1.FAZIOLI (std lib): dynamic range sounds very compressed 12/11/2022 12:51:58 PM
One of the pieces I am currently playing is La Cathédrale engloutie by Claude Debussy.
In the middle part there is a fortissimo section with the lowest C as pedal tone that has
to be rehit quite hard several times.
 
Daniel Barenboim uses his right hand for this lowest C, you can watch it from 2:35 onwards in this recording:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8o-YjpsXl8
 
Here the "limitation" of the Fazioli bass becomes obvious. The gain does not seem to match velocity.
 
I have raised the loudness of the lowest octaves on the edit page. But I think the
professionals at VSL would do a better job to improve this issue.

I have the standard library. And I second this impression. I was immediately a bit disappointed with the sound in comparison with the other libraries I have, Steinway full, Boesendorfer Imperial full and CFX standard with the latter being my favourite for just playing.

The bass lacks power, the mid sounds somehow very centered lacking width, muffled is the right description.

And in the updated player the option to save a preset as default is still missing.

Best,

Stefan

3.New Synchron Piano Player update borked my presets? 12/8/2022 3:02:15 PM

No problems here as well.

4.Synchron pianos, silent key press and sympathetic resonance, how to 4/10/2022 10:51:46 PM

Hello,

two questions 1) How can I have a key pressed down slowly without sound like on a real piano? Do I have to manipulate the velocity curve? Is there no „learn“ functionality like in other libraries and Pianoteq?

2) How do I get good, natural sounding sympathetic resonance? There is either none or strange sounding effects when I adjust the corresponding db values.

Machine-based licensing simply doesn't offer enough protection. There's nothing else to it. 

With a highly demanding production process like ours, we simply cannot afford to be hacked. 

I see that you have purchased in our webshop, so feel free to return your license within 14 days. 

We hate to see you go, but it would be even worse to see you so unhappy and upset. 

Best, 
Paul

Paul,

Thank you for the offer to return the license. But after playing the Steinway for a couple of days now I will NEVER do this. The sound simply right away blowed me away. I was looking very, very long for a piano sound like this. All the different microphones leave nothing to be desired! A tool that inevitably makes you creative.

I was very pleased reading about the move to iLok and bought the Synchron Steinway full library using the current offer on all products.
Unfortunately I was very disappointed when it came to the iLok activation. I already have all Ivory II pianos as well as the VILabs Ravenscroft and True Keys Pianos activated in iLok.

BUT these ALL offer the posibility to activate the licenses by binding it to the computer without the needs of a dongle or a permanent internet connection for a „cloud“ activation.

Why is this not possiple with the Synchron Pianos??

I hate hardware dongles and I hate to be online with my Windows machine during recording sessions. Every once in a while Windows starts doing something in the background while online and this can ruin recordings!

When will you enable the third iLok location alternative activating licenses directly to the computer beeing able to work offline without a dongle?
