3 +1 Vouchers ordered. Once received I will follow with Synchron Woodwinds.
This is an unexpected Christmas treat. If it wasn't for the voucher deal I probably would not have been able to do it.
Hi everybody,
I'm afraid we never talk about unreleased products. Lessons learned 😊.
The BBO Woodwinds have been integrated with all velocity layers, we have just slightly adapted the preset structure to allign it with the Synchron logic.

Just installing it. Congrats to the whole VSL team for having produced all orchestral sections for Synchron in just over a year, and that too during the pandemic! Given VSL quality and attention to detail, that is quite an achievement! I’m glad you made the call to release Synchron Woodwinds now and not wait a few more weeks/months for the 2nd solo instruments to be ready. And the vouchers are a very nice bonus.
If I can be greedy, my Synchron cup would be complete if you released Synchron harps, followed by con sordino expansions…

Yes, thank you VSL for releasing the library now, even without the 2nd solo instruments. This is a great Christmas gift.

Hi Paul,
I can't find anywhere info regarding the amount of recorder velocity layers for Synchron Woodwinds, why it's not advertised?
Hi lupine,
With our Synchron Series, we’ve established a new approach in terms of velocity layers, which is also supported by our timbre shift technology that allows gradual access to so many additional nuances of each velocity layer.
Any musical coloring between traditional layers is possible, by taking advantage of new technologies that grow as we improve our software and recording approaches over time.

Hi Paul,
I don't understand: how many velocity layers have been recorded for Synchron Woodwinds?
And what timbre adjust does? It's an artificial filtering/eq?
Hi Gabriele,
We have introduced our Timbre Adjust with Synchron Brass, and it works very well with all of our libraries.
From that moment on, our perspective on velocity layers as a "benchmark" for the quality of sampled instruments changed a bit. That's why we're not advertising this number anymore.

That makes a lot of sense. In light of that...is there anything we can do to automatically tie together say velocity xf with the timbre adjust so that we can just program one curve that tends to do the right thing regarding both level and timbre?
Paul, Ben, and VSL Team:
You nailed it. The fast legatos are crisp and clean (super important for WW), the timbre control + other controls give such flexibility in controlling dynamics, the crossfades are MUCH improved over the VI versions, the vibrato options are very well designed, and...well, yeah, it's great! Fantastic workhorse library. Can't wait for the second solo instrument releases! (I'm glad you're taking your time with those - better to do it well later than do a rushed job earlier, in my humble opinion).
I'm curious: were the fast legato patches in this library recorded and programmed in a similar way to the Synchron Strings Pro agile patches? I understand if you can't answer due to proprietary whatever, but...whatever you're doing, it's working!

Yes, just set the CC to the same controller, go to the Control tab and tweak the curves (if you don't want an 1:1 relation).

Thanks, great to hear you love the library!
I don't know the exact details of how it was achieved, but yes, the fast legato patches behave in a similar way like the Agile patches.

excellent thanks. I didn't think of using the control tab to tweak the ratios between XF and timbre...very very cool!
