Hi I just was curious whether there was any updates on this topic? having a Scala import or some sort of Sync with the ODD sound MTS plugins would be incredible -

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!

(Beta-testing these things takes a lot of time.

The developer: "So, how is the new features working?"

A beta-tester: "Not yet too well. The instruments always goes out of tune!")

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!

Yes, the Synchron player will be able to handle more than 12 notes per octave. There will even be some built-in scales that feature this, e.g., 19TET and 24TET!

Yay! I've already prepared my incense sticks!

By the way: how moving is it, that this comes out just a little after the transfiguration of Lou Harrison?

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!

Big thanks to all of you who chimed in with feedback and kind words! I accumulated a list of changes I will have to implement before I can release the feature into the wild, so I will have to ask for a little more patience!

You do have other people on the VSL team who know Dorico quite well who you can check with. 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.
