Ok, so here are the corresponding libraries : 

- Hollywood Strings Diamond = VI Appassionata Strings I (Full). If you also want the muted strings, take the whole bundle. (No divisi in this library)

- Hollywood Woodwinds Diamond = VI Woodwinds I (Full) and VI Woodwinds II (Full)

- Hollywood Brass Diamond = VI Brass I (Full) and VI Brass II (Full).

- Hollywood Percussion Diamond = VI Percussion (Full) or Synchron Percussion I (Standard). There is no equivalent to Stormdrum 2/3 in VSL's catalog.

- Hollywood Choirs = Vienna Choir (Full). There is no Wordbuilder in this library.

- Hollywood Solo Instruments Diamond = VI Harps (Full), VI Solo Violin 2, VI Solo Cello 2.

The Special Editions Complete Bundle include all these libraries but with less articulations. For example, there are no articulations like crescendos or diminuendos. Of course, you can crossfade between the different layers with the Velocity fader but for the solo instruments, the transition is not always very smooth. Hope it helps.

Best,

David

What is your budget ? It would be easier to help if I knew it. I was like you and moved from East West to VSL. I started with the Special Editions Bundle (VI) and upgraded to the complete collections over the years. Vienna Instruments and the Synchron Player are very similar. So, once you know one, it's easier to play with the other one. MIR Pro is an amazing software and you can combine it with other reverbs. 

So, here is my advice :

- If you don't have a lot of money, go with the Synchron-ized Special Editions.

- If you can afford it, go with MIR Pro and the VI Collections (or VI Special Editions)

Best,

David

Hi

The VI libraries are recorded at the Silent Stage. Since they are dry libraries, you need some additional reverb. The Synchron libraries are recorded with the ambience of the Synchron Stage. And the Synchron-ized libraries are based on the VI libraries (they use the same samples) but they are powered by the Synchron Player and include Synchron Stage IRs thanks to MIR Pro's technology. Hope it helps.

Best,

David

Don't worry about that. Dimension Brass is coming next month. The real question is : when will we get Dimension Woodwinds ?

How do you know?

A strong intuition. But maybe I'm wrong.

Hi

Thanks for the last update of VE Pro 7 and the new icons for the Synchron Player and the Synchron Pianos. That's very cool.

Best,

David

Hi

I guess it's the Teldex Scoring Stage. 

Hi

Open the Synchron Player in your DAW or in VE Pro. Click on the preferences settings icon. Click on "Database". Click on the "+" button. Select the folder where your library is located. Close the preferences settings and restart your DAW/VE Pro. It should work.

Installing the VSL Sync Library update "Cantabile Games," does not allow installation. The following error message is displayed; "Application 'Library Installer' caused the following error:

Please download and install the latest version of the 'eLicenser Control' from this web page:

How can this be corrected .....?

Did you install the latest updates of the Vienna Download Manager, the Synchron Player and the e-Licenser ?

Thank you so much for this update. The Legato patches are beautiful.

Hi Dietz

Thank you very much for your reply. Here is a screenshot. It does the same thing with ensemble instruments.

Kind regards,

David

Hi

I have a project in which I've loaded the Solo Flute 1 from the VI Series. In MIR Pro, I've entered "5 m" for the width of the instrument and it works fine. But when I open my project again (in Logic), the width of the Flute comes back to "2 m". Is it normal ?

Best,

David

Personally, I think that it would be a mistake to Synchronize everything. It would make MIR Pro and the VI Series obsolete. New libraries like Synchron Brass I or Synchron Woodwinds I would be much more exciting than new Synchronized libraries.

I would like that too, as well as a keyboard shortcut.

Hi

Did you check your folder location in SY Player's settings ?

I really love the library. I hope there will be updates in the future with tons of new presets. As I'm really not an expert in sound design, they are very useful.

Best,

David. 

Hi. Herb already said that the Cantabile articulations would be available for the other sections in the future. 

Hi Paul

Thanks for your help. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

David

Hi Paul

I've just sent you the Logic file.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. I know that the intensity of the Marcato depends on the played velocity. But when I play very softly on my keyboard, the sound of the Marcato is yet very loud. It wasn't like that before.

Here is an audio example : VelXF is On and is at 64 and the Dim. Ctrl. A (Velocity) fader moves between 50 and 64.

David

Hi

I've installed the latest version of the Synchron Player and I've noticed that when I load the "04 Cellos-8 VelXF" preset from Synchron Strings I, the intensity of the marcato is always the same when I play with the Legato/Marcato patch. Whether I play softly or loudly, it doesn't change anything. It does the same thing with all the other strings sections. But it wasn't the case with the previous versions of the player. Am I doing something wrong ?

Best,

David

Yes. And Dimension Woodwinds would be nice too. And it's so great to see that VSL keeps creating new libraries for VI/VI Pro. I was afraid that they would abandon the VI Series.

The new Cantabile articulations are great. And Vienna Dimension Strings III is also very exciting! Thanks.

Best,

David

Yes!

Hi Thrawn

I would recommend to get the library from the VI series. The SYNCHRON-ized version is good, but to me, it doesn't compare to the original library. If you don't have the money, you can get the volume 3 from the Special Edition and upgrade later. I believe there is a special offer right now at Best Service. Hope it helps.
