    I would like to use the snare drum and Prime's unpitched percussion in Dorico. But it seems there are no Expression Maps defined in the downloads that VSL offers. How can I access those instruments? Are you planning on updating the Dorico temple?

    Thank you!

    Hi rowild,

    I just checked here and the Synchron Prime Edition playback template correctly loads the unpitched percussion instruments as intended. Please double-check that you have set the Prime Edition playback template.

    Kind regards & Happy Holidays,
    Andreas

    Hi, Andreas!

    Thank you so very much for your fast response! Very much appreciated!!!

    Of course I wasn't aware that I had to look under "Percussion maps" in Dorico (being new to all this). Now everything works fine with my Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 & SY Prime setup! And wow - that makes so much fun!!!

    I do have a "first play hiccup" issue, it seems. Whenever I play my score for the first time, it is never played back fully, but with audible "holes". It seems Synchron Player or Dorico or who/whatever is still loading samples. The second time this does not happen. I know that the 16GB of a Macbook Pro, M1, is not too much for sound like this, but my score is not really big and I run the library from a really fast NVMe. (And Synchron Player also advertises with being resource friendly.)

    Do I maybe have to change settings in Synchron Player a specific manner? Or Dorico? Currently I am running in the factory settings.

    I wish you super fine holidays, too!

    Hello rowild!

    Depending on your Synchron Player settings, some or all articulations only get loaded to RAM, when they first get triggered. As a consequence some notes will not be audible at first playback. You have the following options.

    - When you save you project and reload it the next time, all articulations that have already been triggered the last time, will be loaded instantly and play back instantly.

    - With the Synchron Player option "Force enable all slots", you can always load all patches of your presets to RAM. This way all articulations will always be played instantly. Turning this option on will need more RAM. Here is the entry in the manual.
