Hi Eloy,
We are definitely getting closer.
We will announce the release only when we are ready.
Really sorry to keep you all waiting like this, it is a bigger task than we hoped, and it will turn out great.
But it really takes everything we have to make this player the foundation for our upcoming products.
The Synchron Pianos has helped a lot with optimization, and we are thriving on that.
Thanks for bearing with us!
Paul
Thank you for the update.
Will VSl be doing anything to address the legato? I honestly can't believe that you or VSL as a whole are happy with how the legato has turned out. It pales in comparison to even something as old as your own original strings library that i have in the special edition set!
What went wrong? Will you be re-recording the transitions/legato part of the library? It would seem odd to have this series as your new flagship product with the legato being so much worse than the competition.
I know this sounds harsh but it is about time we all faced facts and were honest (even VSL themselves). The legato is no good. It is unnatural. Somehow the attacks after each transition are too much; so much so that it barely sounds like a legato instrument at all.
It would be such a shame to resign the rest of the library to obscurity because of this, as the actual sound, tone and other articulations sound gorgeous.
We are all musicians and we all know what sounds good and what doesnt, and it is time to be brutally honest. There is something wrong with the legato. You know it and i know it and anyone musical who listens to a piece with legato transitions using Synchron knows it as well.
It is hard to believe any professional or even hobbyist will be using the Synchron series as a whole for their main orchestra due to this so i would have thought it would be in VSL's interest to re-do/re-record the legato part of the library.
