1.I have to compose for 3 singers: mezzo-soprano, baritone and bass. 1/24/2023 5:23:12 PM

Hello Claude Marc!

It's good to read that things are going well for you.

We didn't record marcato attacks for the Solo Strings collection. SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition Vol. 1 includes layered marcato slots (sustain + staccato) for Solo Strings.

Best regards,
Andi

2.VEPro7 and soundsets 1/23/2023 11:10:33 AM

Hello Oceanview!

You can find a description on how to use multiple MIDI ports with Vienna Ensemble Pro and the VE Pro Event Input at the following link under "More than one Vienna Ensemble".

3.Adjust velocity sensitivity in Synchron-ized instruments? 1/22/2023 7:23:49 AM

That would be very annoying for both of us. :-)

Best,
Andi

4.Adjust velocity sensitivity in Synchron-ized instruments? 1/21/2023 10:04:15 AM

Hi Peter!

It would be possible, but so far you are the only one that requested such a feature and our to do list is pretty long. ;-)

Best,
Andi

5.Solo Strings 1 in Sibelius Ultimate issue 1/21/2023 9:41:45 AM

Hi Rob!

The message on your screenshot appears when you try to close Vienna Ensemble Service although a plugin is still connected. I recommend first closing Sibelius and then closing Vienna Ensemble Service.

I'm not sure what you want to save exactly.
Patches cannot be changed and not be saved.
You can save Vienna Instruments Pro presets under PRESET/Save.
You can save Vienna Ensemble projects under File/Save Project As.
You can save Sibelius playback configurations in the Sibelius Playback Devices menu.

Best regards,
Andi

6.Special Edition 1 plus 1+ vs. Solo Strings 1/20/2023 10:43:52 AM

Hello Res!

You could compare the "Content" pages of the product pages. There you can find detailed information on which articulations are included in every library.

Best regards,
Andi

7.Adjust velocity sensitivity in Synchron-ized instruments? 1/20/2023 10:39:52 AM

Hello Peter!

Synchron Player doesn't have an option to control the velocity curve. You might want to look for such an option on your keyboard.

It's correct that some patches with one dynamic layer (like sforzato in some libraries) have a fixed volume. If you want to control the volume of these patches with velocity, you could assign velocity as a controller to "Timbre Adjust". I would turn "Timbre Adjust" on for such notes and turn it off again afterwards. This can be done with CC18.

Best regards,
Andi

8.Solo Strings 1 in Sibelius Ultimate issue 1/20/2023 7:12:48 AM

Hello Rob!

Thanks for the screenshots.

I strongly recommend using Vienna Ensemble when working with Sibelius. It will make everything easier, because you only need to activate one playback device and can open the Vienna Instrument players inside. You can install Vienna Ensemble with the Vienna Assistant.

Furthermore I can see that you didn't load the correct VI presets. Our Sibelius sound sets can only work correctly when you load the according VI presets under PRESET => Sibelius. The VI presets for Solo Strings I (full) can be found under Sibelius/Strings 3.8/Solo Strings/SS I - extended

It shouldn't be necessary to set up anything on the "Preferred Sounds" page in your case.

Best regards,
Andi

9.Performance Trills in Synchron-ized Flute? 1/19/2023 4:10:24 PM

Hello Peter!

The SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds collection includes fast legatos, which is the same as performance trills. In addition it includes pre-recorded trill.

Best regards,
Andi

10.Solo Strings 1 in Sibelius Ultimate issue 1/19/2023 10:18:49 AM

Hello Rob!

Your problem can have different reasons. I would check out the troubleshooting chapter of our Sibelius Integration tutorial.

11.Synchron Woodwinds … all Solo Instruments - Legato Fast = wrong Mapping 1/17/2023 12:47:02 PM

Hello prodamu and Pixelpoet 1985!

If you go from D to C, you may in some cases hear a remnant from E that has been played before in the room microphones. It may sound to you like a D to E transition, but it is what remained in the room from the E that has been played earlier.

We have recorded fractions of scale runs for agile legato. They bring better results when performing runs, but may have side effects when playing other things like normal legatos or trills. Intervals bigger than 2nds have been slightly edited from the normal legato transitions.

For the Horn lyrical vibratos we recorded slow, lyrical transitions. So they are something completely different.

Best regards,
Andi

12.I have to compose for 3 singers: mezzo-soprano, baritone and bass. 1/14/2023 10:10:52 AM

Hello Claude Marc!

Usually all articulations that can be added with Dorico articulations are included in our expression maps. Articulations that need custom playing techniques and custom playback techniques (such as fast repetitions) are normally not inclued.

Portato is included. I don't remember if fp works with Dorico expression maps. If it does, it is included. If that's important to you, I can check on Monday.

Best regards,
Andi

13.I have to compose for 3 singers: mezzo-soprano, baritone and bass. 1/13/2023 3:12:28 PM

Hello Claude Marc!

The expression map "VSL SYzd Voices - So, Al, Te" works for mezzo soprano too and "VSL SYzd Voices - Bass" works for baritone too. In our expression maps you can always find information under Expression Map Data for which libraries/presets they work.

Our expression maps for SYzd Solo Strings include harmonics. I have just re-checked. They work fine here. I recommend writing artifical harmonics.

Add. Bass clarinet. A bass clarinet is included in SYzd Special Edition Vol. 1. So you already have it. I don't understand why you think that you have to purchase volume 1 PLUS to use it. And why do you think that the expression map for it is incomplete? What do you miss?

Best regards,
Andi

14.I have to compose for 3 singers: mezzo-soprano, baritone and bass. 1/13/2023 12:43:19 PM

Hello Claude Marc!

All three solo singers, that you have mentioned, load fine here with the Dorico playback template "VSL SYzd Voices".
Could it be that you have section players instead of single players in your score?

Best regards,
Andi

15.Percussion, Sibelius, and VI Series instruments 1/7/2023 8:56:56 AM

Hello Jeffrey!

The mallet options and rim hits you are looking for have not been recorded for the VI concert toms.

You might be interested in our Synchron Percussion series. "Synchron Drums I" includes concert toms with mallet options and rim hits.

Andi

16.Percussion, Sibelius, and VI Series instruments 1/5/2023 7:50:11 AM

Hello Jeffrey!

Happy new year to you too.

I have seen in our records that you have registered the VI Percussion collection. This collection can be used with the sound set "VE Percussion". All details on how to trigger the various instruments and articulations with Sibelius can be found here:
https://www.vsl.info/en/tutorials/guides/sibelius-integration/percussion

17.Dynamics in Prime with Dorico 1/2/2023 9:43:32 AM

Hi rowild!

A happy new year to you too.
Dynamic marks in Dorico control Velocity AND VelXF in Synchron Player. If you have VelXF turned off, the dynamic layers get chosen by velocity. If VelXF is turned on, the dynamic layers get chosen (and crossfaded) by the position of the VELXF fader.

As far as I know the dynamic lanes in Dorico are just an alternative to writing dynamic marks in the score.

Best regards,
Andi

18.Dynamics in Prime with Dorico 12/31/2022 8:54:15 AM

Hi Robert!

Great to read that you are making progress. I will forward your message, that you always have to log in anew on the website.

Best regards,
Andi

19.Dynamics in Prime with Dorico 12/30/2022 2:24:19 PM

Hi rowild!

If you work with Dorico, you don't have to assign the CCs to your keyboard. You can simply draw lines in Dorico to automate CC11.

On rewatching your video it seems to me that your "dynamics" curve doesn't go all the way up. Maybe you don't reach the loudest samples.

Anyway, I don't think that it is particularly hard to use the dynamic range of our samples. In most cases you shouldn't have to touch anything. If you want to edit something, you can do so.

Best regards,
Andi

20.Dynamics in Prime with Dorico 12/30/2022 9:19:50 AM

Hello rowild!

I can hear in your example that crescendo is working as expected. Please note that oboes don't have a gigantic dynamic range. You can always enhance this range by additionally automating CC11 in a controller lane.
If you always want to enhance the range of an instrument, you can do so by controlling the expression fader and the VelXF fader with the same controller (CC1 with Synchron Prime Edition). In order to avoid a completely exaggerated dynamic range, I would limit the effect for the expression fader. This can be done on the CONTROL page of Synchron Player (see screenshot).

Best regards,
Andi

21.[SOLVED] SY Prime Dorico Template: no untuned precussions defined 12/26/2022 8:11:13 AM

Hello rowild!

Depending on your Synchron Player settings, some or all articulations only get loaded to RAM, when they first get triggered. As a consequence some notes will not be audible at first playback. You have the following options.

- When you save you project and reload it the next time, all articulations that have already been triggered the last time, will be loaded instantly and play back instantly.

- With the Synchron Player option "Force enable all slots", you can always load all patches of your presets to RAM. This way all articulations will always be played instantly. Turning this option on will need more RAM. Here is the entry in the manual.

Andi

22.Port Error using Finale 27 12/23/2022 9:09:28 AM

Hello Mark!

I hope you don't mind that I answer the question that you have directed at Bill.
Yes, you can run 8 banks with 16 channels each in Finale with VE Pro. Normally it shouldn't be necessary to enter a server address. Just make sure that you start Vienna Ensemble Pro Server before you open the Vienna Ensemble Pro plugin interface. Then the open server should be offered to you in the plugin interface and you can select it by clicking it.

Best regards,
Andi

23.Port Error using Finale 27 12/21/2022 2:55:09 PM

Hello Mark!

In order to be better able to help, we would need some more information.

- Which application gives you this error?

- What does the error message say exactly?

- What did you do exactly that triggers this error message?

- Can you share a screenshot?

Best regards,
Andi

24.Dynamics in Dorico Xmaps 12/21/2022 7:12:12 AM

Hello Steve!

That's right, you can turn VelXF on and off with CC28.

Best,
Andi

25.Dynamics in Dorico Xmaps 12/20/2022 10:34:20 AM

Hello Steve!

Most of our Dorico Expression Maps are prepared to work with the Velocity presets. The controller for VelXF is set to CC2 there. I recommend laoding these presets. Then you don't have to change anything.

Best regards,
Andi
