    Did you manage to make it work ?

    What is the trick ?

    It will be great to have a standalone version 😉

    Hi,

    I downloaded Vienna Smart Orchestra and the latest Player Software. Both installed but I am not able to run the Vienna Smart Orchestra nor to start the player. Vienna Smart Orchestra is registered in the eLicense Key. For the player, I cannot find it in the eLicense-USB-Key. Am I missing a thing here or do I need some other software or libraries to run VSO? Thanks for helping.

  • Just Insert Plugin and choose Synchron player. What's so hard about that?

    There's no standalone version.

  • Hi Bill

    Where is the plug-in

    Where do you insert the plug-in ?

    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Hi Cyril, 

    Synchron Player is simply another AU plug-in, should appear in your sequencer right away. 

    Simple workaround to use it as a standalone: Vienna Ensemble / PRO. 

    If it doesn't show up in Logic, try to validate it manually in Logic's Plug-in Manager. 

    And if that doesn't work, you can celar your Audio Unit cache like this (it will make Logic rebuild it's plug-in Au cache): 

    1) In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.

    2) Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to the folder" field.

    3) Press the Go button. Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file. Remove the ~/Library/Caches/AudioUnitCache folder.

    EDIT: Are you on High Sierra, by any chance?

    Best,

  • Just watched your YT videos... is the smart orchestra a new front end to the Cube instruments or are these different samples?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Paul, thanks for the info.

    However I did not realy understood what VSO is.

    Is it just a setup utilizing already purchased libraries or you packed the Syncroon library in to a simple new box?

    Will I download a new library (samples) or only software which combines older and new samples?

    In the sample content there is no number indicating the volume in GB as usual. Therefore my questions.

    Please advise

  • Is there a Sibelius sound set for this? I'd like to be able to specify e.g. strings, winds, brass in the mixer and then use articulation markings in the score.

    There's not much here, just a few simple key switches, so I can take a stab at making a sound set if there's nothing available or coming soon. I figured I'd check in with the experts first though :)


  • 1) Is it possible to run Smart Orchestra and Special Edition simultaneously in Cubase? To be able to have a layer done with VSO "topped" or enriched by certain instruments, etc. of VSE?

    2) Am i forced (in VSO) to have (for example the strings or strings+wood) sections always play unisono (violins, violas, celli, bass, ...) or can i do arrangements with separate voices (v, v, c, b, ...)?

    Or do i maybe have a conceptual misunderstanding (of VSO) here in both questions?

    Thanks for  advice,

    Andy

    Hi,

    @Yannis Saoulis:

    1) Is it just a setup utilizing already purchased libraries or you packed the Syncroon library in to a simple new box?
    => It's a simple new box.

    2) Will I download a new library (samples) or only software which combines older and new samples?
    => It is a new library.

    3) In the sample content there is no number indicating the volume in GB as usual. Therefore my questions.
    => Here you go, 9.92 GB on your harddrive (4 GB to download)

    @patmaddox: Not sure if the VSO Soundset is already in the current Sibelius Soundsets Download, but I know that Andreas has been working on it.

    @songdiver:

    1) Is it possible to run Smart Orchestra and Special Edition simultaneously in Cubase? To be able to have a layer done with VSO "topped" or enriched by certain instruments, etc. of VSE?

    =>Absolutely. No problem.

    2) Am i forced (in VSO) to have (for example the strings or strings+wood) sections always play unisono (violins, violas, celli, bass, ...) or can i do arrangements with separate voices (v, v, c, b, ...)?

    => All sections are pre-arranged and come with different involvement of the bass instruments (2 lowest octaves with additional bass instruments, 1 lowest octave and no bass instruments).
    => Additionally, you can use the Solo Legato instruments, also for the violins.

    Best,
    Paul

    Does Vienna Smart Orchestra work with Soft-eLicenser?

    Just looking for a yes or no answer. 😝


  • Hello gabegarza1021!

    Our products don't work with Soft-eLicenser in general. You will need a Vienna Key or a compatible eLicenser key.

    Andi,

    That's for the reply and I'll make sure to get The Vienna key. I don't want to take a chance on getting the wrong eLicenser key if certian ones are in-compatible. 😝

    Yay! Thank you 😊


  • Hello!

    I already have VSL Special Collection Vol. 1 and 2. What's the purpose of Smart Orchestra? What can it do that the other ones can't?

    Hi Leander,

    Check out the videos of the Vienna Smart Orchestra, that should show the differences in the best way.

    Clean organization, designed for instant writing / playing, with an integrated mixer.

  • Hi, i am having constant crashes in Cubase Pro 9.5 (also checked with Cubase 8.5 & Dorico 2 with same results) as soon as any midi note is played. Unfortunately i was not aware that a SSD  disk is needed , there is not one in my pc, only HDD (my fault). 

    I also tried changing my Synchron Player SETTINGS => Engine to 16,384 samples and higher, same result

    VSO is not crashing in Reaper only in Steiberg programs it seems.

    I read somewhere that you have a refund policy within a month of purchase,is this true? I bought the library yesterday from your webshop. As i work with Steinberg products mainly. i am afraid that i won't be able to use it for now....

    My specs: Windows 10 Home | i7 3770k | Intel DZ77BH-55K | 32GB | Asus AMD 6450 | RME HDSPe AiO | Cubase Pro 9.5 | Wavelab Pro 9.5 | Dorico Pro 2| NI Komplete 11 | VSL Special Editions |


  • After further investigation and trying things, i can make it work in Cubase through Vienna Ensemble.

    I believe it was supposed to work as any VSTi, am i right?

    I will further test it this way, but for the time being i am ok with this setting.Thank god i have this option
