Correct. It's the same instrument, but with additional articulations.

You can either use CC11 (expression) or you can use CC7 (master volume)

I don't know why it took me this long to notice that this library is missing the Eb Clarinet, English Horn II, and the Alto Flute, as far as the solo instruments go from Woodwinds I & II. Any particular reason these instruments were left out of the SYNCHRON-ized library? Will there be a SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds II featuring those missing instruments, plus the Special Woodwinds at any point?

Hi VSL Team,

I don't know where to go to put this, but I wanted to thank you so much for your hrad work with the D-274. I put it into a couple of my recent projects, and I've never had access to a piano that sounds this good. The depth, the warmth, the flexibility, the realism, and anything else positive I can't think of. I can't sing its praise high enough. 5 Stars all the way! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do!

Hi all,

I went ahead and tried my hand at recreating one of my favorite pieces from the Star Wars universe: 

Rey's Theme

Libraries used are:

Vienna Imperial
Percussion I
Harp I
Brass I
SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings
SYNCHRON-ized Chamber Strings
SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds
SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Brass 

For the libraries I donn't have SYNCHRON-ized versions of, I loaded them onto the Synchron Stage in MIR Pro. I hope you all enjoy!

Hi all,

First, I already sent off an email to support, but I'm wondering if anyone else on here is experiencing an issue with the Synchron Player causing the "Unhandled exception" problem within Vienna Ensemble and other DAWs. 

It seems to only happen with the Flute 1 and Bassoon 2 of Synchron-ized Woodwinds. I've used ProTools, Cakewalk, Cubase, etc to see if it was the program, but it happens across the board. Any ideas? Thanks, friends.

Hi again,

How do I load two patches to play at the same time for one player (i.e. sfz and 2 sec crescendo)?

This worked!

Thank you so much! I'm still getting used to all of the new controls in the Synchron Player. Really great job to the team, by the way! I'm definitely enjoying it!

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a custom dimension that includes all strings in a section to play medioum dynamics (2 sec), but I can't seem to figure out how to make all of them play at once. Basically the furthest right tree says Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4. I can't figure out how to recrate that for a custom tree. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Edit: So I was able to create the trees I wanted, and I loaded all the correct patches to their appropriate places, but I can't seem to get all of the players playing. It's always just one player. Any help?

Edit 2: Basically I'm trying to figure out how to assign a patch to a particular mixer channel. I can enable all the instruments and patches at once, but they only play out of the first channel. How do I get them to play out of their respective channels. Example: I'm wanting all of the double basses to play the same articulation, and I load all the correct patches by copying another tree, but the samples only play through the Player 1 channel, not each of the individual channels.

Thank you! That's actually a great compliment.

Any feedback is welcome!

All strings were Dimension Strings.  

It still doesn't recognize the fact that it's a bounce or a mixdown.  I still have no idea why it's doing this.

Hello there!

This problem has been bothering me for some time, but I'm not sure it's VEP.  I'm running Windows 7 on an i7, 32GB RAM.  I'm using Sonar X3 and on my latest project, the export audio is too fast, and the resulting track is very choppy and unrecognizable.  The previous project has no problem, so I'm not sure exactly what seems to be happening.  All I know is that when I do try to export the audio, the MIXDOWN feature doesn't apper in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.  Any information would be useful.  Thank you!

I meant as Single Instruments.  My apologies.  Like, I could be able to download just the single violin or single viola.

I wouldn't be surprised if they finally released the strings as DL Insturments.  They've covered pretty much everything from the major collections to individual instruments, so I'm feeling like it might be time for the Solo Strings to become DL Instruments.

Thank you!  I've sent an email to you.

Hello there!

I'm terrible with all of this, but I missed the first and second window for the download for the template.  I didn't realize I would need it, but I'm working on a larger project and would love to be able to have access to such a great template.  I hope you can help!!

Best,

Jeff Strong

I hate to be a pest about this, but I'm just curious to see how the progress is for the Dimension Basses.  I know that everyone is hard at work on getting the rest of the patches to be perfect.  Any information would be most welcome.

From the product page:

"Although the sound of the trumpet is usually associated with majestic, powerful fanfares, the classical and soft “straight muted” timbre of this Trumpet in C not only blends well with ensembles of woodwinds and strings, but is also perfectly suited for lyrical melodic solo lines. All articulations have been recorded with a custom made damper that has been specifically modified in order to meet the high sonic standards of Vienna's highly acclaimed “Silent Stage” recordings."

Are you sure it's a Harmon mute?  Not to cause a fuss, but I'm actually curious to know that is meant by "custom made damper."

Wow!  A compliment from you Dietz is not taken lightly.  Thank you very much for the kind words!  I can't take all the credit, though.  Your presets for MIRx in MIR Pro really helped a LOT for this piece.  I still think that the integration of MIRx into MIR Pro is one of the best things that you and your team have created.  The presets are amazing!!

Best,

Jeff Strong

Hello all!

I've been toying with the new MIRx settings in MIR Pro, and I have to say I'm quite pleased.  I've decided to post this project in hopes for any feedback.  I didn't change much in regards to the settings for the instrument placement and levels.  This is composed of 98% VSL products, and I'm truly hoping you all will emjoy it.  This piece is from the musical "Wicked".
