1.NEW Synchron Harp - A harp unlike any you've heard before! 1/12/2022 5:36:37 PM

I'm glad you said this Steve:

"One issue for me is that my controller keyboard is Kawai fully-weighted piano action, and it is rough on the hands to perform glissandos on that keyboard. Of course, I could get an additional keyboard but if I am buying additional keyboards every time a plug in requires it I'm going to have to answer to my already very tolerant spouse for that!"

I recently played for (of all things) a production of "The Little Mermaid" which has numerous harp glisses. I only made it to the second song during sitzprobe before I had blood smeared across my keys from playing the glissandos. While I prefer performing glisses in pedal mode, there are many reasons triggerable (if that's a word) glisses are a necessary resource. For recent musical theater shows, the keyboard scores specifically call for glisses to be triggered because our hands are often too busy playing multiple other sounds/instruments. 

On a different note, I have noticed the lower range of the harp (staring around G/F3) is much softer than the mid & upper ranges even though the velocity is the same, almost a difference of 10db. I need to do a little more checking to make sure I didn't select something incorrectly, but I remember this happening when first testing it out. Thanks for your help!

2.NEW Synchron Harp - A harp unlike any you've heard before! 1/8/2022 6:33:31 PM

So glad to see this addition to the Synchron libraries, especially since I mentioned it here in the BBO poll. :-) It's kind of disappointing though to see there aren't any glissandos that can be triggered with a key, or at the very least some sort of sequencer to create them within the player. It would be amazing and invaluable to be able to do this, especially since I am planning on using the harp for live musical theater performances where this type of thing is a very common occurrence.  

Also, I'm having an issue with the harp player always opening saved presets to pedal mode rather than chromatic. I've tried the standalone version, VST 64bit and VST3 versions. I'm using Windows 10 (everything is updated as much as it can be) and have tried them in both VST Host and VEP and get the same results. I also tested this with previous versions of the Harp player and received the same results. I will send an email to support shortly to hopefully figure this out.

BTW, Happy New Year!!

3.Poll Closed! BBO: YMIR will be a children’s choir! 11/24/2020 7:04:14 PM

@mantrum I agree with you about a possible Harp library, especially a comprehensive glissando Harp one. It would be such an amazing time saver to have glissandos in as many keys & scales as possible at your finger tips The ones currently available in the VI series are somewhat lacking and could benefit from a better layout. 

4.Hearing a Flange in SYNCHRON STRINGS PRO 10/21/2020 4:57:49 PM

@Neelesh     I have experienced the same thing and reported it a few weeks ago (along with a example that sounds similar to yours). It seemed it was only happening to me when I was using the VST3 version of the Synchron Player in VSTHost. I initially thought it could be aliasing, but I was told it was probably flanging/phasing like you stated. I don't really agree with this since I wasn't using a flanger/phaser in the chain anywhere (and rarely do). No real conclusion was made, other than it seemed unlikely that there would be too many others out there specifically using the VST3 version VSTHost, if any. 

5.Synchron Strings Pro and 1 legato patches comparison 10/13/2020 1:41:21 PM

I agree with you Eric, and I found this to also be true with anything in the Long notes-sustained, regular vibrato (normal release & attack) category in SSP. I initially thought it was velocity related (which is a different issue I'm having with SSP), but the slow attack is present no matter if I turn Velocity XF off or on. Adjusting expression, dynamic range sliders, and/or the attack setting in the Edit tab does not help either.
