  • Synchron Solo Violin---FANSTASTIC!

    I just installed the SYNCHRON solo violin and cello, and made a quick test on a piano quartet piece Ive been hacking away at...

    Just wonderful! Gone is that tight vibrato---a nice, expressive, strong tone. Really wonderful for a 1st violin, or soloist.

    Well done. Can't wait to get into it on Dorico---but nice to know it plays well with the sychronized SE HP settings/keyswtiching on FINALE---HERE AT THE BITTER END.... SNIFF...

    I agree very much about the violin. A big difference between the SYNCHRON-ized first solo violin and the SYNCHRON solo violin is, that you don't need to do so much to make long notes a "living" tone.
    Just making the right choice for the sample: legato, long notes, staccato, spiccato, the different detaché notes (they are awesome, very useful, also in legato passages), the right start of the note (normal, soft or fast attack), and the right velocity does 90 % of the work. (And then I didn't use until now the lyrical patches, dynamic patches, the slur legato, so much to enjoy). The Timbre Adjust is also a very useful tool in some situations to envelop a specific tone and adjust a little the sound of a tone. Sometimes a long note with crossfade from no vibrato or low vibrato to strong vibrato and Marina Dimitrova is playing your composition in a beautiful way. This violin VSTi shows the craftsmanship of the team of VSL, with Marina as a part of it!
    The different microphones are helping very much to get the right sound for the situation (in my last piece I use it as a solo violin with string orchestra, Duality Strings + Synchron harp until now). Also the SYNCHRON Duality strings are beautiful and very useful, not only with big loud sounding cinematic compositions, but also with little, subtile passages.
    It's really amazing that this is possible! And Dorico is a very good tool to make use of this libraries!
