Thanks Paul.  I used the Synchorn Installer which worked fine and also reformatted the Samsung T5. Everything is flowing smoothly now. By the way, even though the the Steinway Piano maybe a lighter version, it sounds fantastic!

Hi horsehead, 

Also, the Samsung T5 often comes formatted as ExFAT, which works very poorly with our data format. 

Best to reformat as macOS, then installation will work.

Hi horsehead,

Glad to see things have worked out good! I bet reformatting the T5 has helped a lot! The ExFAT file structure is not very friendly for audio. The "light" Stenway D-274 is a gorgeous piano indeed! I love the sound of it and it is quickly becoming my favorite piano!

Paul,

You are spoiling us here 😛

Hi Paul,

just writing as I now have the Synchron S.E volume 1 as the upgrade from the VI Special Edition. Thanks for the great price!

I'm considering to get the Extra articulations for strings etc. I already had the Woodwind, and the Brass plus libraries from the VI series, however, I did not purchase the strings plus version, as I already had the full orchestral strings and I could easily add trills and other things to the VI SE matrixes.

.Is there going to be some kind of upgrade price for this is you have the Woodwind, and Brass plus libraries from the original SE plus libraries? I can guess I wouldn't get any discount for the whole of the plus librariy though, as I didn't purchase the strings.

Thank you for your help with my questions.

Steve

Hi Steve, 

You will need to complete your SE Vol 1 PLUS, then you get the crossgrade price to the SYNCHRON-ized version.

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thank you kindly for your reply and for letting me know.

all the best,

Steve😃

Hi Paul,

another quick question. If the SE Synchron needs 63.6 GB free hard drive space, and my hard drive with samples [vsl plus other libraries], has 171 gb out of 931 gb left. That will mean I will still have 109 gb left. Is that enough spare space on the drive?

thanks if you can estimate this for me,

Steve :-)

HI Steve, 

Depends on the drive. If it's an SSD drive, then no problem. With spinning drives, 10% should also work, but COULD cause troubles. I recommend 15-20% free space on a spinning drive. 

Best,
Paul

Hi Paul,

thanks for that extra information Paul  Much appreciated😃!

Steve 😊

Attempting to load the prepared piano from SE2 crashes the host (Cubase, or VE in standalone). Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Jimmy, 

Which OS, which player?

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul,

I'm on Win10, Synchron Player 1.1.1559. Loading the Synchron Player either as an instrument track in Cubase 10.0.30., or as a standalone inside Vienna Ensemble 6.0.18067. The prepared piano crashes both.

Hi,

That should work with the latest release 1.1.1621, did you check?

Best,
Paul

Oh, I missed the latest Synchron Player update, sorry about that. No issues now.

hi Paul,

in the new Dimension String SE versions. do the legato samples have the four layers and also the non-vibrato  and vibrato layers as well [ something I think I recall reading about -I could be wrong though]

Thanks,

Steve :-)

Hi Steve, 

Same number of velocities as in the bigger collections: 4.
There are no non-vibrato options for the SY-ized SE Dimension Strings. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul,

thanks for the information.😃

Hi,

I just recieved the offer to crossgrade to 'Special Edition 1' 5 minutes ago in my mailbox. On the website I saw I can upgrade all my Special Editions.

How long does this offer counts? Till August 1st?

Sincerly,

Guido

Hi Guido,

Thanks for your interest!

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the quick response!

Best,Guido

I just got the offer to crossgrade to the Synchron SE. To be honest I had moved on from VSL SE to other libraries but..wow, I am so glad I took up the offer. It's like a whole different library. Very good. Congratulations.
