Hi, 

Regarding Routing (@ribeye): As soon as you insert Synchron Pianos as a Surround plug-in, the surround presets will be displayed, with flexible routing!

If anyone likes to get the Synchron Piano Manual, please contact support@vsl.co.at, we'll send it to you!

Hi Gabriel, 

Always depends on the piano player. Guy Bacos can definitely pull that off. 

Maybe we will get a video from him. And I will also start with a simple walkthrough video soon. 

Best, 
Paul

Thank you Paul! As always i know that good instruments don't make the Player better 😉

Thanks, Paul. Sending a request for the manual now. 

A question about tuning : in fact, I can’t play the Imperial because of the E6, Eb6 and F6 keys (a bit low for me).

A good way to avoid that kind of problem would be to let us tune each keys independently (and build all scales presets we want...), but maybe the player engine can’t do that.

Is it already possible ? Or is it planed ?

Or is it just impossible due to the player engine structure ?

Two things:

• Please update the purchase, license, download & install software. I'm aware this ain't easy for the distribution of such large libraries, might need some distributed network nodes.
• Please upload pop, rock and alternative styled demos as well. I'm not really the jazz or classical guy. Tastes vary.

Thanks, best regards,

The Download Manager was updated last week. What problems are you have with purchase and license?

Is Yamaha CFX a problem in HDD?

When installed in HDD, playing quickly with multichannel causes irregular playing loop.
The CPU is using less than 10%.
There is no problem with the solo channel.

Also,Part of the sound is interrupted if you use the sustain pedal to play quickly. (Ver 1.0.464)

It is used with VEP6 + CFX.

Hi,

You will want to use Synchron Pianos with a SSD drive.

Best,
Paul

Hello,

Could you explain in detail how the half pedal control affects the playing?,
It would be great to be able to adjust the re-pedaling

For the rest, the piano is amazing!!!, very dynamics,
I forget that it is a VST for authenticity, control and feeling with the keyboard.

Congratulations VSL Team!!!

Paul, what's the rational behind the stage placment? I've never seen a pinao there...

I thought there would be more praise in this thread already :)

Everything that follows is my own impression, of course. But it's a strong impression. The new piano is incredible. I tried a few factory presets so far, and here's a few more specific observations based on "player" preset.

1) It gives a feeling of the piano rather than the grand piano, somehow. I'm comparing to the Vienna Imperial, where every sound is indeed "grand". See the disclaimer above. I'd describe the sound as "fluid", probably because of this new release samples technology. Certain "ringing" quality of some Vienna IMperial rekease samples is also not noticeable, at least on the low velocity notes, where it was apparent.

2) I didn´t notice the "usual" noticeable resonance at 200-250 Hz, which is present in Vienna Imperial "close mic" patches and often requires EQ-ing. Everything sounds just perfect with no extra effort on my part. I auditioned every mic separately.

3) One definitely needs SSD for this beast (this was mentioned already, just emphasizing). The number of samples just overwhelms my poor hard drive. Need to re-structure the files.

4) The player software is ok, but not flawless at the moment. For example, I experienced rather loud glitches sometimes (one time outf 20, roughly) when I was stopping playback (I'm on Cubase). Must be something with those release samples, again.

Verdict: for the price it's quite phenomenal. Well, It's phenomenal without its price, just adding that as an argument.

UDPATE: New version Synchron Pianos 1.0.530 is available!

More info in your Synchron Pianos changelog.

"Fixed: Default frequencies for keys off by one note in EDIT view"

Sorry, but that's not fixed.  When you first fire it up, indeed the default frequencies are now okay.  But as soon as any samples are loaded, the default frequencies in the EDIT view are once again off by one note.

Hi, 

Well observed, thanks for your input! Will be fixed with the next version, then 😊

Best, 
Paul

Does the Synchron CFX support different temperaments, e.g. equal, stretch, etc.?

Thanks.

Hi mobileavatar, 

No tuning options in there (yet). Hope we can add this option later, but I can't promise that.

Paul

Thanks for the prompt reply, Paul!

Hi everybody,

Synchron Player 1.0.582 is available!

Find the changelog right here (@mobileavatar: tuning feature is also in now 😊). 

Best, 
Paul

Congratulations for beautiful piano Paul, updates are excellent, but even after this update (1.0.582), there are still bugs with half pedal and sustain from time to time. Notes just stops in the middle of playing, not often but sometimes. 

Hi again slobajudge, 

Please contact us with some examples (as mp3 and sequencer projects), so we can investigate:support@vsl.co.at. 

The better you can isolate the troubles you see (few notes), the faster the fix. 

Best, 
Paul
