The panning issue has been resolved. It's resolved by downloading two improved mic samples (mid1 and mid2) to replace the original ones.The smaller update files address the clicking issues and whatever else is in the secret sauce the makes the Bösendorfer Imperial awesome!
Excactly.
Thanks David and bbelius,
Where do you have this info from, and where are these two files available?
All I am seeing under MyVSL/Synchron Library Updates is Boesendorfer Imperial Library Update 01.
This only includes:
Y18_Boesendorfer_Imperial_Stereo_Update01_SPv1_w1.vsldownload and Y18_Boesendorfer_Imperial_Additional_Update01_SPv1_w1.vsldownload
I did see a V2 in front of the main library downloads, but I assumed V2 simply includes Update 01, especially since I could not find any mention of the panning fixes anywhere. The release notes only mention the C2 fix.
Do I need to download the V2s mid1 and mid2?
Thanks

Good question... 😎
We replaced the original download files because putting two mics into an update would not only fill up your disk space but also result in higher traffic on our download servers each time someone purchases this piano.
If you read the e-mail curefully and follow the instructions everything should work just fine 😊
Thank you David and Ben, I really appreciate your help.
Somehow, that email landed in my spam folder. I only knew about the update because I saw it in MyVSL, where there was no mention about the mid1/2 and the panning fixes.
Anyway, I've updated mid1 and 2 and these are now good.
I was really hoping for a similar fix on close1 though.
While the panning on close1 is definitely not as problematic as it was on the mids, I was really hoping for a panning update on this too. These are harder to spot, but the issues are there and I hear them every time.
I am talking about panning jumps between D2-D#2 and G2-G#2. In order to hear them, only have the close1 loaded and maybe turn off the reverb. Run an A Major scale starting from A1 to A2 and back. Headphones.
Same thing C4-C#4.
Other than that, the mid1 and mid2 are now good to go, thanks VSL for the update.
Hi cuzzinlouie,
I can spot what you hear... but I believe that is due to the recording situation / placement of the mics. This could have to do with the placement of the piano braces, for example.
I don't see it as a mistake, you'd get such mini deviations in every recording situation.
Best,
Paul
