    After the two demos last week it has gone awfully quiet again. I'd appreciate a short update on how things are standing now. If you don't plan a release between Christmas and New Year it is only the next week left in December.

    I would bet, that the silence means that they cannot deliver the Player in the next 10 days. I worked 3 times with softwaredevelopers and learned that they never keep their promised deadlines. Never! Especially under this pressure. Let's see. I say we get the product - last minute - but only the vienna instrument version ... :) I would be fine with that, cause I'm realistic and I know that situation.

    I assume this is just the risk of Early Announcements and Early Bird Offers. The chance that something unexpected coming up is too big (especially when new player + new library comes together)

    However I am convinced that it will be worth waiting for! (But if we get Taiko Drums as compensation I would not complain 😉)

    P.S.: I used to be software developer, and sometimes kept my time estimations.

    Any news on the progress? Eight working days left in December. I don't mind the delay, but communication could definitely be improved.

    Hi,

    I simply HAD to make a Sneak Peek Video when I had the complete Synchron Cellos in my hands... Hope you like it!

    Our newsletter will be on its way to you soon, with more details about the upcoming release! And of course there will be more videos as well.

    Best,

    A Wurli and a Korg Vocoder?! Oh Paul, what have you done in the 80ties 😛

    Cresc + Dim Velocity (Duration) Crossfade sounds interesting.

    It seems in general that VSL have done now several things for the user, what he theoretically already has been able to before, while it was for many users presumably more tedious to programm the presets in that way than just to make use of the VSL-Presets or load only those patches which are acttually needed. However the organizing Ideas behind still seem to me always musical reasonable. (Even the "changing bowposition"-X-Fade while to be consequent this would need sulponticello patches to - BTW would it be possible to crossfade more than two patches?)

    Still I am pretty curious for the Synchron-Player.

    Very well done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

     

    I think so that replacment of portamento with slurred legato is not a good idea. Although most legato technique is required for slurred performance, but no body will be satisfied with slurred legato without any portamento technique..!

    Aftermore, I think that at this point a few articulations are missing such as espressivo legato, staccato, marcato and spiccato exposed as well as sul-pont. and sul-tasto..!!!

    Easily the best legato I've ever heard from a string sample library.

    Hi Paul, this is BIG Cinema (you Techno-Freak! ... an Access Virus ... yeahhhhhh!!!) Synchron Strings 1 are a BIG Product! I agree with HSM1 about Porta VS. Slurred. Portamento sounds more emotional and intense. But adding the intense Portamento of other Libs like Appassionata or DimStrings will be the way to solve it. Thank you. Are you in your home or at Synchron (Back)Stage?

    Thank you for the update Paul. Looking forward to the release, the celli sound very good in the walkthrough video.

    Hi VSL,

    Why you do such low musical quality demo audio and video files for Sy Strings? Regular users will buy this library anyway, without thanking, but contrary to this video file with, for example,  no-musical using of vibrato (or audio file "enter the dream" with strange no-legato theme), because all loves VSL and trust this company. But new potential users can be scared by such demos, even if the library is great..

    Best regards,
    Vadim

    What's wrong with the video ? The sounds are amazing. And Christof Unterberger's demo is beautiful.

    The music of this demo is excelent! It is very good music! but in strings library demo context, the cellos solo performed such, that I (and not only I) start to think, that Sy Strings have no legato, or have a bad legato..
