Much appreciated Andi!

Hey all!

I've searched up and down this forum, but I can't find any official word from the VSL team about there being Dorico integration for Synchron Strings I. There are EMs for the Elite Strings and Strings Pro, but not Strings I. Is this something in the pipeline, or should I go about it another way? Thank you!

Is the SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Brass part of this offer? I didn't see it on the list.

From what I know, the Room Mix mics is a good balance of all of the microphones available. But if you want to use all of them at one time, I don't think 16gb of RAM is going to be quite enough.

Thanks for the clarification, Andi! Much appreciated.

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but are there plans to create expression maps for the SYzed Dimension Brass for Dorico? I know the SE versions are already available, but I was just curious. Thanks everyone!

I know that in regards to the new Synchron Brass and Synchron Woodwinds, they both come with the respective BBO Libraries. So, yes, buying both the Synchron Woodwinds and the BBO Versions of the woodwinds would be redundant. 

Typically what happens is that if you already own the BBO libraries, there may be some discounts when purchasing the Synchron libraries. If you check out the "Info" tab on the product pages, it'll usually show what kind of discount you get towards the Synchron libraries! I hope this helps!

So I believe there are a couple of options available in regards to this. 

1. SYNCRHON-ized Special Edition Vol. 1 has the SE version of the harp available if you don't need much in regards to articulations/techniques and velocity layers. 
2. MIRx Synchron Stage for the VI version of the harp.
3. Placing the harp in the Synchron Stage in MIR Pro/24. 

I'd recommend taking advantage of the discounts of the Synchronized SE versions if you want to get started using the harp in a SYNCHRON-ized setting. But if you're still looking for the same playability from the VI version I'd say go with option 2 or 3. Cheers!

Hi all! 

So I've been messing around with the Synchron Brass some more, and I've been having some pretty nice success! Actually, just all of the VSL Synchron products have been absolutely stellar. So I decided to see how much I could push the libraries! Please enjoy the Opening from the musical "Wicked".

This is true, but hey, I can still dream.
The original VI Brass 1 and Woodwinds 1 libraries only had 4 soloists, so I’m curious to see how they’ll tackle Synchron Woodwinds.

If (when) Synchron Woodwinds come, here are the individual instruments I hope they'll start with:

Piccolo
Flute 1
Flute 2
Oboe 1
Oboe 2
English Horn
Clarinet 1
Clarinet 2
Bass Clarinet
Bassoon 1
Bassoon 2
Contrabassoon

I'd be more than happy to accept the woodwind ensembles from BBO Neptune and Orion in it, too! 

I believe Andromeda will go well with the SE! Considering they’re all using the sonic “signature” of the Synchron Stage, they’ll blend quite well together.

Hi Dreams,

I only advise for the SE because of the access to individual instruments with access to certain ensembles. I feel like BBO is great for “sketching” in terms of orchestrating for ensembles. But the SE is great for access to individual players. Obviously, it comes down to choice and what you’re looking to accomplish with your new Virtual Orchestras, but that’s how I like to use the VSL libraries. The BBO focuses primarily on sections rather than individual instruments and players. With SE 1+2, you gain access to ensembles, but also individual instruments for solo passages.

Regarding Dorado and Eridanus:
Eridanus features pre-programmed riffs for percussion, while Dorado is just percussion ensembles that you’ll need to program for passages and riffs.

I hope this is helpful!

Cheers,

Hi there!

Welcome to the amazing world of VSL! I've been using VSL products for almost 10 years, and I highly recommend starting with the SYzed Special Editions. I started back long before the Synchron Series and SYzed libraries, and I have to say that the Synchron Player is very intuitive and easy to use. The Special Editions are a great place to start! It gives you access to individual instruments, along with a few select ensembles, crafted with impulse responses in the beautiful Synchron Stage in Vienna, but you can opt to use the dry samples in the Mix Tab and Mixer Presets in the Synchron Player. I hope this is helpful!

Cheers!

That's because they never recorded one for Synchron Percussion

Many thanks! 

Thanks for the feedback! I chose the "close" presets for all instruments. I might try another version with the "classic" presets and see how it sounds.

I am (once again) B L O W N away by this brilliant new library!

I've gotten to really toy around with a couple of the solo instruments, but this is absolutely stellar. I mean, come on! This whole team is stellar! Congrats to you all again! Looking forward to diving deeper into this library, and looking forward to the next release!

Cheers!

With the release of the ~*A M A Z I N G*~ new Synchron Brass (and the Elite Strings), I couldn't help myself but recreate this track from the Broadway musical "Little Women"

This track features the Elite Strings, Bosendorfer Upright, and the all new Synchron Brass (Horn 1, Trumpet 1, Tenor and Bass Trombone).

I know I've only barely scratched the surface, but I am beyond thrilled to dive deeper into this new brass library! Congrats to the whole team for this astounding release!

CC7 is linked to Master Volume in both the Synchron Player and the VI Player. CC11 is only linked to the Expression level. Typical setups mean that CC28 turns the VelXF on and off, while CC2 controls the VelXF slider. All of these can be changed at your will.

I'm definitely with you. Absolutely beautiful, and the techniques? Perfect. 

Hi all!

I decided to really test out the Sychron Elite Strings in one of my favorite pieces for the Little Women musical. I feel like this new library is absolutely stellar, and I really hope we'll get some additional articulations for this library in the future (ponticello, con sordino, etc). But for now, this is probably my favorite library they've released to date! Cheers!

They might be, but considering they've released the MIRx and MIR Pro settings for the VI libraries, it may be awhile. I'm hoping they do the Brass I and II libraries soon, too though!

Terrific! Thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't see the Sibelius Preset submenu in VIPro!

Hi all! 

I'm hoping you can assist me. Which preset should I load when using Sibelius? Should I load the VI Pro presets or the Matrix Level Presets? Thank you!

Best,
