as you like, those are independent libraries that complement each other very well. As explained in the videos and on the website, a few articulations (some shorts, trills, tremolos, pizzicato...) have been taken from Synchron Strings I, apart from that, it's all new recordings. 

We have poured everything we have learned from the successful Big Bang Orchestra Series into the recordings of Synchron Strings Pro, with a focus on playability and an economic footprint, while establishing musical possibilities that simply were not available before.

Synchron Strings I has more dynamic depth in terms of velocities, but it was quite a different recording approach back then. 

We believe that we are getting closer to the demands of modern composers with this new approach.

Paul

Hi Bill. 

Did you update your eLicenser Control Center yet?

Best, 
Paul

Hi Bill, 

Thanks for the update!

The Synchron Strings Pro license is a separate license, no collisions with any other license there. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi, 

Glad to see you excited as well. 

@Bill: Please check again, and make sure that you are logged in!

@149163 (you might want to change your forum name): We're usually very quick .

Welcome gitika1, 

That's indeed accurate.

Hi Paul, 

I checked with our developers, here is their reply: 

"If the message box was created in the main thread, the scanning progress might still show which plug-in caused the error message. We cannot show anything from within VEP in case this occurs - it is not our software popping this message, and we have no way of being aware of any issues with the plug-in, unless it fails scanning. It is up to the plug-in developer to show an appropriate message upon critical failures."

Paul

Hi Joerg, 

On Mac, the plug-in paths are "written in stone", and all plug-ins are installed into that structure (unlike the organization of VST Plug-in Folders on Windows). 

It can be, that some VST plug-ins on Mac are not designed so well... we have tried to work out a solution for most of them... Did you make sure you have all the latest versions installed? Which plug-ins are affected?

Paul

Hi, 

Maybe a stupid question,  but could it be that you are streaming over WIFI?

Best,
Paul

Hi, 

This should be fairly simple and is explained in the Vienna Instruments Tutorials. 

Basically, you create 2 cells and then you decide how you want to switch between them.

Best, 
Paul

Hi daerp, 

Plug-in scan is the part of VE Pro that scans your plug-ins. The easiest way to find out what's going on is to remove the plug-ins you added or updated latest from your Plug-in folder and see if that changes things. 

Best, 
Paul

My pleasure. 

Hi, 

Just checked, and it looks like you downloaded those licenses to a different eLicenser. 

Moving licenses between eLicenser USB keys is simple: 

1) Connect both keys to your computer
2) Open the eLicenser Control Center
3) Drag the license(s) from one key to the other key. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Eric, 

Are the licenses visible on your ViennaKey?

Best,
Paul

Hi, 

There are double the round robins in the bigger collections, usually. 

It should be mentioned in the manual. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi, 

I just checked your licenses, and you have moved some of them to a new key in 2017, including your Special Edition Volume 1. Hope that helps (won't post details here, but you can contact us via ).

Paul

Hi mkapou, 

Correction: The number of sequences depends on the number of cells in the Y-Axis of each matrix.

A good idea is to learn from existing sequencer matrices, it is quite a complex and powerful tool!

Hi David, 

Good point. We are waiting for an update of our development environment, which is needed to make Dark Mode work. Will take some more time and work, but it's on the list.

Hi, 

Forum language is english - you will reach more people when you speak their language :-)

So there IS a budget, right?

Musicians get asked all the time to work for free, that's why I'm asking. 

Best,
Paul

Welcome to the forum, Bulli, 

It will make sense to mention whether you have a budget for this kind of task. 

There are many talented composers / arrangers in this forum!

Best,
Paul
