I got the new solo violin and cello. Overall, they sound very good. It appears that the legato patches are softer than many of the other articulations. I hope there is an easy way to get the legato playing to match the rest of the instrument in terms of volume.

I cannot find a way to play progressive vibrato. How is this made possible? Is there a Manuel for the violin? Perhaps reading through this material will help me with some new features.

Did the open strings get recorded? I only hear the open G and C on the instruments.

I really like the sound quality and warmth.

Is there a ponticello switch hidden there somewhere?

Hello esperlad and PSS!

Progressive vibrato, open strings and sul ponticello are not included in Synchron Solo Strings.

@PSS: You can disregard the error message that you have posted. We have explained it in our tutorial.
https://www.vsl.info/en/tutorials/guides/dorico-integration/quickguide#installation

Please create a Vienna Assistant Support file and send it to us. Then we can take a closer look why Synchron Solo Strings and Synchron Percussion 3 are not displayed for you in the Dorico Wizard. Here's how you can create a support file.

Anyway, did you try what I have suggested and uncheck "Installed products only"? This way you can show and enable all libraries that we have Dorico settings for.

Best regards,
Andi

Sent the file, thanks.

"Installed products only" checkbox makes no difference to list content.

"Installed products only" checkbox

I don't think this checkbox is functional. I don't have Synchron Strings I installed, but it doesn't show up when I uncheck the box.

Also, in the message box you get when opening the Wizard is also non functional. Checking it to not see the message about deleting unused templates doesn't produce that result.

Hello again!

The "Installed products only" checkbox is fully functional on all the computers we have tested it with.
@PSS: Please send a screenshot what Dorico Wizard looks like when you uncheck this box. Please reply to the auto-response that you have received.
@Bill: There are no settings for Synchron Strings I. So it's normal that this library doesn't get added to the list.

@PSS: It's completely off-topic, but as you have brought it up here. It's no bug that "Mallets" gets listed twice under "Sizzle Zil. K 18". Only one kind of mallets has been recorded here. To keep the keyswitches compatible, it has been added twice.

Best regards,
Andi

Sorry about that off-topic question.

Hello Michael!

At the following link you can see an explanation about this message.
https://www.vsl.info/en/tutorials/guides/dorico-integration/quickguide#installation

If you don't change the assigned playback template of your Dorico project and don't save your project, I guess the warning message will re-appear until you save the Dorico project. Anyway, this is a message by Dorico that we don*t have any influence on.

Best regards,
Andi

Do we will get Sul-ponte and sul-tasto articulations in future ? I missing them very much as well as the possibility to play microtonality.... I'm still stick on the VI for this reason but plan to switch progressively all my collection to Synchron but really need this missing things !
