I do apologise !! I forgot to update my VEPro at the same time as updating the Synchron Player. All seems good now.

If in doubt, update everything ;p

Best wishes,

Hallo all,

I just updated my synchron player and I now cannot use it in VEPro 6, when I try to open it as an instance in VEPro 6 it freezes my whole system and I have to reboot.

Does anyone have this happening to them ? My workaround is to open the sychron player as a separate instrument in my Host (Nuendo 8) but I would prefer to run it in VEPro as I am used to doing, ideally.

Thank you very much !

Best wishes,

Mike

Thank you fahl5, your reply is appreciated !

Mike

Hi Paul,

I heard from you about this update this morning - just to check, as I have current and past projects that use Synchron Drums in the VIpro player will I still be able to use these OK if I upgrade ?

Thanks,

Best wishes,

Mike

Thanks for the reply Paul.

I misunderstood, I thought you meant a new background picture could be loaded (which would be cool, but it's not necessary !).

Have a good Sunday.

Best wishes,

Mike

Hi Paul,

How do you do this please ? I am starting my own preset from scratch and just have a grey background with swirly lines. I can't see anywhere to load an image into Synchron Player ?

Thanks,

Mike

Andi, I would just like to thank you again for pointing me in the right direction. Seeing these VST expression maps has helped me realise quite what possibilities there are with the Synchron Player, it is very complex and will reward deep research, study and experimentation. Though I will be making my own presets and expression maps these are very informative. My initial response on this thread was a little naive. As someone who constantly ran out of slots in VI PRO I am starting to see how useful and expressive this will be. I am starting to think that, maybe, perfect has been improved upon ;p

Thanks again,

Best wishes,

Mike

This is perfect Andi, I had no idea these existed, thank you.

Best wishes,

Mike

Thank you stan-k. Yup, That would be an option too. More experimentation to be done for different options. I had not realised until you pointed it out that in the output mapping I can have more than one destination assigned. I think that is the answer. Cheers !

Mike

Thanks TFIS, I agree, in VI/VEP I have built all my templates and keyswitches from scratch. Seems I will have to do the same in Synchron, though I thought otherwise.

Mike

Actually, it is such a different concept using this player that I am not sure VST expression maps quite hack it. Not enough slots in them for a full tree in Synchron. I think I will use the new player for just the articulations I have now gained (eg non vib sus) and stick as I am with the original appassionatas library. As people have pointed out on other threads here, it is difficult to improve on perfect ;p

Hallo.

Forgive me if this has been asked already.

I just bought and installed Appassionata for Synchron Player; I already own the standard Appassionata Library. I use this normally with VST expression maps that I have made myself in Nuendo 8. My question is - how do you use VST expression with the synchron player presets when some of the articulations need two key switches ? So for example a cello (in Synchron Preset) requires both C#1 and G6 for Marcato. Not quite sure how I would do that when building a VST expression map. Or do I just have to build all my own presets with only one 'dimension' ? How are you guys doing this ?

Thanks,

Best wishes,

Mike

I am trying to input the license for a new VSL instrument so I can license the instrument to download. It says it cannot connect to the server even though I am connected fine to the internet. My firewall setting s are allowing the app but still no luck. I tried another computer, still no luck. Does anyone else have this issue ?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks Grey ! :-)

After two years' hard work, in amongst other projects, I have finished my Third Digitiphony (Electro Orchestral Symphony). As with one and two it was all made in Nuendo using three computers all hooked up with Vienna Ensemble, and using Vienna Strings, Brass and Jazz drum Kit in amongst other vst's such as Omnisphere, The Grand 3 and Absynth 5. Here is a full length stream (copyrights all owned by me mods). I am loving the vsl libraries, which are rapidly taking over in my pc's from other (not to be mentioned) libraries. I am looking forward to trying out Dimension Strings next. Here is the link to a full stream of it, which you will have to cut and paste as I can't see how to put a link in here ....

Marcus, sent you a message with these. Anyone who has trouble with those links just message me.

and here are the brushes ---

OK so here is a link to the 'sticks' map

actually it wasn't so bad, message me if you would like a copy of the 'sticks' kit map,

Hallo all,

I recently downloaded these VSL drums, which are astounding, congratulations to all involved.

Before I start the long tedious job of making a drum map for use with the drums in nuendo (read cubase), does anyone know whether someone has already made maps ? not for the GM kits obviously, but both full kits, ie sticks and brushes, all articulations.

When and if I get them done I will put a link up here for anyone else who might want this (don't hold your breath).

I thought about making expression maps but as there are so many articulations I don't think that would be practical as it would get in the way of the VSL keyswitches already in the kit. Drum maps seem the best option to me.

Cheers,

Mike

Hey Willy,
Thx for that. However to me it is an archiving issue, amongst others. If sequences can only be accessed through VE/VI pro then, ultimately, the sequencer won't get used. Thisis what has now happened to me, sadly. I was blown away by the possibilities of the sequencer (see my first post) but have now stopped using it. No flexibility when returning to pieces of music or backing up for use many years in the future (yes that is how I work :() .mid files are what is required here - ubiquitous and simple. To be able to make a .mid from performances using the sequencer (chords, phrases etc) would be awesome. Until then, sadly, it won't get used here much.

OK I've found what happened - I mistakenly replaced a shortcut with the 32bit version, not 64 bit. My mistake. is there any way theses updates in future can replace shortcuts with the new ones ?! :)
thanks,
Mike

Sad to say I just updated too and had my project corrupted (I'm on a PC). All the 3rd party vst's I have on that machine (Kontakt 4, Omnisphere, Trilian) are now not functioning correctly... either VePro does not find them or the data folder addresses for them seem to have been corrupted. I have tried rescanning several times, currently still not working and my project's still down. This coupled with the same leaving of old shortcuts, which all have to be replaced (this happened for the last update too) has made it a tedious, unhappy and frustrating process. Not overly impressed. Upgrades should be way more seamless in this day and age. We are all busy people :(

Best wishes,

Mike

Thanks for the reply Paul. That would be very useful - especially if a midi file could be exported that took into account all note performances resulting from trigger inputs to the sequencer.
I would encourage anyone who has not done so to have a quick play around with the sequencer - it can be very useful for mocking up string parts very quickly using the cell assign function and for other musical experiments you may never have even thought of :-)
Cheers,
Mike

I originally thought the sequencer in VI Pro would not interest me, however I have been using it out of curiosity and am very impressed - many cool things can be done very quickly. But, to me its usefulness is limited if I cannot export midi from it in the same way I can import a midi file. This means that I cannot put these files back into my host sequencer for back up (I know I can save Vi Pro sequences, but that is not the same) and orchestration at a later date. This would be a very useful feature, to me at least :)

Or am I missing something ?

Thanks,

Mike
