[SOLVED] No libraries showig up in Synchron Player

[Stevie]

This is really odd, since I googled a lot and tried all different things...

1. I downloaded the newest eLicenser and registered my serials for Big Bang and Woodinds 1
2. I downloaded the newest Vienna Download Manager and downloaded these libraries
3. I downloaded the newest Synchron Player (1.1.1709)
4. The libraries are shown in the database, but not in the preset pane

I also deleted and re-added the library path, with no success.

Any idea what's going on here?

Hi Stevie,

please check if the libraries are not only downlaoded, but also properly installed.

You can check this by opening one of the library folders and see, if there are .x and .y files. If it contains .x and .y files, open the application Synchron Library Installer, and in it open this sample folder. It will guide you through the installation process.

Best, Ben

Nope, I'm sorry, it's all there:

SY-Woodwinds_Main.vsynvolume
SY-Woodwinds_Patches.vsynvolume

and

BBO_00_Room-Mix.vsynvolume

BBO_02_Main-C.vsynvolume
BBO_03_Surround.vsynvolume
BBO_04_High.vsynvolume

Hi,

Have you restarted the DAW after the installation?
On MacOS it sometimes still runs in the background and so prevents scanning for the new libraries.
Easy fix in this case: Reboot the machine.

Best, Ben

[Stevie]

Yes, rebooted several times.

Can you please try if it works with another DAW?
Also, you can try to use Vienna Ensemble in your DAW and host Synchron Player in it.

I found the culprit: the Synchron Player is not able to identify and use Windows Junction points.
My VSL stuff sits on drive P: however I created a junction point to drive L: and always link players to that location. 

This makes it easy add new drives with different drive identifiers. When space gets sparse, I could add a new drive O: and put all my VSL libraries on it. I would then create a new junction point to L:\VSL and projects would still find the VSL samples.

This method works perfectly with the VSL Directory Manager and Vienna Instruments Pro. I really suggest you add the ability to work with junction points to the Synchron Player as well.

Hi Stevie, 

Thanks for your input!

This should be fixed with the next update of our Synchron Player. No ETA yet, but it shouldn't be long.  

Best, 
Paul

Thanks Paul, much appreciated!

[Stevie]

Has been fixed in the latest update, thanks guys!

Hi,

I have followed all o the steps for installing synchron libraries and scanned the drive location ...tried it in different DAWS and standalone. I've reinstalled several times with no change.

I just cant get it to see the libraries.

Is there any way I can get technical support to start utilizing this in my workflow?

I wanted to purchase Big Bang Orchestra series.

Point the standalone Synchron Player to the directories where the libraries reside. I didn't find Library Installer useful or to have any point I grasped here. In the standalone, go to the spanner preferences icon/Database...
