    My guess is we'll see them next thursday. ðŸ˜ˆ


  • Is it a demo in November 2018?


  • Well there is one more week to go in November. But time is running short for the Early Bird offer, and there are still no demos. Maybe VSL can't meet the November release after all? An update on the current state would be welcome.

    just be plz realistic - 2027

    It's done, when it's done ---yes so truly! also white is white, black is black, man is man ....


  • So far VSL has been very good at keeping their announcements, lets give them some credit for that. But an update on the progress and current state would be very welcome. The last official word is from November 9, and it has been quiet since then. It's always possible that there were some stubborn bugs or other problems that need to be ironed out first. It would just be nice to know if the November release is still on the cards or if it will be delayed, what with all the black friday deals on other sample libraries.


  • Last four days for a November relase coming up. Time is really running short for the early bird offer, and there still are no demos, no further informations, and no official word about the progress. I start to get the feeling that the library will not be released next week, even though the homepage still states 'official release in November'.

    On the front page it now says -

    "Synchron Strings I will be available in December, 2017."

    What?

    That has kind off pee'd me off. I order it last week on the promise it was coming this month..


  • Hello everybody!

    So our web-admin was faster than me, and forgot to tell me about the update on the front page. Sorry about that, we did not want to annoy you. 

    We actually wanted to express how much we appreciate the excitement, your friendliness and also the professional discussions, before we can finally give you a status update. We are thrilled to see how many of you already went for the Early Bird Offer, and that makes us want to fulfill the high expectations we all have for this product even more!

    We are sorry for the long silence, and everybody here worked very hard to avoid this announcement, but we do need more time to take the last steps from great to outstanding.

    As soon as the first parts of Synchron Strings I are completed, we’ll make them available to you.
    This will be in December, at the earliest possible date, you will definitely be ready for a great-sounding 2018! 

    We’ll continue the current Early Bird Pricing for the time being, and we’ll keep you in the loop regarding release schedule, pricing and of course demos. 

    THANK YOU for your trust in us!

    Paul and your team in Vienna

    So you get people to pay for the product already promising a November release and now it is only going to be December, and even then in bits and bobs "as it becomes available"?

    I totally understand that you want it to be the best it can be, but suddenly changing the release date and schedule quite a bit , 3 days from the end of November is very frustrating and i'm guessing you must have known for quite some time that November was not going to happen.

    I wish i had waited now having bought it last week 😕


  • Hello Paul, thank you for the update. Take your time ... and finish the product "relaxed" :) Best Lars

    This happened to many great products this year. Real Guitar 5 was announced in may! Release was about 1-2 months ago. Competitor EW announced 2 Big Voices-Products coming "this Fall" ... Both missed "Fall" and are still not released yet (although one has a clear Releasedate now). This shows how hard it is to finish these kind of products for everybody.

    I agree, it happens. However, having got essentially to the end of November with no word of a delay whilst people are still buying it expecting a November release, it is frustrating to be suddenly told it will be December and even then in just dribs and drabs with no firm dates.

    This is the first time i have pre-ordered a sample library, and will now probably be the last time!

    Hmmm.... Does this mean that we shouldn't expect the full release of this library in Dec. , but rather some parts of it, and possibly a Jan. release of the remaining parts. i.e. Violins, and Cellos in Dec., Violas, and Basses in Jan. ? 


  • Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. This can't be Dimension Strings all over again.

    As I recall the year was 2012, September in fact.

    Some of us were able to jump in right away. Others however, had an accurate need to know how long the special would last. They were told no longer than first quarter 2013. So they scrambled to find a way to make the purchase whether it was in their best financial interest or not...

    The idea was that we "early birds" would enjoy a sizable discount, receive are Violins right away, and the rest of the strings as they became available. (DISASTER)

    VSL did not have the servers then, they have now. Violins took 3 days to download. The second piece, Cellos, arrived (9 months later, in June 2013). Yes they were easy to download but that early bird special... Was still going on. 

    Violas arrived (6 months after that, in January 2014). Sadly, the so called early bird special turned out to not be so special afterall, as it had not yet expired.

    Finally the Basses came online July 2014 (7 months after Violas, 11months after Cellos, and nearly 2 years after Violins).

    I am convinced we won't go through that again. But I purchased week one then and I've purchased week one now. I don't enjoy spending money before I have too.

     

    As always, Greetings from Hollywood.
