I hope they took the time to vote for the Children's Choir for BBO: Ymir.

Me too! It would be VSL's first children choir after all those years. I hope it will win. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for your help Dietz. I'll do that.

Hi Dietz

Thanks for your reply. The weird thing is that most of the time, it works properly and I can choose a character, but sometimes it doesn't and there is that graphic bug. If you want to try to reproduce that, enable the "Auto add MIR Pro" icon and add a VI Pro instance (and then an instrument) with the key commands. That's the only thing I do. I've checked my VE Pro status and it says it's connected to Logic. I will reinstall VE Pro and MIR Pro and I'll let you know if it changes anything. Here is a screenshot of my VE Pro template in case you notice anything wrong. Thanks again.

Best, David

Hi

Sometimes, when I load an instrument from the VI Series in MIR Pro (via VE Pro 7), there is a graphic bug and I can't choose a character from the list. Is there a way to fix this without having to delete the track and create a new one? 

Best, David

Hi

I guess it could give you crossgrade price advantages to future Synchron-ized releases, but not Synchron. Those are two different product lines.

Best, David

Hi

Thank you for the free BBO: Zodiac. The library is awesome!

Best, David

Hi

I also have this problem. I use Logic Pro 10.6.0

Best, David

I hope everyone is safe. My thoughts to all the people in Vienna.

Best, David

Hi

You can open your MIR Pro settings in each new instance of VE Pro.

Best, David

Hello Paul

I've purchased BBO Solaris and I just wanted to let you know that the license on my Vienna Key is called BBO Sirius (I've installed the last eLicenser Software update). But the library works perfectly well and I can load the instruments.

Best, David

Hi

Here is what Paul said about the Brass a few months ago : "Announce when it's ready, and everyone will be happy!" So, it looks like they're working on it.

Best, David

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply!

Best, David

Hi

Will the Delay from the Synchron Player be included in the Vienna Suite Pro in the future? It would be great!

Sorry, I meant the notes from C2 to D#2 (the lowest notes of the Cellos section). Here is an audio example with regular vibrato (with the harsh notes) and molto vibrato.

Best, David

Hi

I bought the library today and I really love it. I have one question though. For the Cellos legato patch (regular vibrato), the notes from C1 to D#1 sound very harsh compared to the other ones. It sounds like the tone is different. I don't have this problem with the molto vibrato legato patch or the one from Synchron Strings I. Has anyone noticed that too? Thanks! Great library!

Hi

The number of velocity layers is described precisely for each articulation in the manual of the library.

Well, for example, there are much more dynamic layers in SyS I. So, it's very useful for very expressive passages. And I really love the soft sustain and legato patches. So, I think I'll still use them. As I said, I don't have SyS Pro yet, but I'll tell you more when I get the library. And as another example, even though I own SYNCHRON-ized Chamber Strings, I still use VI Chamber Strings I. Both libraries bring something different. I guess it will be the same thing with SyS I and SyS Pro.

Hi, I don't want to interfere in the discussion about the money, but there is one thing I have to say: it is not true that nobody will use Synchron Strings 1 anymore. There are people (I can't say how much, I can't count them of course), who appreciate all the good things of Synchron Strings 1 and use it with pleasure (and I'm one of them). 

I totally agree. I love Synchron Strings I. I don't have SyS Pro yet, but I'm sure I'll keep using both in the future.

I'll just add this one thing: €145 for the owners of the first iteration feels steep. It's certainly the most expensive library update—the way I honestly see it—I've had to consider. If Synchron Strings I had proven practical, Synchron Strings Pro wouldn't have been released. I feel it should be offered for less to those who originally paid for a library that they will not use again, which certainly is my case.

Keep up the great work

But apart from some articulations like pizzicato, it's a new library. So, paying half the price for this library is a good deal IMO. And VSL has offered free updates (Cantabile) for Synchron Strings I.

Synchron Strings Pro is a fresh approach and also contains some articulations from Synchron Strings I, which makes it an independent product AND and upgrade/crossgrade from Synchron Strings I at the same time. 

You are correct about CC2, but that should be done with a click. Hope that's OK for you, we're trying to keep the preset list as lean as possible!

Best,
Paul

Oh, I see. Thank you Paul!

Best, David

Hi

May I ask why you didn't call it Synchron Strings II? Also, from what I understand, there are no more presets with Velocity XF assigned to CC 2 (for old users, like me ). Is it correct?

Congratulations!

Best, David

Wow! Thank you so much for that! The audio demos are fantastic!

Best, David

Hi

First, install VI Pro. Then, open the Directory Manager and add the folder which contains all your libraries. You don't need the Vienna Download Manager if you already have the libraries.

Does anybody know which are the differences between VI Dimension Strings and the Synchronized version? The web page for the product says that there were improvements, but I can't understand which ones (apart for adding the transposed second violins).

Paolo

I may be wrong, but I believe these improvements have also been applied to the VI Dimension Strings. If I remember correctly, the long notes like sustains and legatos have been re-edited.
