Thanks for the response. I guess at this point it will be more likely an upgrade to 7.0 :) I definitely hope to see it happen.

When I open Vienna MIR Pro 5.4 (standalone) it shows a message that version 6.0 of Vienna Instruments and Vienna Ensemble is available. When using MIR in VE 6.0 it is High DPI and it looks very nice.

However, this update does not update the standalone version of MIR. It still seems to be based on an old version of VE, which has the old GUI and is made for low DPI screens.

Can we expect standalone MIR to be updated to 6.0 as well?

I wish the libraries would get updates for known/reported issues like these. We could then always expect a certain quality level of VSL libraries. We can't edit the libraries ourselves after all, even if it's a small change.

If you or someone else has Synchron Percussion, is this a problem there at all?

My feedback is that it's nicely done work. ^-^

Can we expect this feature to become available for non-Synchron libraries at some point?

They said it might in the future, but it will take some work.

I tried it with Chamber Strings but I could hear no difference.

Good demo video. This shows the importance of new options like these for the library, and makes me excited for what the Synchron Player will be able to do with it.

This is very interesting indeed. :3

Way to make drama out of hearing some opinions different from your own.

Wanting others' opinions to be deleted if you don't like them is not at all constructive. Especially because some of the feedback here is useful and shouldn't be swept under the rug.

Many owners of this library do not seem happy with the legato transitions and that was expressed in this thread.

If it's really that unrepresentative then I think it shouldn't have been released yet.

MIR is excluded. I hope there will be another MIR Pro / Roompack discount soon though. Last time it even was 30% off, but I couldn't make use of it.

I'll be holding my vouchers in anticipation...

I was not talking about phaser pedals... You just seem out to pick a fight and don't make any effort to understand what I mean. I'll pass.

On-topic: I hope to hear more impressions of Synchron Strings users.

The phasing is what makes it sound like more instruments. With a single instrument, there is no phasing until you crossfade, then there is and it sounds like two instruments.

If you crossfade from one single sample to another single sample then the impact is the least. But if you don't take such care, you'll stay in between samples, meaning that most of the time you can hear more instruments playing than in the original samples. Of course this has impact on the sound, but like I said, it's a bigger problem with solo instruments.

Think of it like this:

When playing one sample of 8 violins, you hear 8 violins.

If you mix (crossfade) this by 50% with another sample of 8 violins, you hear a composite of 16 violins.

It's more apparent with crossfading solo strings (where you will suddenly hear 2 instruments when mixing two samples), however the same effect still applies to ensembles. It may not bother you, but it's hard to deny that it's an issue.

Don't we all? :p

That's not how a forum works. It's a place for discussion, not an echo chamber for whoever started the thread.

This might be something for the Synchron Player...

I hope what will be implemented is something similar to Steinberg Zero Downtime. It seems to work for them, right?

I wonder about this too.

There is this extension to Studio One that might be useful:

http://studioonex.narechk.net/index_en.html

jasen, here's a summary of the problem:

- If you lose the dongle VSL acts like it's physical property (like studio equipment) you should've insured.
- But physical property is something you can *always* resell, without anyone's permission.
- But they don't want you to do that, only by their grace you can sell your dongle *if* you pay them substantially. They say it's a license.
- But if it's a personal license, you should still have the license if you lose or break a dongle. But you don't. You have to pay either 50% or 20 euros per license.

VSL picks and chooses whether it's property or a license when it's convenient for them, which is the worst case scenario for costumers.

By the way, another discussion about this is held at http://vi-control.net/co...ened-to-vsl.60820/page-3

Sorry, VSL is not beyond criticism. As much as I agree that they do good work, that does not include their licensing system, and I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Please take my word that what you're noticing is mostly disappointment. I like a lot of VSL's product and am very close to purchasing MIR still, but I can't justify to put more money into something that can be gone the moment I lose a dongle, or I'd have to pay a lot per license for in case it breaks. All in the name of anti-piracy, at the cost of the legitimate customer.
