My sincere expectation is that Syncron Strings will come out as a full string section in December, because my expectation is high for VSL, both in quality and customer service.

"It seems like some people (according to their reactions) misred my previous - admittetly a little bit exaggerated - post" -vienna-j
vienna-j :
Oh really? I didn't "misred" anything you wrote.
btw - learn a little something about spelling and writing in the English language - let alone music - before you lecture people - and composers - who speak English.
Vienna-j, please continue posting. Not all users will try and belittle you like this.
Wow, all the overreaction in this thread. If you're that upset by it, return it. Get a refund. Move on. And maybe this will be a good moment of learning about what early birds and early releases really mean in the world of tech. They're a risky gamble. Now you know, and you can be better informed in the future.

Exactly. It is a sample library, not a cure for cancer. Knowing VSL, it will be a very good one but when it comes out, it will not change your life in any meaningful way, and if you think it does, you need to re-examine your priorities.
And if it never came out, you still should be able to make quality music with the many you probably already have.
Worry more about getting better with using what you have and less about timetables and details about upcoming libraries is my advice, which of course, everyone is free to disregard 😊
Hello, Do you have any ideas when you will launch the new synchron strings 1 product. I ordered since around one month and I have no news, except your last Email where you said that it would be launch end of november ... Unfortunatly we will be in decembrer tomorrow ... Thank you for your understanding Best regards

I will rather not buy this until I can hear more of it.
How many times do you buy new jeans that you couldn't see or try yet, just heard they are going to be great?
Relax a little, it's not good for your heart to get so upset by other's posts 😊
DEMOS ARE UP!!!
I am of course messing with everyone. The tension is unfortunately still very high with impatience and boiling brains. Perhaps Synchron actually is a cure for cancer. I'd believe it. We can all choose to encourage instead of insult. Rudeness is a cycle only broken by choosing to be better to others even (and especially) if they choose to be worse in return. Otherwise, who among us "would not be the sufferer"? Please forgive the sermon. Maybe we can all act like adults and talk about Synchron instead.
Speaking of samples... What I'm most interested in so far.
I hope the video demonstrates the short note versitility as I'm rarely content with short notes in any library out there. Kontakt's TS-Pro algorithm is the closest I've come to being satisfied and I'm not really that satisfied with it. So any examples would be appreciated.

I do not often post here, however II thought I would add my two cents worth. The company VSL has provided me with the best samples out there and fantastic customer service since its inception way back when. The fact that they even offer an early bird option is a reflection of their attitude towards their user base.. How on earth is it possible in this day and age to be upset about a delay of a few weeks concerning a really big release and a new direction for VSL. I am in fact simply plain excited and looking forward to the happy day when this library arrives.
Take your time VSL and know that there are many users who are simply in awe of the incredible high standard you set concerning sample generated orchestral sounds.
"Until now there are no realistic string libraries on the market, they all sound like a synth. So I will rather not buy this until I can hear if it's better than the others to simulate a string orchestra. " - Mcarnes
Is that a joke?

" - Mcarnes Is that a joke?No, show me one library that sounds like a real string orchestra? I certainly hope this one will.
Each string library has positive/negative aspects, but it seems that you are looking for the real thing.
This will never happen because it is simply impossible.You can get close to it, but you can't expect a perfect simulation from any sampling company.And as a performer I have to say that I am glad about this fact.

Well, I'm sure most companies are aiming for the real sound, if not they wouldn't put so much work in this. But of course, it is very difficult when it comes to strings, next after choirs I guess. That's why I'm excited to see some demos soon.

Imho in discussions like that arguing with the "real" thing seems to be a more or less esoteric matter:
Do you really want "the real thing" so be ready for all its "real" shortcomings. In reality there are very much orchestras only very few of them do really sound as excellent and brilliant as we do expect it from the predominance of recordings made by the most oustanding Orchestras. (Not to mention how tedious it is to realise with a more or less average orchestra conseqently what your musical imagination might inspire.
On the other hand samplelibraries are part of our current reality, it seem to me a bit unrealistic to dispute them their reality. However their individual problems and potentials might be.
Having said that I am not interested in arguments based on any more or less idealistic understandig of what ever some one believe he must demand the "reality" should be. What I am looking for are "good" samples, what means samples which allow me in the most convincing way to realise musical ideas. I am quite optimisitic that the VSL-Experience is a pretty good fundament to create musical reasonable and versatile samplelibraries. For me they already belong to the by far most convincig with what they have done. And if they need the time to keep their high quality standard, I am happy that they do nothing in any premature way, this is what I do expect most.

Nonsense, there are already a bunch of them that do not sound synthy if you know how to write for them and program them. This will no doubt be one more.
