The title pretty much says it all. Since upgrading my Synchron Player to the AS version (and the subsequent releases), I have had a flurry of pops/clicks when more than five instruments are playing at the same time.

When I reverted back to the last Intel version, problem gone. I have upgraded twice and reverted twice to confirm that indeed the sole culprit is Synchron Player AS. I also tried completely uninstalling Synchron Player before upgrading to ensure that any conflicting files be purged.

NOTE 1: I'm running Digital Performer 11.21 on a Mac Studio Ultra w/ 64GB RAM with samples on a fast SSD (500 MB/s speed according to VSL's tool). Running 20 tracks (with each Instance containing a number of instruments) in Vienna Ensemble Pro (Server) makes my system barely break a sweat.

NOTE: 2: I am currently running Synchron Pianos AS and Mir 3D AS and they are behaving themselves.

I am puzzled/frustrated that after spending €395 on the MIRx bundle there is no upgrade discount to MIR (and/or Rooms) itself.

I cannot be the only composer who has fully upgraded from VI to Synchron which means the MIRx modules do no more than gather dust.

Even if there were an upgrade discount just on the MIR Synchron Stage Room, it would make heaps of sense in this context.

Never mind my previous post. I don't know why I get the error pop-up, but I can ignore it now. I had thought that "remap" in the Articulation Maps window was the method of applying the new articulation. Oops! One has to choose "Set Articulation" in the Region menu instead.

Thank God I stumbled across Massimo Sammi's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe2Qr1kxzwQ

The map I was using is the stock one from the VSL downloads area: Cubase: Expression Maps Synchron Strings Pro v.1.0.  Now that I know how to work it, will consider the Cubase maps just released for DP11 by BabylonWaves.

Not working on an M1 mac, though. Even if you force DP11 to open in Rosetta mode (otherwise MAS and VST plug-ins will not load), trying to apply an Articulation Map to an instrument via Synchron Player generates a pop-up: "This articulation is too complicated to perform." By the way, these are the VSL maps (cubase format imported into DP11) for Synchron Brass and Strings Pro that I was testing with.
