Hi everyone!

I have a beta build ready that should fix this issue. Please PM me if you have this issue with the last release, I'll send you the download link.

Many thanks and all Best,
Ben

Thanks for the offer to help - we'll come back to it as soon as as possible :)

Hi,

You can always see what was updated in the changelog:

https://www.vsl.info/manuals/changelogs/synchron-piano-player#v111518---august-7th-2020

Best, Ben

Additional communication and driver.
It might be different for AMD CPUs, have not tested the performance difference with these yet.

Hi,

In most cases an additional graphics card would decrease performance a little bit, especially with lower latencies.

Best, Ben

Hi,

This depends on the Series.
For our classic VI libraries you will get additional articulations with the "Full Library".
For our Synchron Libraries you will get additional mic-positions. All articulations are included in the Standard Library as well.

Best, Ben

If you use Cubase there are Expression Maps available here. 

Personally I like to work with keyswitches :)

Hi Michael,

Yes, this is possible! Just set the keyswitches to an Dimension Controller like described here: https://www.vsl.info/manuals/synchron-player/dimension-tree-view#dimensions

Then you can change the CC below the dimension view, or in the CONTROL view. In the CONTROL view you can also set a curve and other behaviour changes.

I recommend to not use the Dimension Controller A and B, because these are often already used for different parameter changes in the default presets. Make sure to also use different Dimension Controller for the different dimensions :)

Best, Ben

A few years ago this might be a reasonable solution, but these days I would not go for these old servers, especially since they are not that good of a value any more. You can build yourself a server pretty easy based on Ryzen/Threadripper CPUs, or look for more recent used hardware/servers.

Hi,

Please install the latest update of the Synchron Player. This should solve this issue.

Best, Ben

Hi,

As stated on the product page and as I mentioned in the announcement thread: BBO P and Q contain selected isntruments and articulations from Synchron Percussion I and II. If you already own these there is nothing new in these BBO libraries and no reason to get these.

Best, Ben

Please contact us via and add the exact version number of the DAW, MIR Pro as well as the operating system.

Of course I have looked into your file. And I've talked with my colleagues about this. As said, there are other articulations better suited for fast playing. Especially the first note has a longer fade in until the final volume is reached.

Hi,

> I can't seem to find what is the different between special edition and like "normal" version 
The Special Editions are taken from the VI libraries with reduced repetition counts and velocity layers, for a resource friendly and affordable price.

> And the synchron versus non synchron 
The Synchron libraries were recorded with multiple mics in the Synchron Stage Vienna in place with the natural reverb of the stage.
The VI series was recorded in the Silent Stage and is dry without noticable reverb.
The SYNCHRON-ized libraries are re-edited instruments from the VI series, configured to blend with the Synchron libraries out of the box.

>  VI instrument pro
Vienna Instruments PRO is a sample player, an advanced version of the Vienna Instruments player. It adds many features to further tweak and optimize the sound of the VI instruments. It does not contain any libraries!
It does not work with Synchron, SYNCHRON-ized, Big Bang Orchestra, Smart Series libraries. For these libraries we developed our new Synchron Player which includes most features of the Vienna Instruments Pro for free.

If you start with virtual instruments / VSL I would suggest to go with the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions, which are currently in sale and also available as 30 days demos. And of course the free BBO is something you should get.

Best, Ben

Hi,

You might want to check your inbox on VI-Control as I've already answered your question.
In short: It's not an issue, the used articulations are not made for fast phrases and repetitions. There are other articulations that work better in such a context.

Best, Ben

In the manual you'll find a video playlist embedded. The video 17 "Basic Editing" will guide you through the process.

Hi,

You will find more information here in the manual: https://www.vsl.info/manuals/vienna-instruments-pro/app-sequencer

Best, Ben

Hi,

In most orchestras you will find the French Oboe, but depending on context the Viennese Oboe will merge better with the sound of the orchestra.

You will find more information on the differences here: https://www.vsl.co.at/Woodwinds/Oboe

Best, Ben

Hi,

We had to fix a serious bug in that version, but you should not get worse performance because of that (should in fact be a little better now).
Have you altered the streaming settings? If so please change the settings back to the default values -> Settings -> Engine:

- Streaming Threads: 4
- Loading Threads: 4

Best, Ben

You are using the Audio Input plugin, correct? If so make sure ASIO Guard is disabled for this plugin as well!

Hi,

Please disable ASIO-Guard for all VEP plugins in Cubase' plugin-manager:
