Bummer, was looking at the newly released Fazioli but am on an M1, so will wait it out.

I tested my Fazioli (std lib) and the Synchron Pianos update (1.2.116)  today on my Mac Studio (macOS 12.6.1 Monterey) and results were quite disappointing:

- the Synchron Pianos (both stand alone and VST plugin) crash at startup. Only after launching AU plugin I got the Synchron Pianos opening... same issue i experienced by the way with the previous Synchron players update later retired by VSL... sounds alarmingly out of control on VSL side.

- the sound of the Fazioli is quite strange (over-compressed dynamic range and muffled fortissimo). So strange I suspect it can be disrupted by some bug, and hopefully VSL will fix it soon (at least before my warranty period expires, otherwise I will be forced to return it and ask money back. Should be very sad, because I really love this piano)

Another two months gone by, with nothing from VSL... not even a post by them in this thread.
Not surprised any longer... shame

Another month... still not a peep out of VSL.

Performance on my Mac Studio BLOWS with VSL, even with only a few tracks. Replacing all VSL instruments has at least allowed me to work.
There's really no excuse for this delay... the M1 came out two and a half years ago. Even the smallest of devs, with precious few resources available, have ported their code.

Also not too happy about the missing Apple Silicon compatibility.
Maybe it makes sense to check VSL.'s statement for updates once in a while:
apple-compatibility

It absolutely amazes me that VSL doesn't have a native player yet. M1 Macs have been standard for about two years now, and still no native compatibility? I am astonished by this.

You have to understand that VSL has nothing to win spending time on modifying there players for M1.

They are not stupid they prefer to develop more libs to get more €

The update has arrived for Synchron player. I've fired up my Reaper session with 150+, most of them with an instance of VSL Synchron player. Before today, I was working in Rosetta, because having so many tracks with a bridged plugin was unmanageable and buggy. So far, so good. It was slow and choppy at first, but the culprit might well be many of the plugins still running in bridged x64 mode.

Nice work on the Silicon Synchron Player! Thanks Looking forward to VE7 Pro

Just installed the update on my Mac Studio. Working much better now. The odd expected CPU bump, but otherwise working well with my solo strings.

It looks like the Synchron Harp Player is now ARM native, though I saw no announcement. True?

When will the Organ Player be updated?

Hi!

Yes, you can download the latest Synchron Player Harp Update with Apple Silicon support via the Vienna Assistant. No ETA for the Organ Player, I am afraid.

Best,
Andreas

thank you for the Harp M1 compatibly. Looking forward for the organ player update. 

Excellant - a Silicon Harp.

Hi Mavros, 

Glad you like it!

You have received an update info when opening the harp, which then opens the Vienna Assistant with the Update page which comes with the changelog. This way you're always up to date. 

Best, 
Paul
