SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Brass I & II will be part of the Synchron Package starting December 1, after the introductory period. You may complete your Synchron Package then to get the new libraries (at a discount of roughly 17%), but you're far better off when you purchase them during the introductory period through November 30 at a discount of roughly 28%.

Good question, but there's no "backward crossgrade", the route is always from VI to Synchron libraries.
Cheers, Martin
Got it, so the only route is purchase VI version then upgrade to the Synchron-ize version. Does Synchron Player also do auto divisi like VI Pro for Dimension Brass?
Hi,
auto-divisi is not implemented in Synchron Player at this point, and implementation is not planned in the near future.
The best idea if you want to split players with the current Synchron Player is to record multiple MIDI tracks and then edit the tracks accordingly.
Best,
Paul
Hi,
the product page does not show a full version, so how are mics set up in the standard version?
Thanks.
Since it is a "synchro-nized" (original VI-) Library there will presumably be only one Microphoneposition but the MIR-Synchronstage Responses to make them acoustically compatible with original Synchron-Libraries.
The better questions will be perhaps:
That seems to me currently just a bit confusing while I nevertheless wellcome the first Dimension-Library to be synchronized and hope strongly aswell for synchronized Dimension Strings as for mopre original Synchron-Libraries to come. 😃
Hi Paul, It's not about attitude, just reality. Low brass range is uncomplete. My question is: has the range been extended in the 'Full' library? BTW, if I don't miss anything, 'Full' means full.javajam, to be fair, VSL has always used the term “full” vs. “standard” as having the extra “articulations” not “instruments”. Now having said that, i wish VSL returns to the earlier synchron-ized libraries and give them same treatment, i.e. same full set of articulations, round robins, dynamics, etc.. to make them identical to their vi counterparts. Of course the challenge for VSL is not have existing customers pay for what they have again just to be able to use “VI Pro v. 3”. My $0.02

I wanted to clear up some misinformation by the "javajam" person -
The "low brass" are very useable, in fact they represent the normal "low brass" range. Any orchestrator will like this range for general "low brass" useage. They are not intended to represent the entire possible range of each individual instrument. They are - as part of the Dimension library approach - strictly for orchestral use in the normally desired range. They go very low. In fact to the bottom of each instrument range. One does find the complete possible range - with higher notes - in the solo instruments with tubas, bass trombone, and tenor trombone. However, this "low" range was done deliberately to utilize the Dimension recording technique of solo/ensemble versatility in the normal "low brass" range. Also, it should be noted that the Dimension trombones, with 4 players, have a much wider range than the "low brass" trombones.
So contrary to what this person states, the Dimension Brass are fantastically useable and an excellent library.
I am really glad to hear about the new articulations for both VI and Synchron to add to an already fabulous library.
Hi Paul,
Low brass range is uncomplete.
I do have the impression, that you perhaps do not understand the special character of the dimension-Brass-Library.
If you are looking for each single instrument of the traditional orchestral low brass section you will find all each in their certain "complete" range as Part of the Orchestral Brass.
The Idea of the dimension-Brass was, to give the impression of seperate recorded ensembleinstruments, what means that each sample of a certain instruments comes with a bit of the sound of the whole ensemble, therefore the possible range is limited to the range which is available for all other instruments of the ensemble, not only to the range of the instrument which is recorded. So I assume what you get is the complete range which is possible to be played without any instrument of the ensemble missing.
If you are just looking for each single instrument not as part of an ensemblke, but solo in it own range just go for orchestral brass, everything is already there.
I hope I was able to clear perhaps some misunderstandings.
Trombone up to C6? You mean two octaves above middle C?
I hope they don't go that high!....and I'm a pro trombone player!
Two octaves above middle C is in the 'freak zone' of playing and no one would ever compose any 'playable' piece of music with that note in it. Maybe a special commission for a freaky player....but even then, it'd be a miracle if it got played correctly.
And in a sample library? Why? That's trumpet range. Trombone samples sound like bad trumpets if transposed up that high.
Now....one octave above middle C is to be normally expected for any orchestral or any other music. Go on up to a D for sure. (ie: Brahms 2nd...brilliant writing for trombones!)
Anything above that is seldom written or played in orchestral literature, or requires an Alto trombone.
Excellent Jazz players will play up there usually without problem. (Bb, C, D, Eb, F)
