Apart from having to get just the one Harp in the Starter Series Special Edition Vol. 1...

Thanks--

Great, thanks--

Thanks so much Paul, got it--

Hopefully you guys do the Harps soon in full detail.

And does the SYC-Solo Strings full edition include the new Violin 2 and new Cello 2? Can't tell from the sample content. 

Thanks--

Is getting the Synchron-ized STARTER EDITIONS the only way to get things such as Synchron-ized Harp, Bass Flute, Historic Instruments, etc?

Also, I just got the Synchron-ized Woodwinds, but now see that many of these instruments are also in the Synchron-ized STARTER EDITION Vol. 1. More info on this please.

Thanks Paul. I'm trying to reproducec this with a blank session with only a few instances of Synchron Violins 1>Soft>Legato>Canabile>Light vib. So far in this session there are no problems. I'll continue to inveestigate.

To answer you questions, I'm on Pro Tools 2020.5.0 and Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, both the latest versions. Hardware is an Avid MTRX interface, and Synchron is instantiated directly onto a Pro Tools instrument track, not using VE Pro.

If I can get a sample. I'll send.

Thanks again!

Have had this issue since the beginning with Synchron Strings in Pro Tools:

Instantiate an instance, record a performance, and everything plays normally.

Then after about 20 minutes, Synchron Strings will play only the first second of the line you reoorded, and then it goes silent. It sounds like some controller is pulling the volume all the way down quickly. But that's not what's causing the problem.

I've dealt with this for the last year by rendering the MIDI to audio. I think this mainly happens with the legato presets but I'm not sure.

Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks--

Paul - I kow you said Synchron Player time-stretching is not recommended right now for legato presets, but I did try it anyway with Synchron Strings and allows us to vary the speed of the legato transitions. It makes the library so much more useful, customizable, and therefore expressive. Here's hoping you find a way to get this to work in the legato presets.

Thanks--

Using Cantabile Strings in Pro Tools 2019.6. After loading 3 or 4 presets and working for about 30 minutes, the perfomance gets truncated as if the envelope release time is zero, but it's actually overloading the processor. The processor overload light in Synchron Player flashes red whenever a note is played. Is this a bug? Restart the computer and all is well, but only for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Same probem. Everything up to date, but says could not initialize eLicenser. 

 

Update: got it to install by booting the Libraryy Installer app and manually installing it rather than the auto-install that wasn't working in the Download Manager.

Hi Paul - any clarity on whether the rest of the Cantabile sections are in the works? Hope so...

Could really use a master volume control in Synchron Player, ala Kontakt. It's possible to boost the output level by as much as 36db in Kontakt's Master Editor. I often need to put trim plug-ins after Synchron player to boost levels. Thanks.

Love the Cantabile Violins! This is what I was hoping for the first time around with Synchron.

Please complete the series with the viola, celli, etc. I think you have a hit here.

Paul, I figured it out. Although I had download and installed the new Download Manager, the old one was still hiding in my Vienna Instruments Pro folder. As soon as I replaced it with the new one, everything worked. Thanks so much!

I most definitely updated the Download Manager before downloading and trying to install. Not working.

Same here, and installation is not allowed. See pic:

Thanks again Muziksculp! Just FYI, I hadn't used the Stretch function since trying it on Dimension Strings a long while back, but just it tried on Synchron Strings (using the stock PortoSlow preset) and the results are very good. It slows the transition just a little and helps add some expressiveness.

Hi Muziksculp - thanks so much for the compliment! (Yes, that is me.) 
 
Almost all the time I use live strings, but sometimes the samples I write with end up in the final score, depending on the cue. I’ve used VSL libraries since day one, and still use many of their instruments over newer stuff from other libraries. 
 
I really like the sound of the Synchron soft legato presets, and would be thrilled if the legato transitions were a little slower, and maybe a little more prominent, somewhere in-between slur and regular. As is, it’s a little on the clinical side for some pieces, but I’ve already used SS on a number of mockups, and in the right cue, they can sound great. In addition to using Blur, what I’m doing in the meantime to create the illusion of a slower legato transition is setting up a multi with two layers, Leg-Soft-LyV (X) Leg-slur-LyV, with a Slot Crossfade between them, and somewhere in the middle setting the perception is of a slower crossfade. Not ideal, but it’s a workaround for me. I could also slow the transitions down using the Stretch function, but would rather not do that as it creates other issues. Looking forward to using the Sychron Player.

They may have done all they can with the legato with the addition of the blur function, so I'm not hopeful the player will bring anything new to the table re legato. Plus the transitions are already in the can as is.

 

All good, but Paul has stated a few posts earlier that the Legato System will stay the same for Synchron Player. That's the main thing I'd like to see improved.

I had given up on it, but tried it today without problems.

I can't install the 2nd violins. After updating everything possible (library installer, elicenser, VI Pro, etc.), I keep getting this message: A newer version of the Library Installer is need to install this package. Any help appreciated.

Easily the best legato I've ever heard from a string sample library. 

No Lars––I love the answer! It didn't sound like legato presets to me, and if they were, I wouldn't have believed it and would have been disappointed. VSL put legato on the map, so I know whatever they have in store for Sychron Strings legato will be outstanding. I remember back to when I first heard their legato flute in some house in Hollywood a very long time ago, and was so blown away! I already ordered the strings days ago, and am looking forward to a Christmas surprise. Thanks so much.
