Is Vienna Instruments Pro headed for obsolescence?

[Raymonde]

With the coming migration to Silicon Native, will Vienna Instruments and the Pro Player be put out to pasture, not supported, headed for obsolescence?

Why does Vienna Symphonic Library have to approach Apple for a player? 

How things have changed.

It seems like the emphasis is on Synchron and Synchron-ized products and Vienna Instrument users are being told in a subtle manner that we should get ready to give up on the 'love of our life'.   😢

If I had known the extent of the life period for the Vienna Instrument libraries, I would have reconsidered purchasing them.

My sentiments exactly.

I use VI with MIR PRO 3D,

Synch.. instrument does not have the Perf patches !

I find the sound much more delicate using the VI instruments

[Dewdman42]

due to popular demand, they have ported viPro to Apple Silicon already. I think it will be around, but probably won't get any/many feature updates rolling forward.

I hope that the problem with long solo string notes is going to be fix, if not I will not buy anymore VSL library

What problems with Solo Strings? VI series?

[Cyril Blanc]

The solo string are not looped ! they are one shot sampled

This is not a "problem" and therefore will not be "fixed", as the library works as intended.

If you need longer sustains you can either

- re-trigger the note while holding the sustain pedal
- upgrade to SYNCHRON-ized Solo Strings which includes looped variants.

[Cyril Blanc]

This is the joke of the day, !! Shame on VSL

I AM VERY DISAPOINTED

How can you say : "it works as intended" have you ever seen a violonist with a sustain pedal ?

You need to provide a sustain pedal to all your violonist😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

What is a double problem is you need to defined the number of notes of the repetition depending on how hard the bow is played !

In addition, there is no upgrade Path to get Synchron String ; you need to pay another 740€, you take your loyal clients for gogos

I have Spitfire Demo ; the solo string are making perfect loop without a sustain pedal, listen to the demo I have send to Marnix

I wanted to insert the test I made but the new editor does not reconize MP3 on Mac

There is an upgrade path to get Synchron-ized Solo Strings:

Crossgrade Prices

Crossgrade price for users of Solo Strings I Standard Library:	€465
Crossgrade price for users of Solo Strings I Full Library:	€335
Crossgrade price for users of Solo Strings I Full Library, Solo Violin 2, Solo Cello 2:	€205

It was the VERY low crossgrade costs from VI series to Syzd that enticed me. It was pretty much a no-brainer to make the small investment towards securing future development and support of these libraries. If I was able to catch the crossgrade during an introductory sale, which I did with Solo Strings, it was next to nothing.

[Cyril Blanc]

I have upgrade my VI Solo string to Solo String Synchron-ized when It was availlable, months ago.

I was intending no to use Synchron-ized libraries because I use MIR PRO 3D.

I have check that Solo String Synchron-ized are looped so the problem is solved.😀

Why not fixing VI Solo String ? it's VSL reputation !

Are they other instruments that has the same problem ?

The Synchron-ized libraries work great with MIR PRO 3D. Go into the "MIXERPRESET" tab and choose the "MIR Unprocessed" mixer preset:

That turns off all reverb and processing in the Synchron player so that you can do the processing in MIR instead - soundwise it makes it essentially identical to using the VI player.

I have moved completely from VI libraries to Synchron-ized, and I use them all in MIR PRO 3D with this "MIR Unprocessed" mixer preset.

[Cyril Blanc]

I did know this,

why do I keep using VI instead of Synchron... is because of the perf_leg patches
