1.New in VSL world 4/2/2022 1:22:59 PM

Hello Martin and welcome to the forum. Synchron player is not a multitimbral instrument, you need another instance of synchron player if you want to load another instrument. If your host has a limit on the number of VSTi:s possible to add, you might want to check out the free Vienna Ensemble:

2.Synchron Player: Should I not see Elite Strings here? 3/24/2022 6:35:52 PM

Turned out that the iLok interface showed the state of an open session (in the menus), but the session must have gone stale somehow or not gotten updated, because closing and starting a new session did the trick! (I know, oldest trick in the book, but everything looked good in iLok)

Once again, thank you for your input!

Happy to help, and glad you're up and running!

3.Synchron Player: Should I not see Elite Strings here? 3/24/2022 2:38:44 PM

Could it be that you have not started the cloud session from the iLok license manager?

Precisely. Paul stated this in the migration thread:

With a highly demanding production process like ours, we simply cannot afford to be hacked. 

5.Synchron Player Crashing 3/21/2022 9:04:35 PM

All software has a history of problems, that is just the nature of things. In my experience however, software from VSL is among the most stable applications in the music industry, with support matching that. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing problems, but if you give someone from VSL a chance to respond, I'm sure your issue will be worked out. In the meantime, why don't you provide the forum with some more information, like your computer specs, OS, DAW et cetera?

6.Load Times 1/13/2022 10:48:35 AM

Hi,

I'm also quite confident you will be fine. I'm on 64Gb RAM, Ryzen 3900x, and it seems to handle my Synchron Standard template just fine. Got Harp, Piano, Woodwinds, Brass, Pro Strings, Elite Strings, Percussion I + II and BBO Ganymedes loaded via VE Pro, and still got plenty of unused RAM. CPU load is quite high though, but in realistic usage scenarios, not problematicly so.

8.Triggering keyswitches on controller 1/3/2022 8:43:00 PM

Why not use the pads and assign them to the note values corresponding to the key switches?

”Launchkey has 4 pad Custom Modes. To access these Custom Modes just hold Shift and then press any of the four Pad Mode Custom buttons. Pads can be configured to send MIDI notes, Program Changes messages and CC messages using Components.

Your Launchkey comes with 4 default custom pad modes that demonstrate the possibilities of this feature. From left to right the default pad modes offer the following functionality:

Minor Scale: Each pad is a note in the C minor scale across 2 octaves.”

Hi Andi!

Awesome, thank you very much. I noticed there's even an expression map availale for the harp, much appreciated!

Kind regards

You can already add the Synchron Harp in VE Pro, just like any other plug-in (it does't have a dedicated button yet). 

Best,

D'oh! Thanks Paul. I'm a moron. :)

Any chance Cubase expression maps for Synchron Woodwinds will be released soon?  Do any of the other maps for other sections “mostly” work with the new woodwinds?

Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay,

According to Paul, expression maps for Synchron Woodwinds should release early in 2022:

There has not been much demand for Cubase Expression Maps for the Synchron Percussion libraries yet. So currently there are no plans to create such maps.

Here's one request for Expression Maps for Synchron Percussion!

13.Synchron player has strange high ringing sound - Issues running at 48kHz 12/26/2021 4:16:29 PM

No problem here at 48kHz in Presonus Studio 4, nor in Cubase 11 Pro, before or after loading Expression Maps. As you're not using Cubase, did you by any chance mean the new Articulation Switching system introduced in Studio 5.2?

Kind regards

14.Pianos - which one to get 12/26/2021 3:53:29 PM

Thanks for your input! I didn't know about the demo licenses, I'll make sure to try the room pack.

I ended up getting the Steinway D, but I'll probably add the 280VC to my collection eventually.

Kind regards
Niklas

15.Expression Maps for Synchron Woodwinds 12/26/2021 3:24:01 PM

Hi Paul,

Thanks, much appreciated. That will complete my Synchron Template. Until you release Synchron Solo Violins, Synchron Choirs, Synchron Con Sordino Strings and whatever else you've got planned at least. :)

Happy holidays
Niklas

16.Expression Maps for Synchron Woodwinds 12/26/2021 9:25:16 AM

Hi,

Are there any plans to release expression maps for Synchron Woodwinds, and if so, roughly when will these be available?

Kind regards
Niklas

17.NEW Synchron Harp - A harp unlike any you've heard before! 12/23/2021 6:55:40 PM

Congratulations on another brilliant release. The harp sounds magnificent, and the pedal mode is brilliant.

Any ETA on an update for VE Pro including the ability to insert the new harp player?

Merry christmas

18.Pianos - which one to get 12/22/2021 9:56:30 AM

Hello,

I'm looking to complete my Synchron (standard) Orchestra with one of the synchron pianos available, but can't decide on which one to get. I do own the Vienna Imperial, so I'm thinking the Bösendorfer Imperial is probably not the best option. Any suggestions? Or perhaps I should get the Synchron Stage roompack for MIR Pro?

Thanks in advance

19.Low volume on Synchron libraries 12/20/2021 6:38:19 PM

I'm not sure whether by design or not, but for me only the room mics are activated by default. I'm using the standard library. If you haven't tried it already, load the default mixer preset (or any other of your choice). This gives quite a boost to the volume. I've always found it odd that the defaullt mixer preset is not, well, loaded by default. :)

20.Problem With Synchron Brass and cubase 12/18/2021 11:13:51 AM

Hi, I'm using Windows 10, Cubase 11 pro and VE Pro as well. I haven't actually used Synchron brass yet; I'm currently designing a synchron template and will probably finish setting up the brass today. Will try to reproduce this when done.

Does the problem occur with all patches, or only specific ones? Does it happen loading the synchron player directly in Cubase as well as using VE Pro?

Kind regards
Niklas

21.MISSION COMPLETED: Moving from eLicenser to iLok 11/18/2021 9:34:26 AM

With VSL, I'll either have to be online 24/7 or still carry a bloody dongle around...I don't mind on my desktop but with my new Mac M1 it would be so nice to be dongle free!

I agree, Steinbergs upcoming licensing system seems superior to the ilok from a customer point of view. Still, ilok is pretty flexible compared to the e-licenser, and I assume ilok offers greater protection against piracy. My DAW is always connected to the internet, so I will probably opt for the cloud solution to get rid of all my dogles once and for all. I hate dongles marginally less than I love VSL's software and sample libraries. :)

23.NEW: Synchron Elite Strings - Beyond Awesome 4/11/2021 8:01:54 AM

Hi,

Will there be more video demonstrations available before the introductory offer expires? I'm particularly interested in the attack and release options and the agile legato.

Kind regards
Niklas

24.Syncron Strings Pro Yay!!! what next? 10/11/2020 12:49:27 PM

I'm not tempted to spend money on the synchronized series of instrument. However, if/when Synchron Brass and Woodwinds - matching the level of Synchron Strings Pro - are released, what can I say other than "shut up and take my money please". :)

25."Synchron Library Installer" is ridiculously, brokenly slow 10/11/2020 12:42:25 PM

Ben,

I purchased Synchron Strings Pro a couple of days ago, and I am really blown away by this library. At the current discounted price, it's almost a steal considering the quality and flexibility VSL has achieved. It's by far the most flexible, playable and natural sounding of all my string libraries. and I can't recommend it enough.

I understand your frustration not being able to install the library you payed good money for. I would advice you to give the support team a chance to work it out though. In my humble experience, VSL has both the best software on the market with regards to stability and optimization, and a technical support that is competent and helpful. I'm sure they will be able to help you out if you give them some time!

Just my two cents.

Best regards
Niklas
