  • [SOLVED] Synchron player percussion bug?

    Hi Everybody,

    I've just finished to download the Synchron percussion for Synchron player and I am playing around with the presets.
    My first impression is that this is really a great library, I am very happy with It!
    Playing with the cymbals I found a strange behaviour with Dim. Rolls with soft mall: most of the time it doesn't play release samples and the sound stops immediately.
    Is it a known bug that will be fixed or I am the only one having this problem?
    Anyway really a beautiful library :-)

    Hello Nicola!

    Thanks for reporting. You have found a bug indeed. I was able to reproduce the problem with the 16 inch cymbal, soft mallets, diminuendos on keys E6 (ff-layer) and F6 (mf-layer).

    We will correct this with a library update.

    Best regards,
    Andi

    I think I encountered some bugs as well:

    The tambourine VXF rolls don't seem to respond to VXF.

    Timpani Glissandi volume is almost inaudible when the direction is set to descending.

    Hello JimmyHellfire!

    VelXF for Tambourines works, but I see that the keyinfo from C6 to F#6 is mixed up. Here's how it should be.
    C6  Tremolo (thumb) Vel XF
    C#6 Tremolo (shake) Vel XF
    D6  Dim. tremolo 1s (Thumb)
    D#6 Dim. tremolo 2s (shake)
    E6  Dim. tremolo 2s (Thumb)
    F6  Dim. tremolo 4s (Thumb)
    F#6 Dim. tremolo 4s (shake)

    We will fix this with a library update.

    The Timpani volumes (including glissandos down) are as they have been recorded. That's the same for all Synchron Percussion instruments. So all samples are in a natural relation. Some instruments (like Timpani) simply have a wide dynamic range. You can make softer velocities louder by reducing the dynamic range on the Perform page.

    Good morning everyone,

    in MyVSL/Synchron Libarary Updates I found only "NEW Synchron Player Synchron Drums I Update 01" and it doesn't fix the cymbals issues...

    Hello Nicola!

    The Synchron Cymbals update should now also be visible for you. There was a missing link.

    Hi Andi,

    Thank you for your "Synchron Blizzard" demo. It sounds excellent, very three dimensional!

    May I ask if the demo uses "surround-to-stereo downmix" (full libary) or just standard library?

    Hello mobileavatar!

    Thanks for your nice words. The "Synchron Blizzard" demo uses "surround-to-stereo downmix" presets.

    Thanks for your prompt reply and confirmation, Andi.

    No wonder your demos all sound amazing!

    The extra mics really make a big difference.
