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,
jhstrong

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!

Best,
jhstrong

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 Paul,

Sorry for not clarifying. I’m in the Synchron player.

Hi again,

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