  • I was at Westlake tonight.  Got to hear a piece with the full library in an ATMOS room.  Absolutely incredible.

    Somewhere in the back a person spoke up saying that they play in the philharmonic every day and that the authenticity is indistinguishable.  I agree.

    One question I didn't get to ask: I noticed you had the Synchron Player as an insert in Logic.... but it can be an insert in VEPro6 right?  If not, then how will that work with networked computers?


  • Hi Stephen,

    Thanks for joining us yesterday, it was great to see so many friendly faces!

    Synchron Player works as AU/VST/VST3/AAX plug-in, of course also in VE PRO 6. I will keep you in the loop as we approach the release. Testing is going very well, and those last minute adjustments always pay off!

  • Hi Paul,

    you wanted to talk about True Dynamics, but missed it (or I missed it.) What does this feature do?

    Will there be a demonstration video soon for Synchron Player? I still don't know how this player works, e. g. the legato auto-speed or how you can combine/stack articulations.

    Thanks.


  • Just watched the video.

    Did that guy in the first row cover his ears through the presentation? :D

    I hope we'll get some more videos with better sound.

    I was there, 2nd row center (just off camera) and in my opinion it was much too loud most of the time.

    The video screen is gorgeous live but brutally washed on camera. Surprising as I noticed Leica lenses on their very nice cameras.

    Westlake should release editied pieces of the presentation soon including better audio.

    Hi guys, 

    Westlake Pro has also captured my screen during presentation and will most probably upload a better version of the presentation.

    There will be more videos with more details from me, but it will take some more time. 

    Glad to see that you are as excited as we are ðŸ˜Š

    Best,

  • Paul & Steffan,

     

    It was a pleasure to have finally met you all. You were each very generous with your time and frankly, treated me like a king.

    Steffan, Thanks for the great conversation and the (Vienna Pro) T-Shirt and Lanyard.

    Paul, Thanks for allowing me access during set up. Enjoyed your presentation. Absolutley loved the Synchron Player, and as you said "Better to keep the player's launch date conservative."

    Shout out to Martin who is NEVER in the chatroom.... It was nice meeting you as well.

     

    As always... Greetings from Hollywood.

    Mike B.

    Complete Synchron Strings I.???????????????


  • Hi, 

    Thanks. Second violins and violas will be completed in the middle of February, then the double basses will follow a few weeks later (=asap).

  • Thank you very much


  • Hi Paul

    Will it be possible to change the background colors of the Synchron Player ? I'm visually impaired and the actual colors are too bright for me. With VI Pro, I'm able to invert the colors thanks to Apple's accessibility tools and it works really well. But I've tried to do the same thing with the picture of the Synchron Player in the new catalog but it doesn't really work. So that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

    Kind regards

    David


  • Hi David, 

    The background color is actually depnding on a picture you can load... without a bacground picture, the "naked" player is grey.

  • Great! Thank you very much.

  • Currently the multimicrophone setup, which makes Synchron-Series interesting for its detailed mixable real acoustic, makes it a bit tedious to change settings in the single VI- which just plays back one microphoneposition of an articulation. Yes I can put all microphone positions on the same midichannel and let them work parallel triggered by the same signal as far as I do not change any of the presetsettings in any of that single players.

    When ever I would decide to change any player settings generally and not triggered by an midisignal for instance the general releastime, things will be multiplicated by the amount of microphone positions in use. I am (at least when working with the regular VI) forced to change every setting for every patch in every microphone position again. which seems to me very tedious and redundant in short not very userfriendly. I hope you already realised that problem and found an answer in the synchron-player to come.

    So here is my question:

    Will the Synchronplayer allow it to change any Playersetting likewise "synchron" for all microphonepositions in use?

    If not this would be a feauture your software developer should definitly think about.


  • Hi, 

    Settings applied to a cell will be applied to all further cells in the following tree-branch structure.

  • I am not sure if you understood my question right.

    What you said seems to me already the case with the current VI-Player. Nevertheless I do have currently very large and complex VE-Project-Presets with own VI's for each microphoneposition of an "Instrument" to cover and controle the multimicrophonesetup of the  Synchron series.

    For pure the Articulationsselection this is not the problem, since all seperate VI-players can be controled parallel with the same midisignals since the different articulation are always in the same cellposition.

    However if I would like to raise the release time for the first Violins I have to raise it at least as often as much different microphoneposition are in use what means for the Full-Library Sur-Stereo Setup I must change thge same setting 7 times. and If i would like to raise it in alll strings (1 Vl, 2, Vl Vla, Vc Kb) I have to do this 35 times just for a little general increase of the release time. This is redundant.

    It would be much more  comfortable If I could do my settings per instrument and would not be forced to repeat them per microphoneposition. But that would mean, that part of the very complex VE-Synchron-Series-Presets must be integrated in the player, so that the user does handle just the 1. Violins if he want to chnage any Playersetting  for the first Violins and is not forced to repeat all he wants to do always for each further Microphoneposition.

    You know that most other multimicrophone-Samplelibraries do have the Microphonemix as part of the instrumentpatch intergretated in their player. I just ask if (and hope that) you have thought about that to for your new Synchronplayer since the Luxury of the Amount of mixable Synchronseries Microphonepositions deserves a userfriendly non redundant handling.
