    The solution given by VSL is to add a sustain pedal to the violin ! VERY GOOD JOKE


    I don't know why you keep complaining over and over about the sustain pedal being used to trigger rebowing when it has become the standard rebowing trigger in all string libraries. You'd be hard pressed to find string libraries from other vendors that don't use the sustain pedal for this rebowing. This includes:

    • Cinematic Studio Strings
    • Pacific Strings
    • Tokyo Scoring Strings

    It has gotten so common and expected for modern string libraries to use sustain pedal to trigger rebowing on the same note that when a string library comes out that doesn't do that, people complain.

    But according to you, when everybody else does it because it's an industry standard, it's great, but when VSL does the same thing, it's a big "HAHA" joke. Do I have that right?

    You really should be writing all of the other string library vendors out there also telling them that they are really stupid and terrible by using the sustain pedal for rebowing.

    I am confused ... I am using Vienna Instruments Pro Instances in Vienna Ensemble Pro Server.

    Is it the Synchronized Player or Synchronized Instrument Libraries that correct this problem ???

    Can I use my Vienna Instrument Libraries in the Synchron Player OR

    Do I need to buy Synchronized Versions of my Vienna Instrument Libraries ???

    Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

    If it is fixed in the Synchron-ized version and you want the fix, you'll have to buy the Synchron-ized version, but it shouldn't be that expensive (you get a huge discount by owning the VI library).

    Still awaiting a reply from Vienna ... and no new responses on Forum, so I'm really stuck here.

    Best thoughts to date are from Cyril Blanc and mducharme ... thanks again, guys 😄

    I have the Synchronized Special Editions but have not installed them, because my storage is getting full. And I am reluctant to remove all my VI Special Editions, because I have been using them for everything for years. I don't remember having these VI playback issues in past years.

    HELP, Vienna ... what's going on ????

    @mducharme
    If VSL has fixed the problem with the Synchron-ize solo strings this mean that they recognise that there is a problem with the VI version

    Please be less agressive !

    Free BBC does not have the problem

    You're assuming it's a problem when it is by design. Bugs are different from missing features.
    

    Synchron Player is newer and has new capabilities that VI player did not have. It might not even be possible to make this enhancement in the VI player without actually rewriting part of the VI player itself. You are expecting/demanding that they potentially spend months of work updating the version 1 of their product (VI player) when the current version 2 (Synchron-ized) doesn't have this issue.
    

    The VI player versions are pretty much on life support at this point - they are still sold and they still work, but you can't expect new features added to them.
    

    It would be like if I complained to Honda that my 2005 model Honda Accord car didn't have a feature that the new 2014 Accord does (say a backup camera), and demand that they add it to my Accord because obviously it is a "bug" in my Accord.

    Thank you for your responses, mducharm and Cyril Blanc.
    

    I have no expectation or demands that VSL do anything that I want ... I am nowhere near the level of most Vienna users, and would never suggest any changes to their products.
    

    I am simply trying to determine what I should do about my technical question ... please re-read my original question. It is the same as the request I sent to VSL.
    

    Now you have me wondering if my question may have inadvertently offended someone ... I certainly hope not ... over the past many years, I have posted many thank-you's for their marvelous products and superior customer service.
    

    And I have invested a lot of time and money over many years because of my admiration for VSL.

    Well from my part there is a bit of confusion when you say "notation", which makes it hard to address your question. Most people are working in a DAW where there is no notation and you have rectangles representing notes on a piano roll. So it is unclear whether you are working in a DAW or notation software. In notation software there is the possibility of the notation software choosing a different articulation based on specific rules which could cause a different effect. In a DAW this would not happen - if there was an articulation change via keyswitch you would have to trigger that yourself and should therefore know it is being changed.
    

    If you are running that low on space that you can't install the Synchron-ized version, it is probably a sign that you should look at adding another SSD drive to your system.

    Yes ... I should have indicated from the beginning that I am scoring in Finale V26 notation software (though I do use Cubase 10.5, from time to time).
    

    All of my "installed products" are installed on my internal hard drive.  I have never been sure about the adequacy of an external drive's response time.

    An external hard drive should be fine if it is an SSD and connected with a modern USB standard.
    

    Do you have the same problem using the library in Cubase? Try using it directly in Cubase, manually, outside of Finale. Do some experimenting with note lengths at the same tempo you were using in Finale. Finale might be doing something weird with what you have entered.
