Fine. Now it is official what I've been knowing since the appearance of the synchron player. Perhaps other readers/user will agree (if so, please like my comment to keep it up here) when I elaborate why your synchron player will never replace VI Pro. At least as long as the concept of the SyncPlayer stays the same. 1. VI Pro was the most intuitive sampler that I have ever seen - and I've been doing this for decades. No waste of space, everything was clearly visible. 2. The options how to set things were amazing! Yet, never overwhelming. Your setups could be incredibly complex, you had any freedom you could wish for. The feature set was one-of-a-kind. Too much to name them all here, but still on one uncluttered GUI. 3. the sequencer on page 2 of the GUI. Brilliant. Sure, you could do that in your sequencer too, but with keyswitches and all? Instead, in the sampler's own sequencer all you had to do was to choose which note should be played by which cell. Genius. For ostinati this was pure gold. 3. stacking of sounds, crossover for slots, I mean, c'mon, what a bless for forging articulation transistions! 4. Automatic level adaptions to different venues with MIRx. 5. Did I mention the efficient use of GUI space? 6. Dry stereo instruments and sections which were placed automatically in their right place. Actually, all you had to do to get a perfectly balanced orchestra at your fingertips was to activate MIRx and load an instrument patch. All you had to do was a tiny bit of EQing if you felt the need to do so. Oh, wait, even that: included in that efficient GUI. Compression? Lower the dynamic range. 7: Volume curves drawable over the keyboard of your piano Now, I don't say I couldn't see why a new sampler became necessary. However, I say that you evaluated the need for change wrongly. VI Pro had no dedicated mixer for different microphone setups. I see that. Most of the serious competitors have that. I have two thoughts on that. First, one way to integrate that into VI Pro, without complex coding, would have been to create new libraries divided in mics. Like: Strings - Violins - Sustain - Close/Decca/AB/Room. We had slots in VI Pro, and for each slot we had a fader and a Pan/Width knob. Here we are, full mix freedom, even in VI Pro. So easy. Second, I have a quite provocative opinion about giving the user several micing options. I really believe that most users/composers are tricked into believing they would NEED that to get a decent orchestral sound. The truth is: what we had with MIRx and the VI Pro sampler was more than enough to get a perfect orchestral stage sound. A great arrangement, a great composition gets you much further than having the option to push up the A|B fader 3 more dBs. I know, I've been an audio engineer for 20 years. So don't get distracted by options, dear composer, make music - not adjustments noone of your listeners will ever care about. Remember, we had the dry/wet fader of MIRx. Make it drier and upfront, push it back into the room... it has been there all along, your good friend in the MIRx module. The decision for VSLs path into the future has been made. It has been made a long time ago. And following this decision, code has been written, libraries have been recorded, concepts have been made. I get it. There is no way back. But be told that sometimes decisions are not necessarily the most thoughtful ones.

VA hangs every time I do anything now.

The background music is so sad...

I bought it. Sounds great. But I can NOT find anywhere in videos or documentation on how to use this in a DAW, to record multitrack pieces. As in: 1. HOW DO I SEND A PATCH CHANGE, SO IT WILL RECORD THAT IN THE TRACK? 2. DO I HAVE TO HAVE A SEPARATE INSTANCE OF THE SYNCHRON PLAYER INSTALLED ON EVERY TRACK IN MY DAW in able to record? Some statements about this stuff would have been helpful. Everything I see is geared towards just playing in real-time, which is NOT HOW ORCHESTRATING WORKS! Someone please help.

you should do more giveaways😂❤

Stunning presentation. I recently became a VSL customer and I must say you have changed my [composer] life.

Thanks a lot maestro!

Synchron Woodwinds I ? 😮 So when can we expect II? 😉

:-) Vincent is the Best!

Sounds clanky and fake to me. At the level of Garritan CFX.

How about the magpie arguing with the raccoon?​@vtohiercomposer9285

Очень круто звучит....натурально....

And the boy cried, "Wolf!"

didn't Alexandre Desplat use VSL to compose this initially?

How come Erik has the extra mega secret "Breath noises" bonus patch and we don't ?? I'm outraged! ... Hehe. All jokes aside, a brilliant work again, dear Erik. We couldn't expect any less from a master like you!

Wunderbar!

The piece is good, but the sounds are so campy.

Very good. It takes courage and know-how to impart delicate and quite with sample libraries. At a time when so many want big and boisterous, this is of course refreshing.

Wow. Vincent

PS.: Vincent, deine Musikbeispiele sind wunderbar und klingen sooo grandios schön.

Ich hatte mich sehr über die neuen Sounds gefreut. Danke!

i have the full version and it's one of those pianos that i can't live without, sorry for everyone's wallet but the second and third close mics are absolutely needed and gorgeous❤

Killer face!

Thanks Vincent. I couldn't decide before whether to buy it, after watching this video you managed to convince me. Thanks.

The combination of bassoon and cello is my favorite. It is not too comical and has a stylish tone👍

what about synchonized winds???? are we assed out?

Amazing! Loved the piccolo and bassoon pieces especially. But how do you change articulations so quickly, did you program them in advance?

great!

"...close to 100 gigabyte of delicate harp samples that could be on your hard drive ... soon." Gave me a laugh, because it's true. I feel when it comes to traditional orchestral instrument samples, the timpani and harp are not sampled thoroughly enough by most library makers. Then, I thought of Vienna - they know how to thoroughly sample instruments. How did I not think of this before?? And what an interface!

excellent comme toujours.

You always are just enjoying yourself with these libraries Vincent. Just so good!

Sold (The full edition being on sale that helped a lot!)

They sound wonderful! ♥

Masterpiece.

Good one, Vincent. I can hear lots of work and thought went into this.

Every new video from you is cause for celebration! 🎉

Happy woodwind festival! 🎉 How did you like this new video ? Let us know ! ❤

Fantastic, thank you for sharing

What? You skipped over how to get the template into Dorico. Not helpful.

You mention that lowering the buffer size to 0 will introduce more work for the CPU... but for which PC? The host PC? Or the server PC?

Danke für das kontinuierliche Verfeinern dieser fantastischen Libraries. Unter der Händen von jemandem wie Mr. Bacos beruhigt es zusätzlich das Unbehagen vor Kultur von künstlicher Intelligenz. Davon ist sie glücklicherweise noch sehr weit entfernt.

Gorgeous impressionist piece

Congrats Guy, this is one of your best, so far.

what about the articulations for the synchronized winds?

These VSL videos are always so well done. I've just upgraded today my Prime Edition with this. Stunning libraries for a composer.

Giuseppe's compositions and presentations are always top notch. Wonderful library.

Sold ! (I am the proud owner of the Prime Edition so adding the Synchron Woodwinds is perfect timing thanks to that discount).

Wonderful, @Guy!

Are you going to update the Synchron-ized series with the missing articulations?

Thanks for the free lyrical legatos update again! :)
