holy f**k!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Superb, this is truly worth the wait and plus a new Synchron player... thank you Lord (Paul!). lol

Great sound! Question on one of the pieces. In Christof's demo, it sounds as if he is not using legato. Slight detaché articulations instead? I hear separation between notes in most of the piece. Thanks.

So these demos are without EQs, Comressors, Limiters, MIRs, Reverbs, just pur, pur, pur?

If not then please do it once more without any effect please so that we only can hear the library...

Thanks!

All the best

Hi Beat,

I can't speak for Christoph but my demo has some stage recording MIRacle. No EQ at all.

I think most demos are presented with some reverb to help unify it and it's also important to show how it would sound in a more finished mix to not give a wrong impression.  

However, in the folowing days I'll be posting some simple melodies, with and without rev.

Guy

Many thanks for your help, Guy ! We would really appreciate simple melodies too.

Thanks Guy for your work.

It will be also very interesting to have a version of the piece played with VEP and String, another with VEP and Dimension String

That's really to much work to ask to Guy! 😖

I would suggest The Nutcracker.

The whole Nutcracker? No problem, that demo would be ready by approximately 2021.

More demos will come. 

But regarding alternative versions, demos are not meant to be dissected, re-mixed or re-arranged with other libraries, this isn't my job, the objective for me is to show how a piece could sound with with synchron strings. What I can say is that the piece was written using a bit of MIRacle. I'm working on other demos which will give more variety and hope to post soon, however you may have to wait for Paul's walk through for specific kinds of demonstrations.

The Hatchling (with no percussion)

Overall, I think layering Synchron with Chamber Strings is basically just a must. It just must happen.

Why?  I think they sound fine just the way they are.  However maybe some solos would add a little kick to em' 

You know it's interesting, I thought the release of Synchron Strings would make "layering" obsolete but it has apparently become yet another ingredient in our beloved "strings recipes."  You take some App Strings mix in some chambers a touch of Synchron and just a dash of solos and there you have it😊 A wickedly sweet string concoction for your ears to feast upon.  But if spicy is more your taste then replace the chambers with  Dim Strings mutes. 

But Sean does bring up a good point here and that is layering has really become an art form by itself and even the mighty Syn;chron Strings won't change that.  There is just something about layering strings that make the strings come alive in a mix and everybody has there own way of layering (recipes).  I've experimented with creating two viola sections instead of violins and others layer mutes in their strings with even some, dare I say it, synths😔

Were any legato presets used in either of these demos?

May we get an answer for this question? Thank you.

Thanks to Christof for this beautyful demo, this immediately triggered the purchase :)

The first calm part is sounding absolutely marvelous! 

For better mixng -  can we expect a Synchron MIRx soon?

Keep up the great work!

If "Spring 2018" still counts as "soon", then the answer is yes! 😊

I am a slow amateur, so more than enough for me!

When I suggested The Nutcracker, I never intended anyone to produce a recording of the complete score. There are string passages that would be good for demonstraton purposes. If nothing else, when I get my copy of the new Synchron Strings, I might put something together. The Overture Miniature opens with only strings, however they are divsi. 

Another good excerpt would be from "Hertz und Tat und Mund und Leben" by Johann Sebatian Bach. The Chorale is usually translated as "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".

I really hope we see divisi for Synchron Strings II. I might as well ask for the World too while I'm at it!

Oh, I'm a little bit late to the Synchron Strings demo thread - a worker cut my internet line about a month ago, and then it was fixed, but  then last week a bulldozer clearing area for a cabin to be built, ripped up a NBN internet cable through which I was connected, but I'm finally back on the net again with my own computer, but had the internet on where I work part time so I  managed to hear the demo's when first released, ....oh, wow - this string library is just awesome sounding😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Beautifully clear and so expressive. Oh, it is a definitely "I must have this" sample library.

Thanks for the demo's Guy and Christof. I love what you've created with these strings. Fantastic work both of you.

VSL - take a bow and enjoy the applause! Well done. What an amazing sound you have created! As soon as I heard the sounds I loved them straight away, and my mind started buzzing with all of the things I could do with the sound of these strings. Thank you VSL!

best,

Steve 😃
