I just hit Reinstall in Vienna Assistant ..but it started a download again so I quit in a panic...but...when I opened Synchron Player the Compatibility Presets are there!

Hi Andreas

Thanks for getting back to me.

So yes, these "..01 update" files are indeed inside my Synchron iLok folder on my drive. But there is nothing in the Synchron Player mentioning Compatibility Presets.

So.. I understand what these are.

I have Prime and Synchron Strings Pro installed.

But I do not see any "Compatibility Presets" in the browser of Synchron Strings Pro ? How do I get them? There are no downloads in Vienna Assistant and I'm up to date. I'm confused!

Please don't point me to a video- I've watched every one and none of them answer the simple question- where are they and how do you install the presets?

Thanks

Hello

I need to decide relatively soon, please advise,

I am a big Synchron Player convert- it's what brought me back to VSL after years of not using them.

I want to get Dimension Strings. The Synchronized Dimension String SE5 is €345 and, as you, know a small selection (but maybe enough).

The full Synchronized Dimension I cannot afford right now but...the 'old' VI Dimension1 is on special offer for roughly the same as the SE5 version.

I thought I had done with the VI Player. And also I will then have to buy VI Pro to get the humanize functions, which are really important to me.  This is implemented in the Synchron Player really well.

Are the extra articulations in the VI Dimension worth it? What else would I miss if I got the SE5 version of Dimension Strings?

Thanks for any advice.

Anyone?

Thanks.

Any DP folks here that can help with this?

All my VI's apart from Synchron make great use of the Pre-Gen facility in DP. The only one that does not is Synchron Player. Is there a way to force Synchron into Pre-Gen mode? The mini-menu's 'Real-Time' option is greyed out.

Thanks

Thanks Ben

That doesn't get me there though...

I wanted a detailed manual explaining what, for example, each of the performance faders actaully does eg Legato Blur? Or how does the Humanize Amount relate to the other two Humanize Faders. I can't find any info on that!

I too am using Synchron in Digital Performer and if Motu would allow custom naming of the Patch list for VI's it would help enormously. However, I'm just grateful that we can use Programme Change instead of Key Switches- I do not like key switches.

The column view in Sychron does make it all possible- I just set each column's Programme Change to 0, 10, 20 etc and it's all pretty do-able.

I've searched through the manuals but cannot find a thorough expalnation of the Perform controls in Sychron Player. I also checked some of the videos. Does this exist?

Thanks

OK IM USING CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE 5 MONTHS AND THIS IS NOT FIXED AND ALL YOU DO IS SAY 'NI HAVE TO FIX THIS'

COME ON VSL - YOU CANT JUST SAY "SOMEONE ELSES PROBLEM". IT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

PLEASE SORT THIS OUT!!!!

OK shouting over. Big smile and hugs. But please put this to the very very very top of your priority list. Get on a plane to Berlin and go chat to NI face to face. Send them flowers/money/drugs, whatever it takes, Jut please DO something. Oops I used capitals again :)

Four months now. This is not getting fixed!

It's a big problem. Paul- can you put some pressure on please?

Thanks Paul. 

Wow yes it sure is a sensitive matter, I had no idea, and I am sure you are bored to tears with discussing it!

I can see the anger arises from paying for the protection..but now I look at it, you are asking €35 per year for total protection (is that right?) which seems OK to me. 

The Synchron player really does make me want to come back to VSL ..it's really wonderfully simple and just better.

But oh dear then I read this:

https://vi-control.net/community/threads/vsl-instrument-licenses-vanished-from-e-licenser.82482/

Why oh why oh why did you go down the eLicensor route VSL? So sad.

I cannot imagine investing more than €35 given what I read in that link! And before you say it..no..I won't buy your insurance.

But as someone points out in that thread..you are not going to change your Draconian stance. So be it.

I just got the offer to crossgrade to the Synchron SE. To be honest I had moved on from VSL SE to other libraries but..wow, I am so glad I took up the offer. It's like a whole different library. Very good. Congratulations.

Thanks Jason for figuring this out....I was unable to get it to work until I saw your post!

Hi Andi

....understood.

It's a relatively easy job to drag the Pro2 matrices into the Sibelius preset I realise now, so no worries.

Thanks!

Actually more..the solution I discovered is to rearrange the Sibelius presets with the Pro advanced matrices

But the SE manual says the following which does not seem to be the case with the Sibelius presets?

The configuration of individual Cells has been designed to be interchangeable throughout all instruments; e.g., a staccato will always be found in the same Cell position, irrespective of whether you are using a string or a wind instrument. This allows a quick change of instruments in your arrangement.

Is it possible to use the wonderful VI 2 PRO Presets with Sibelius?

The Sibelius Presets work fine with Sibelius but when I use the VI PRO 2 Presets all the articulations are wrong. What's the solution?

Thanks

Hi

Just got VI Pro (what a difference!) and am trying to connect my iPad/VI Remote App combination to VI Pro on my Mac.

I can do this via WiFi successfully, but it drops out as the base station is a long way a way...so I need another solution.

So I thought I could use 'Create Network'....'Create a Computer to Computer Network' via WiFi, which I've used for other things in the past with no problem. But for some reason, though I can connect the ipad and the Mac together...the Remote App will not work at all. It is a WiFi network after all, but it will not connect through it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
