Hello Paul
Are we going to see the micro-tuning feature soon on Synchron?
Thanks

Hi Yazan,
It's not on the immediate to-do-list, but it's on the list. Will take a little more time.
Best,
PaulHello again @Paul
hope your are doing well,,,I heard that you are working on enabling tuning systems, I would love to get an experimental build to try the tuning system on Synchron.
Thanks
Yazan

Tuning support is just around the corner, featuring scl/kbm, MTS and MTS-ESP. I am doing a last round of beta tests, and expect the release within the next two weeks!
amazing - am very happy to hear this! I'm guessing as well owing to the MTS solution that there will be support for > 12 notes per octave, unlike on the VIPRO player?
thanks!

Will this work with Dorico's microtonality support?
Good question. I didn't implement with Dorico in mind, and - not being a Dorico user - didn't try yet. The documentation doesn't say how Dorico communicates tuning information to its plugins, so I asked the Steinberg guys at the Audio Developer Conference. I'll update you when I hear back from them!

I believe by default with VST3 plugins it tries to use VST3 note expression to allow for individual detuning of notes. It can play back chords with quarter tone accidentals with the correct notes. To my knowledge this works in Dorico with other third party libraries and Halion-based libraries but not with Synchron player.
Quarter-tones in Dorico not playing back with Synchron Player has been an issue for a while apparently, and I would love to see this addressed.

We managed to support the playback of quarter tone accidentals in DoricoExcellent news - but is it only quarter tone accidentals? I'm fine with just quarter tones myself, but I ask because a large number of microtonal composers seem to have converged on Dorico for its support for many microtonal systems that can divide up notes many more times than just quarter tones, and of course in Dorico you can make your own microtonal systems as you wish and immediately get correct playback of it with everything that supports VST3 note expression to adjust the pitch independently for the notes (ex. in a simultaneous chord). There are systems like 72-EDO etc. If you're not supporting VST3 note expression then some of these other systems might not be supported, or support for them might be complicated by not having only to define them in Dorico but also in the player somehow, which is less user friendly.
