No problem. Also, I forgot to say something : once you have installed the new cellos, DO NOT install the 2019.03.25 library update again. The cellos would'nt work. If you ever need to reinstall the whole library, do as follows :

1. Download and install the violins, violas and basses.
2. Download and install the 2019.03.25 library update.
3. Download and install the cellos. They are already updated.

Oh yes, sorry. I meant cellos.dat files. Delete all the cellos.dat files and install the new cellos.

I would recommend to do it again, unless the new cellos.cab files are installed in a separate folder. If that's the case, you just have to delete the old cellos.cab files and rescan your existing folders in the Directory Manager.

You have to delete the "old" cellos.cab files and download and install the new files to replace them.

I recommend the VI Chamber Strings. It's a wonderful library. In the SYNCHRON-ized library, the sustain and legato articulations are beautiful, especially the soft legato patch, but the short notes (staccato and spiccato) sound synthy to me, especially for the violins. It sounds like they cut too much attack during the editing. Just my opinion.

You won't like my answer : get both! They are great libraries. 

DS - pros

• Great sound
• Divisi
• Very agile

DS : cons

• There are no cons

AS : pros

• Great cinematic sound
• Lush
• Tons of legato techniques

AS : cons

• No legato for the basses

So, I guess it depends on the music you want to create.

Hi Paul,

I have the exact same "eLicenser POS Error Messages" when I try to install Vi libraries updates (for example VI Dimension Brass I ext). I've installed the last VI Pro (Retina) and eLicenser versions. I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.3. 

BTW, BBO Dorado and Eridanus are awesome!!

Best,

David

Hello

I've installed the last VI Pro version (Retina) and when I try to update VI libraries (for example Dimension Brass I ext) I get this message : "eLicenser POS Error Message : File Synsoacc.bundle does not have the expected interface" and after that the updating fails. I didn't forget to plug in my Vienna Key and I've installed the latest eLicenser version. Has anyone else had this problem ? I'm working on macOS Catalina 10.15.3.

Best,

David

I hope there will be percussion in the next galaxy.

YES!!! Thanks for that! I miss the time when VSL released ambitious products like Dimension Strings. And the SYNCHRON-ized series doesn't make any sense to me. It makes me crazy that they waste their time synchron-izing libraries that already exist instead of creating new products. VSL has been promising us the MIRx Synchron Stage for years and we're still waiting. I'm disappointed.

Four new libraries in one month! VSL is on fire!

So, nobody has this problem ?

Hi Ben

Thanks for the reply. Then I guess I have to get used to it...

Hi

Why did VSL create the Synchron Series if the only purpose is to SYNCHRON-ize products that already exist ? Paul once said that only a few VI libraries would be SYNCHRON-ized but it looks like you’re SYNCHRON-izing everything. And now, there are much more SYNCHRON-ized products than Synchron libraries. It’s been two years since Synchron Strings I came out and there are still no signs of Synchron Brass I or Synchron Woodwinds I. I’m not criticizing the quality of the samples. I’ve always been very happy with VSL’s products. But I don’t understand where this is going.

Best,

David

You're very lucky LAJ. You've been asking for FX Strings for years and they finally came out last year. And now BBO Andromeda. Could you ask for Synchron Solo Strings or Synchron Chamber Strings for me ? Thanks.

David

Hi

I've installed the last update for Dimension Strings I and when I load the matrix "02P VC-All-RE-L2-Art-Combi", it seems that for some patches like Legato, Portamento or Sustain, all the players are panned at the center. For other patches like Staccato or Detache, they are correctly panned. Has anyone noticed that too or am I missing something ? It doesn't do that with the update for DS II.

Best,

David

Hi Paul

Will there be expansion packs for Vienna Smart Spheres as well ? It would be cool!

Best,

David

Yes, Synchron Brass I would be nice. Here is my wish list :

1. Synchron Brass I
2. Synchron Strings II (Chamber)
3. Synchron Solo Violin & Cello (one can always dream)
4. VI Children Choir
5. VI Dimension Woodwinds I
6. Synchron Strings I new update (with portamento, harmonics and detache articulations)
7. Synchron Epic Percussion

The thing I don't understand is why they keep synchronizing VI libraries instead of completing the new orchestra they've started to build with Synchron Strings I and Synchron Percussion I. Those two and the 3 pianos are great libraries and I hope Synchron Brass I and Synchron Woodwinds I will be available some day.

Best,

David

I wish they had never moved to the Synchron Stage. Don't get me wrong, the libraries from the Synchron Series are really good, but the VI Series is so great... 

I hope you're right. It would be nice.

Best,

David

Hi

Do not hope too much. It will probably be a SYNCHRON-ized Brass library. I wish they had stayed with the VI Series and the Silent Stage. It was perfect.

I understand that. But why didn't you record woodwinds at the Synchron Stage like you did with Synchron Strings I ? I own the Woodwinds Complete Bundle from the VI Series and a new library recorded at the Synchron Stage with new samples would have been much more exciting for me than a SYNCHRON-ized library.

Best,

David

Thanks for your reply. I know that the SYNCHRON-ized libraries are based on the VI Series but what I meant is that I don't understand why you waste your time synchronizing libraries that already exist and that work with a great player (VI/VI Pro) instead of creating new libraries. And I say that with great respect for you because I think VSL has created amazing software and libraries over the years. But I really don't understand where the Synchron Series is going.

Best,

David

Hi

I don't understand. Does it mean that there won't be a Synchron Woodwinds I library ?

Best,

David
