Hi Andi

I use the Dorico playback templates, but VelXF is always off... Is there an updated version?

Regards

Daniel

Hello Daniel!

Hmm. VelXF was turned on by default from the very first version of the "VSL for Dorico" installer on. Can you send me the exact name of the playback template that you have applied? For which instrument is VelXF turned off in Synchron Player after applying the playback template?

Best,
Andi

Hi Daniel!

Maybe the order of your steps is wrong. It should be.
1. Create a new file (or load an old one).
2. Apply the playback template.

That's it. All Synchron Players get loaded with the correct instruments and VelXF enabled. There's no need to load the presets inside Synchron Player.

If you load a SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition preset in Synchron Player, VelXF is turned off by default.

Hi Andi

doesn't help. Here is what I am doing:

Hello Daniel!

I have to apologise. You are of course correct. I mixed something up. The presets get loaded with VelXF turned off by default. That has been done because of performance reasons. Big orchestral projects may not play back without problems on some computers when Vel XF is turned on for all instruments. I personally would keep it turned off for most of the time and just turn it on for notes with crescendo or diminuendo. More information can be found here:

Ok, thank you, I will work through that document.

I was surprised to see in the Steinberg YouTube the the template loads individual player instances, rather than using VE. I'm curious why you did it that way.

Hello Bill!

That has been done for two reasons.

1.) Not all users have Vienna Ensemble installed. Users who don't have Vienna Ensemble installed might think that it is not working correctly.

2.) With Vienna Ensemble we would have to build templates that include various instruments that might not be included in particular projects. This way the loading time and the used RAM would be higher than necessary.
