  • New library updates - what has changed?

    Hi,

    Today Vienna Assistant is showing me new updates of a bunch of different libraries:

    • BBO Ganymede
    • Synchron Duality (regular)
    • Synchron Woodwinds
    • Synchron Brass
    • Synchron Duality Virtuoso
    • Synchron Drums I
    • Synchron Mallets I

    I'm going to install these now, but is there any way to find out what has changed? There doesn't seem to be a changelog like there is for new versions of the Synchron Player and things like that.


  • You're right, I noticed the same.

    The changelogs are saying nothing about updates in May 2024, especially Synchron Brass, which had an update file of over a GB.

    https://www.vsl.info/de/instruments/changelogs/sy-brass

    It looks like a bug to me, like Vienna Assistent sometimes forgets the version of the installed products, and therefore displays updates to install. I had to reinstall Synchon Duality Strings recently (it showed as "unistalled"), and I paused the process in the middle because I had to leave. When I restarted the computer, all notifications were gone and the libraries were installed perfectly.


  • Hi!
    These library updates fix some faulty loops in the samples. We will add this information to the changelogs soon.
    Best regards,

    Thanks, andi. How about the VSL for Dorico? I notice that that was updated as well on May 6. It would be great to get some information as to what has changed as in some cases I have made my own maps that are slight variations on the VSL maps.


  • Hi mducharme!

    Here is the changelog for the VSL for Dorico Installer.

    - Updated Duality Strings Expr. Maps and Endpoint Config for Expansion.
    - Added three "Virtuoso" articulations (Martele, Ricochet and Saltando) to Duality Strings Maps.
    - Fixed Endpoint Config "SYzd SE 1 - Brass". Wrong presets have been loaded for some instruments.

    Best regards,
    Andi

    Thanks very much andi! In the future is there some place I can find this changelog online so that I don't have to ask?

    I'm not sure. I will have to talk about that with my colleagues.

    Hi Andi,

    The Horn 2 Lyrical Legato seems to be broken now with these latest Brass updates. I now get a big red "X" in that slot. The Horn 1 Lyrical Legato is fine.


  • Just in case, I tried removing Synchron Brass, deleting the folder for it, and reinstalling. Same issue. So I think the issue is with the Brass update and not just on my system.

    I'm having the same issue. Lyrical legato from Horn 2 is missing since the last update.


  • Hi mducharme and Guin!

    I must confirm the issue with Horn 2 Lyrical legato. We will look into it. If you need this patch now, you can delete the following file in the meantime:
    Synchron-Brass_12Horn2_Patches_Update05.syvolume

    Sorry for the inconvenience and best regards,
    Andi

    Is there any news on this? I can't find any changelogs that would detail what in the Synchron libraries was updated recently. I already installed them without knowing about these problems, but the detail would be helpful for me to decide whether to actually use the updates.

  • Hello DaddyO!

    I have written earlier in this thread what the library updates were for. We will release a further Synchron Brass library update which fixes the broken lyrical legato very soon.

    Best regards,

    Yes, Andi, thanks.
