Will vsl let us know when the preorder window is about to close? I don't get paid for 2 weeks so can't preorder till then :(

Yes they have stated somewhere (I think in this thread actually) that they will let us know.

Hello,

I would like to echo what others have said. I am interested in this library, but am not prepared to pre-order unless I can hear some audio demos of the Synchron Strings alone - with no other instruments masking them. Only then will I be able to hear whether this is superior to what I already have (VSL and others).

I do hope the demos will appear before the Early Bird offer expires.

Thank you,

Darren

In general dynamic relations can have many variables - but the variables in this case are pretty cleanly defined, and from where I'm watching it seems to be by design.  The instruments are being recorded in position in the same hall - based on the diagrams it seems the plan is very much to fill out the whole orchestra with their seating intact in relation to each other.  The array of microphones will be in the same position for all, and I would assume they will be the very same microphones each time.  Based on this setup the relations in dynamics between layers and between different instruments (including the effect relative distance plays) is very much measureable, and I would say extremely relevant.

I agree with you completely. However, VSL's position was that natural-dynamics isn't even a sensible notion, and that people who even entertain the concept are irrational people lacking sense. When I want more insults and science-denial from developers, I'll consider buying these new strings.

November will be the longest month of this year. So excited.

I am hoping to order this new string set soon. I too would *love* to hear some demos!

I look forward to seeing a precise articulation list. The list currently on display looks tentitive. 

I was thinking about the new player. My hope is to use the new player and the current one while assembling music.

All demos are candy coated, at most you will never be able to get the product to sound how the demo sounds.

The synchron Strings may or may not sound better that VSLs existing string librarys as sound is very subjective.

One advantage is you will get the recording of the Syncron Hall, second is if you go for the standared version you get a complete set of articulations, 3rd there is a player that is being built for the syncron serias that offers plus possibilitys.

That alone is worth the pre order with out any demo, if you have the cash wait until its releast and see what others say about it, then you can make up your mind.

Very weird logic. (I did preorder by the way)

I pulled the trigger... thank God for a strong US dollar right now 😛

Thats exactly the reason why Trump desperatly complains the european trade surplus: innovative products, high quality, low prices 😃

Can we please keep politics out of the discussion on VSL's forums. Thank you.

Sorry wasn't meant to serious.😉 (except my appreciation for the "innovative products, high quality, reasonable prices" of VSL😃)

Hi Paul / VSL Support,

I Pre-Ordered the Full version of Synchron Strings I, I'm guessing the library will be quite a very large download when it is released, do you offer the library on a Drive as an option ?  

If you do, I would like to order it on a drive, that you can ship to me, I will pay for the drive and shipping costs.  I don't think I saw this option on your website. 

Thanks,

Hello everybody,

A lot of things are falling into place right now, and it's a very exciting time here in Vienna. 

More information and also more demos should be available soon (I know that has been quite a stretch), and I'd like to thank you all for your patience. Those last tweaks are SO important, and our standards are higher than ever. 

@muziksculp: Yes, Synchron Strings I will be added to the Vienna Harddrive. We will keep you up to date!

Best, 

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm delighted to know that you will offer VSL Synchron Strings I on a Vienna HD, wonderful. 

Patience will always pay off, so don't rush anything,  VSL Products are always solid, and super high-quality, so if it takes a little more time to tweak things, and/or to double check quality, it is well worth the extra wait.  

Looking forward to the official release of Synchron Strings I, audio demos, video walkthroughts, the new Synchron Player, video tutorials, .final specs., .etc. 

Cheers,

Muziksculp

I just pre-ordered the basic set. It's been a very very long time since I bought anything from you guys, I hope you can meet my expectations. ;-)

I know it is quite a rude question but what I want to know if there is a coarse (!) schedule of the other planned releases. 😇

Do not misunderstand me, I know there is a lot of stuff going on right now in Vienna, and I really appreciate your work and, of course, I am sure that Synchron Strings I will be success and will sound excellent. I hope so and wish you guys all the best.

I don't expect a release date (that would be craaazy), but maybe which library will come next (brass, woodwinds) or what to expect in general. That would be very helpful on future investments. Because I am considering to upgrade my SE versions of brass and woodwinds, but if there will be Synchron Brass or Synchron Woodwinds next, I would rather buy these.

What will Synchron Strings II be like? I mean, the first library is quite a standard orchestral string size section. Will there be a bigger section like the appassionatas, so I can skip this one and wait for a second string library? Or will you stick to this size, because another option would be MIR Pro with Roompack 6?
