No, the VEP versions must be the same.

Hi,

The Samsung T5 is usually preformatted with (ex)FAT. This is known for its bad performance on heavy loads.
You can fix this issue by re-formatting the drive to NTFS (Windows) or APFS (MacOS). Please be aware that formatting will delete all files on the drive!

Hi,

Could you please send us the VEP projects and the steps to reproducs it to ?
Please also include the used VEP and Synchron Player version number, and it would be great to have a short clip to see the issue in action.
Thanks!

Hi,

No specific reason. Everyone uses the DAW he likes most (to my knowledge these are Logic and Cubase so far).

Hi!

Excluding Ymir (because it's not ready yet) it's around 490 GB installed on disk (download size is approx. 30-40% of that).

Best, Ben

For this use-case I would suggest a setup like you can see in the free BBO's Marcato slot. Here is how you can achieve a similar setup with the woodwinds:

- Right click and copy the short note slot you want to layer
- Klick on the right side of the longs slot's arrow. This will move the articulation to a new dimension
- add a slot and right click insert the short
- Enable stacked mode
- Set a dimension controller that is not used yet for something else like vibrato control
- Set the dimension control to a CC of your choice (or even to note velocity - great if you want to use VelXF and control the volume of the attack by note-velocity)
- Select the longs slot, go to Edit -> Options -> Set Parallel Mode to Mix.

Done :)

Hi,

It's the same setup like for crossfading (activate stacking), except you don't need a controller for the dimension and you have to set the "Parallel Mode" under EDIT for each slot to "Mix" instead of XFade.

You can also combine both modes and add a controller - some Marcato patches do this, so you can control the volume of the attack.

Hi Danika,

We have started to test our software on Big Sur, but we recommend to wait with the upgrade until further notice.

Great to hear, have fun!

Hi SC,

It sounds to me that your system is not able to handle your project because you have not enough RAM installed.
I strongly suggest to get at least 32 GB RAM if you are running such big projects.

Also check that the RAM's speed matches your CPU (you can find the optimal speed in reviews and tests about your CPU). Ryzen CPUs are known to only show their full potential at the correct RAM speed.

Btw, Cubase 11 was just released and also includes optimisations for CPUs with more then 8 cores (still, this will not improve your current problem unless you get enough memory).

Best, Ben

Hi Mat,

It's really hard to give straight forward hardware recommendations, because there are multiple parts that will influence performance.
For example a HDD is too slow for Synchron and BBO products, a SSD is great, but with an NVMe SSD you can lower RAM and CPU usage.
Also it really depends on how many mics you want to use at the same time.

I have a desktop i5 with 6 cores and I can use these pianos perfectly. My notebook has a pretty limited i5 with 4 cores, but I'm still able to use 2, maybe 3 mic positions at the same time, if I'm not doing anything else.

"Why is it so? [...] What are Synchron Pianos doing that other libraries don't?"
- Immense amount of velocity layers (up to ~80)
- simulating half-pedaling
- advanced note-release technology, which selects the correct release sample depending on the initial velocity and the time until the key is released. It's like magic, but better - it's real! ;-)
- the notes are recorded playing to the end, no early note-cutoff

Hi,

These processors were just released, and it includes quite some changes in its architecture.
This makes it impossible to say something about these until we got our hands on these.

I tried to get one of these myself, but they sold out too quick :)
As soon as I can get one I'll test our software in combination with it and let you know!

Best, Ben

Hi Cyril,

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
We are already on it :)

Best, Ben

Hi,

Double check the mapping in the "Ctrl Map" section of the player. You should see what CC is mapped to this controller (default: CC11).

Best, Ben

Hi,

1. It's not really usefull in combination with a DAW. But you can use it for live music or testing.

2. Make sure you are running the 64-bit version of VEP. The Synchron Player is not available as 32-bit variant.

Best, Ben

Hi!

Please send a request to including a screenshot of the error message. Thanks.

It's exactly the same, so it should not sound differently.

If you are not 100% sure if you need more articulations go for the BBO package and upgrade later if you feel the need for more. That's the great thing about this BBO package (and you can get BBO: S with the money saved) :)

Hi,

VI libraries are updated via the Directory Manager. Simply open it and drag the zip file into it.

There are no changelogs available for the VI instruments.

Hi Alfred,

The only difference is the number of articulations included (more then double for the Synchron FX Strings I).
You can compare the available articulations here:

Hi,

Yes, this is normal.
We've noticed that many users did not know if Vel.XF was enabled or not.

If you move the VelXF fader without VelXF being activated, the on/off switch will start to blink, so you don't miss turing it on when in use.

Best, Ben

Except number of mics everything else is identical.
