Hi

I experience a lot of interest in the questions around sample delay in the context with a DAW and explicit in the discussion about using expression maps = one instrument pr. track or the other which uses several tracks, holding one articulation for one instrument. The argumentation for the latter is that the delay of the sample is different for a long sample than for a short sample and therefor it's necessary to split instruments between several tracks because you can ONLY set the track delay (surprise) pr. track.

I have many - all I think - VSL string libraries and I really like the Synchron Strings / Synchron Strings Pro combo. So I decided to try to find the delay in Synchron Strings for longs and shorts, and found to my own surprise that in my system there are around 30ms delay from the midi event is send to VEPro and the audio "hits" Cubase. And what was surprising was, that it was the SAME delay, regardless which sample I chose. And it's in a play back situation with delay compensation ON of course.

Can anyone confirm that this is the case: that the sample delay is the same regardless articulation?

If this is the case, there are no reason to use separate tracks if the reason is to be able to handle the sample delay. Use one track, articulation maps and set the track delay to -30, and all samples from Synchron Strings will play spot on.

Thanks a lot!

I new there had to a way.

Hi

Using Synchronized Dimension Brass I, I was expecting that the Bass Trombone range would go up to a notated F5 (sounding Eb5), but the range stops at D5 (sounding C5).
Why? 

Can it be altered somehov?

I just a half step more! ;-)

Ok Fine!

Thanks

I wanted to control the legato/long attack-marcato with CC3 and found it already in use.

Can you recommend a CC for that?

Hi

What is the purpose of the Marcato slider routed to CC3 in 1st violins Synchron Strings Pro? 

Yes I have them all 
It's just funny that VSL being the one company, that relies most heavy on key switches, and then so few of the experts use Cubase, which quite frankly have the most elaborate, though not clever, system for KS.

Considering Studio 1, but it's only offering 1 key pr. articulation!

Hi

I send you an e-mail with the requested data.

Now I realise that it has to be connected to how VEPro7 is connected to Cubase, because when I turn OFF the "Always load - incoming project data" the app doesn't crash!

Could it be that the data coming from Cubase is kind of corrupted?
When Cubase crash, there is NO crash log whatsoever!

Hi

I have all my strings on a PC Server running Windows 10 + latest VEPRo7 7.0.1056

The set-up:
16 instances with Synchron Strings Pro + Dim + Synchron 1 and some others.
All instances enabled, none connected. If I select 1st violins Pro XF-sus and "shorts" and then click the tab Control, VEPro7 crashes completely.

If I select 2nd violins Pro XF-sus/shorts/Control= no crash. 

The set-up has been working very well for a while, but something must have gone wrong.

I will rebuild the set-up, but is there a crash report that would be of interest to you? 

Hi

Just wondering, when I have looked at VSL demo, almost everyone (maybe all?) are made with Logic.
Is there a reason to this?

Hi

I have this problem:

In VEPro 7 I have a setup of SFCS. Channel 1 is 1st violins, channel 2 is 2nd violins, and so on.
My 1st violins plays nicely with reverb on the "longs", but all the others don't.

So if I change the receiving MIDI channel on the instruments that doesn't work, they begins to work!

So in short: When SFCS runs in a Kontakt instance in VEPro7 it has to be set to channel 1 to playback all the right samples. Once it has been set to receive on channel 1 it's okay to set it to another channel, the reverb will play back, well until you save the patch and re load it, then it's the same problem again!
Can anyone confirm this?

SOLVED!!!! 
I had to set the MIDI channel of each preset NOT to omni but to the corresponding channel!
Ha ha ha!

Hi

I find that the range of the Velocity XF ex. in the synchronized piccolo flute is very small compared to the "original".

Is there a way to improve this range?
(And of course I have Dynamic Range set to max.)

More and more often my servers (1 PC Slave and 1 Mac Pro 12) both running VEPro7 latest version doesn't show up in the VEPro plug-in interface - inside Cubase 10.5 or Logic Pro X 10.5.
Nevertheless they ARE connected!

On the left side of this pic. there are an instrument connected to my PC Slave to the right the plug-in is open but there are no servers!

Can anyone help me with this?

Usually I can connect to the servers after a restart, but it kind of disturbs my workflow. 

Hi

I have some weird issues with the screen redraw in VEPro plug-in.

Take a look at the video.

Any explanations & solutions?

As Dewdman42 is saying you must consider HOW many instruments you are going to use at the SAME time.
I have a string slave, a PC, with 5 major string libraries all deactivated, and it's obvious, that I will not be using all 5 libraries at the same time.
Most of the time I will be using one string library and maybe 5 channels from other libraries to alter the sound.
In the creative fase it's very important that I can turn on the channels/instruments I want AND turn them off if I don't need them, and although you can turn off a channel in LPX (option click the on/off button), you will have to turn the channel off in VEPro 7 in another way. Using automation - a MIDI controller, I use CC101, - to turn off the channels you no longer needs.
Doing these kind of household things when trying to be creative IS the downside of the trade. And everyone will tell you NOT to do it at the same time, but thats difficult!
Handling used/unused instruments is very much easier if running all instruments inside Logic! 

That would be nice!!!

Here it is:

Sorry this was all wrong.
Here is the situation:

Thanks a lot.

No luck!

Please take a look on the video attached:

Hi

In a woodwind instance I want to reorder the channels, but the usual drag method doesn't work!!
Anybody with an idea why not?

Well that's what I have been doing always, but suddenly there was no sound.

A reboot and chek again the lecenses made it work!

Thanks

This is a bit complicated.

You can use the approach that says one instance/instrument. This gives you a lot of instances and can proove to be to much for your PC. On th other hand it's really easy to set-up in Logic and it's easy to understand (!)

If you go with the "old" way you put at lot of instruments in ONE instance, let's say all your woodwind in one instace and routing every instrument (if that's what you want) to it's own output. This can result in a more "clumsy" result in Logic, because you will need to activate the returning channels in the mixer and that can potentially give you a lot of unused channels!

I don't think that the workload on your PC will differ much though, just to say that 32GB ram and 4 treads (cores?) isn't that much, so you will benefit from leraning how to enable/disable VEPro channels FROM Logic, to save power on your PC.

Prepare to spend a lot of time on this!

Hi

I have a setup with woodwind synchronized librarie, that are running in an instance. Now I try to incorporate some VI - alto flute - in this instance and I have inserted Mir Pro in the send slot. 
Midi is reaching the channel and it plays fine if Mir Pro is BYPASSED, but if I want to hear Mir Pro, nothing is playing.

The "VU meter" in the top of the VI is indicating sound, but somehow it stops by Mir Pro.
I also had several crashes, both from the DAW (Cubase/Logic) and VEPro, running on a Mac Pro slave.

What did I forget here? 

Hi
I watched this clip about the original Dimension Brass which I have had for a number of years, and especial the Auto Divisi function, where you can play chords and have them distributed to different instruments.
If you have 4 horns, you will able to play a chord with 4 notes and VI Pro player will automatic distribute each note to horn 1, horn 2, horn 3 & 4!
Is it possible in the new Synchronized version?

Hi

This issue has been discussed in various forums. What I (we) dream about is that we could create an disabled instance and have the channels enabled by MIDI activity, letting us forget all about enable/disable channels by buttons on Metagrid or small bits of midi parts with CC's or so clutter up our workflow.
Is it possible?

Will it be implemented?

Again talking to my self ;-)
Cubase was updated yesterday, now it works!!
