Hi VSL,

during the use of the Synchronized SE version I wanted to add some room tone and just for that I needed to load MIR inside VEP.
I would like to see the room tone from MIR Pro RoomPack 6 in the Synchron Player as an "instrument", so we can add a player instance with "Room Tone" loaded in a DAW or VEP without the use of MIR Pro.

Hi Saxer,

simply put two articulations in the list of the player and activate the parallel mode (the little icon on the top right corner of the articulation dimension).

For dynamics to silence I would try using the volume automation of the player.

Hi Jonathan,

make sure you got the Synchronized verison of SE.
Update the eLicenser software as well as the Synchron player to the latest version.
Check in the eLicenser control panel, that it displays your license.

Hi Axel,

in the Mix-View you can turn off the IR of the Synchron-stage, or set the amount of Wet sound, just like in most IR reverb plugins.

There are also multiple presets you can choose from: Close, Classic and Distant.

Hi Sam,

high end audio interfaces have usually better driver. For example I had a Steinberg UR22 and upgraded it to an RME Fireface UFX II. After the upgrade the CPU load was half as high with lower buffer sizes. Also the latency was significant lower with the same buffer size. (I got the UFX because I planned to use it sometimes for recording, but you will get the same low CPU load and latency benefits with a cheaper model like the RME Babyface or the Digiface USB if you are working only with Midi. There are also other devices but I have no experience with them.)

If you are using only one intrument per instence, make sure the thread setting in VEP is set to 1.

Hi,

if I remember correctly these "non-musical" sounds are in the transition samples (legato, eg.).
If you don't want them use the sustained sound (there is a auto-sustained that simulates legato transitions).
For string instruments there are EQ-presets in the VEP7 EQ (or the Vienna Suite) called "Resonance Menu". They help you to filter resoncanes and bow noise out of the instrument.

Imo: I like the instrument noise in the samples (especially with the flutes), because it gives a natural touch to the music. Real players can't always avoid these noises, so why should I remove them from my music?

Synchron instruments are recorded wet (Synchron Strings, Synchron Pianos, Synchron Percussion). All other instruments (called "Synchronized") are the same recordings as the dry librarys, but remastered and with added presets containing pre-set reverb, eq, panning and volume. You can alter, enable or disable these fx in the player.

Hi Sam,

it is a system wide limitation, even when using the VST and the VEP version side by side you are only able to put 24 instruments into MIR.

Hi Paul,

go for the SSD, it's such a better experience then a HDD.

Hi Martin,

here is a comparison table between these CPUs: https://cpu.userbenchmar...yzen-TR-1950X/4028vs3932

In short: You will likly get better performance and much better system latency with the Intel i9 9900k.

But I would wait a few weeks for reviews on AMDs next generation CPUs. They are already announced and will hit the market soon. AMD claims that the single core performance will be on par with Intel CPUs. (Intels new generation should also hit the market soon, but they start with mobile CPUs, so it will take some time until their new desktop generation is available.)

Thanks for the advice, will try. Still would be nice to have the matching IR for all strings in this seating :)

Hi Eric,

I prefere using keyswitches, and I have the impression that here in the forum most peoaple are using them. For orchestral work this helps you to write music that could be played with a real orchestra. Also way less tracks (some VSL instruments have over hundred different articulations). Therefore I try to keep my key-switches consistent over all instruments, that helps remembering them.

But others like the other approach more, and it is sometimes less limiting when writing music like epic music stuff, sound-design e.g.

If you write music that should be played by a real orchestra I would recommend KS. But other then that use what makes you comfortable.

Hi Paul,

I would really like a preset with a classical seating where the violin 2 is on the opposite side.
That is the only thing I miss in the Synchronized verions.

Thanks for these great libraries. I really like the Synchronized SE: they sound so natural and well balanced.
Finally the brass sounds great in my mix; they have a better out-of-the-box sound then my mixed versions with the "old" libraries.
And Synchron percussion! This should be highlighted more, they are awsome!

Hi,

have you updated the Synchron player to the latest version?

Best, Ben

Hi,

no it does not contain different mic possitions except the instruments that were recorded in the Synchron Stage (Synchron Percussion, Synchron Piano). For the Synchronized instruments: they are recorded dry, but you will get an unique IR for each instrument.

Best, Ben

Hi Henning,

have you updated the Synchron player to the latest version?

Best, Ben

Hi Mike,

there will be a soundset, they are working on it. But it is not ready yet.

Synchron is a stage with grat acoustics. The Synchron instruments were sampled in this stage, the Synchronized instruments are remastered versions of the traditional Vienna Instruments packed in a new player with some nice features and a matching Impulse-Response from the Synchron stage.
The Synchron instruments are ready to use instruments: The volume between the instruments is matched as well as the position in the room + reverb. The concept is similar to the MIRx mode in VI.

Playback in Sibelius should be the same as with the VI player.

Best, Ben

Hi Rob,

you need to downlaod and isntall the Synchron Piano Player. The Piano does not appear in the regular player but only in the piano player.

Best, Ben

Hi,

until you find a solution, here is a workaround so you can continue working with VEP:
Enter the connection details manually. For IP-address enter 127.0.0.1, in instance name enter the name of the instance you want to connect, then press connect. Now it should be connected.
