  • Hi @amie - Yes, you will be able to re-download your instruments and the software as usual - also after 2025.

    As for the sound: No, the SYNCHRON-ized Series allows the same flexible & 100% dry workflow as the VI Player. So, those are both suitable for the same kind of orchestral work.

    Best, Andreas

  • Recently got the VI Saxes & upgraded to the Synchronized Saxes. I think the hunt for the best Jazz library for Saxes ends here. I’ve never seen or heard a Sax library as best as this. None! And can’t believe actually VSL brought this. VSL nails classical Orchestral stuff but when heard the Saxes play, I think VSL bested every Jazz library for Saxes out there.

    As for the Synchron Player, I found out the default preload samples is set to 4096. Is this normal, less or more? May be just about right? Also, what’s pan law which is set to -3db or something. Is that something that needs to be changed? Oh and when I load the patches or presets, I don’t see the range of the instrument but when I press a key, it shows up. I figured out this from the previous version. Is this normal? I am on Mac m1.

    • Usually you don't have to change Preload-Size, the Player does measurments in the backgroudn and chooses the best value for you.
    • Pan Law: You don't have to change this. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panning_law
    • By default the samples of an articulation will be loaded after the first Note-on was received. That's why at first the keyboard-range is not visible. You can change that behavior in the Player's settings, but it's a small feature that can safe a lot of RAM since most of the times you don't need all articulations in one project.
