Hi,

Can you remind me of what exactly 'Interval Map' does in VI-Pro ?  Completely forgot about it, since I no longer use VI-Pro. only Synchron Player now. I would love to see a good video tutorial on making a performance legato patch in Synchron Player. If that is possible, or maybe VSL will make some Performance Legatos for us in future updates. I feel this is one of the current weakness of VSL Synchron Player, too much reliance on Key-Switches. which honestly, I'm not a big fan of. 

Thanks.

Not interested in any of the "synchron-ized" string libraries at this time.

Hi,

I'm hoping that VSL will be releasing Synrhron Solo Strings in the near future. They do not currently have a true-Synchron Solo Strings Library. Only Synchronized, or the VI-Solo Strings versions.

HTH,

Hi Dietz,

Thank You for the helpful feedback. I was able to get the room-tone in my DAW (Studio One Pro 5). By inserting a MIR-Pro instance on an empty stereo audio track, and enable RT on the MIR-Pro Plugin. Now I can dial in the Room Tone amount of this audio track as needed.

Hi,

I'm not sure why I can't increase the (Room Tone) fader in MIR Pro to add some room tone of the venue I have selected. When I try to move the Room Tone fader to the right it doesn't move. Is there something I'm missing here, or a setting, ..etc. ? 

Any help on this detail would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

If that's the case, then I'm happy as is. Synchron Strings Pro are great. I don't need the Optimized Shorts, or to add the Optimized Synchron Strings I content. 

Would love to see Synchron Solo Strings released in the near future. 😎

Thank You,

Hi Paul,

I deleted Synchron Strings I from my SSD, so I can't compare. But I do recall that the Synchron Strings I shorts were more detailed sounding compared to the Synchron Strings Pro. Actually Synchron Strings I shorts were very impressive, that's why I still recall how good they are. 

Maybe you can test them yourself to compare, and see what you think about them. 

Thanks,

And of course you can keep the original Synchron Strings I, if that's important for your work.

Hi Paul,

imho. The shorts of Synchron Strings I with their higher number of dynamics sound more detailed, and realistic than Synchron Strings Pro, that's why I feel it would be very useful if I could have an optimized version of Synchron Strings I that includes the shorts. or just offers the shorts. I have both Synchron Strings I, and Pro,  I would really like to just add the shorts to my Pro version, without having to use Synchron Strings I. That's the part of Synch. Str I that I feel is the most impressive. 

So, maybe you will think about offering the shorts from Synch. Str I as an option for Synchron Strings Pro users like myself. I'm sure many Synchron Strs. Pro user would love this option as well. 

Thanks,

So, Articulation management is fantastic. You just select the notes you want and assign the articulation you need for them from the Sound-Variation list window. 

I'm not sure what DAW you use, but Studio One Pro 5 has imho the best articulation management system with VSL Synchron Player, because both companies developed it together to make sure they work perfectly, and communicate bi-directionally. 

I'm glad you are discovering how wonderful Studio One Pro 5 is. It is only going to get better, and better. So, you made a wise decision to use it. I used to be a Cubase user, but switched to Studio One Pro when it was at version 3, and never bothered with Cubase any more. Plus, Studio One Pro 5 comes with five software licenses, no need for a dongle. Although You still need a dongle for VSL libraries. 

I hope VSL changes their mind, and include the Synchron Strings I shorts in the optimized version.

Str I , if it included the shorts. I do not like the Legatos in Synchron Strings I, the Legatos of Synchron Strings Pro are much better. So, I have no desire to use Synch. Strs. I longs/legatos.

As a matter of fact, I would expect Synchron Strings Pro to be the ones with more velocity layers. I mean they are labeled "Pro". Professionals want more, not less.

For this reason, I am daring use the optimized content. Absolutely not.

I wish VSL will re-consider this, and include them in the Optimized version.

Fingers Crossed it's Synchron Woodwinds in December. 

Thanks for the facebook link. 

Hi,

OK, issue is RESOLVED. 

The solution was very simple, I just had to go to the Sound-Variations in Studio One, and from the popup menu in the upper tab of the Sound-Variations popup window, choose "Use Activation Sequence", I had one of the other options selected, which disables the Keyboard controller from Changing Key-Switches. 

Here is a pic of that menu, and setting that you need to have the Keyboard select the key-switches to change articulations. 

I hope this is helpful info. for other S1Pro users. 

Cheers,

Muziksculp 

Hi, 

I should add to my post above, that I also see some odd note data when I load a Synchron Player Library in Studio One Pro 5.4.1. The Key-Editor shows dark brown notes for some of the Key-Switches of the Preset, they are not selectable, or editable. They just appear in the Key-Editor. 

So, something is very strange here with regards to the Key-Switches, and Studio One. The Sound Variations work, but if I need to switch to a specific articulation via pressing a key-switch note on my Keyboard it doesn't work. Nothing happens. 

Here is a Pic of the key-switch notes that appear automatically in the key-editor. when a Preset is loaded

I e-mailed VSL-Support about this problem, hopefully they can help me fix this issue if it's on my side, or they might have to fix it via an update. If anyone using S1Pro , I would appreciate it if you can test, and see if you have this issue. (THANKS). 

Hi,

I'm having a strange issue with the VSL Synchron Player, when I press any of the Key-Switch keys using my Keyboard controller to change an articulation in the Tree, it does not show that Key being pressed, and the articulation does not change, when I play the normal playable range the keys do react on the Synchron Player's virtual keyboard, and reflect the notes I'm playing on my keyboard controller.

I noticed there was an update for the Synchron Player, ver. 1.1.2053, which was posted on 11-15-21 , so I installed this latest update, but it's still behaving the same way, I can't change articulations via my controller keyboard, if I click on the Synchron virtual keyboard in the Key-switch area/range, the articulations do change, but not when I use my keyboard controller.

Any idea what's going on here. I tested my Keyboard controller with Kontakt for Key-switches, to see if there is a problem, and it works fine, don't have this issue.

Is there a setting that I need to change ? I have never experienced this issue using Synchron Player. 

Any help/feedback to fix this issue would be appreciated. 

I'm using Studio One Pro 5.4.2 on Windows 10. 

I should also add that the Synchron Player is taking more than usual to load as an empty instrument, and also more than usual to load presets. Not sure if I can fix this, it used to be very snappy, and fast. something seems to affect its performance in terms of loading. Any feedback on this detail as well would be very helpful. (THANKS).

Thanks,

Muziksculp

December is usually all about vouchers, buy 3 get one free.

That said, we can hope, can't we.

It would be so nice to have a complete Syncrhon Orchestra before 2021 ends.

We have Synchron Strings, Brass, and Perc. , but no Woodwinds. So the foundation of the Synchron Orchestra is incomplete.

December would be a beautiful month to release Synchron Woodwinds, and have a joyful Holiday Season, plus whatever else VSL wants to delight us with such as coupons, discounts, ..etc. 

Hi,

Yes, I'm super excited to see VSL Release Synchron Woodwinds.

I'm sure it will be an amazing sounding woodwinds library. Would love it if it shows up in December this year. 

Cheers,

  No Thanks. I would rather they just add the Slurred-Legatos to Synchron Strings Pro. This would be an awesome improvement to the library. 

Please VSL Development , Just Do it !   and we will love you more ! 

THANKS. 

Hi,

Now that VSL have given us Slurred-Legato articulations for Elite Strings. How about doing the same for Synchron Strings Pro. That would be so awesome. 

Please VSL Development/Paul , can you do that ?  

This will surely add more functionality to Synchron Strings Pro, which is a gem of a Strings library, but still missing Slurred-Legato. It will make us very happy, and make the library more popular. 

Thanks,

Muziksculp 

Has the Intro. Price been extended to August 15th ?  

I didn't get the Newsletter email informing me of this, but someone mentioned it. The product page doesn't show this, maybe they will post this change tomorrow. 

I'm really hoping that VSL Synchron Woodwinds will be the next big library release ! 

Please... Please ... VSL give us Synchron Woodwinds

Yes, that's right, but VST3 is becoming the current standard format. So, being able to host VST3 in VE-Pro 7 is an important feature that's missing. 

Thanks. 

Hopefully VE-Pro 7 will be updated soon by VSL to support VST3 hosting. 

This is very overdue. VST3 is becoming the current standard. Especially with Kontakt 6.6 now running as a VST3 only, VST3 support by VE-Pro 7 is badly needed. 

Please VSL Development, update it so we can use VST3 instruments in VE-Pro 7. 

Thanks,

Muziksculp 

Sounds very good. But a bit too dry of a mix for my taste, I think it would sound much better with some more hall acoustics/reverb. 

Thanks for sharing.
