PS Is there a reason to keep the VI special edition files if you have the synchron-ized special edition files unless you want to play them in the Vienna Instruments Pro player?

No.

All of them have controllable vibrato, correct? What should I get? What is the difference?

Yes. You should get whatever you liek sound wise and what you need. The difference is the ensemble size and if it was recorded in Synchron Stage with ambience or Silent Stage.
And btw, don't get Synchron Strings I, get Synchron Strings Pro instead.

Thank you!

It is difficult to know what I need if I don't see the UI in front of me and can play around with the samples.

Does Synchron Strings Pro have the option to turn off the stage/reverb so it sounds like the synchron-ized special edition?
I don't want to use different libraries that do not sound the same...and rather have every instrument without reverb and add it in the DAW later.

No, it's not an effect, it's recorded in a reverberant room, so you can't remove the natural room.

Synchron-ized solo strings: 395€ (65 GB)
Synchron-ized chamber strings: 224€ (27 GB)

Both have a 30-day trial...so I will test them and buy one of them if I am happy. If not, I will check out Strings Pro.

Thanks!

The last file was changed or moved to the library 1.5 hour ago.

Everything is installed now, but Synchron Player does not find the libraries. I read the manual, I read another help thread where a user had the same problem...but it still does not work.

When installing Synchron Player, I wasn't asked for a directory...it was installed to C:
My audio libraries are on D:

The volume scan paths show both volumes, synchron-ized special edition vol. 1 and vol. 2. However, clicking on "Factory" or elsewhere does not load any instruments. Everything is empty.

I reinstalled Synchron Player without success and only restarted it a couple of times.

The problem affects both standalone and DAW/VSTi mode.

What do I have to do?

It works now. I had to activate the library with iLok. The dots in my VSL profile were green so I thought it was already activated.

@Ben Is it possible to change the panning of the instruments in the Synchron-ized Solo strings and/or Synchron Strings Pro?
Is there anything Strings Pro does not have that Solo strings does?

As I want to pan all instruments myself, I will only buy Synchron Strings Pro if you can remove the preset panning and manually pan them. Will this work?

Yes you can pan SSPro instruments yourself.

Thanks! Just bought it.
