What's new

Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial

Any chance the "near future" comes before the end of the current sale? ;)
We are all really busy at the moment preparing the next releases, so I don't think that we can do it within this time-frame. But I see what can be done.

Sure, I understand! Just in general it is difficult for me to make decisions about these libraries because the demos seem very much focused towards users who want a very roomy "classical" sound, whereas those of us who deploy a more modern super-close and dry production can be very unsure whether the standard or full libraries (or maybe neither!) can deliver on what we are looking for.
 
Ah, I either didn't know, or had forgotten, that Blüthner was also recorded on the smaller stage, as was the upright. That might explain why I am finding that it works so well for Reggae, Ska, Dub, Calypso, etc. It's really great that we have choices across these two stages, for the full product suite.
 
Hi everybody,

4 days to go for our Synchron Pianos special offer, and another 19 days for the Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial.
So we have decided to use those last days to try an experiment: You can order a FREE DEMO LICENSE directly on the https://www.vsl.co.at/Synchron_Package/Synchron_Pianos_Bundle (individual product pages) (it’s the third blue button on the left).

What you need to make this work:
1) An https://www.vsl.co.at/Instruments/ViennaKey (elicenser USB Key like a ViennaKey) or a Steinberg Key, to store the demo license on
2) An account at https://slack-redir.net/link?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vsl.co.at&v=3 (www.vsl.co.at)
3) 1 registered VSL product on that account
If you don’t have a registered product yet, please contact us directly via [email protected] and tell us, which piano you’d like to check out.

These demo licenses work for 30 days/30 starts. Once the 30 starts are used up, you can recharge them as often as you like by clicking “Maintenance” in the eLicenser Control Center (within 30 days).

Fantastic idea! I hope you roll this out across the whole product range - there are so many VSL instruments that I'm curious about but don't want to go through the buy/refund process.
 
A great performance by Jordan Rudess:




Here is what he says about the Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial:
With the VSL Bösendorfer Imperial at my fingertips, the moment my hand and the keys connect, I am instantly transported from the confines of my home studio to the thrilling expanse of a concert stage. It is a mighty new virtual instrument, with nuance, power, and purity that parallels the finest grand pianos I’ve ever played.
 
Greetings,

I purchased the Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial and am in the process of familiarizing myself with the instrument. Well done VSL. I noticed that if I adjust the timbre I either lose notes at the top or bottom of the keyboard, depending on whether I move the timbre shift into - or + range.

I am not suggesting this is a glitch (the Bluthner I am testing exhibits the same behaviour). I just want to understand what the software is doing under the hood.

Certainly no criticism here. Just a desire to fully understand this wonderful instrument. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Graham

PS: A video series explaining the Synchron Pianos, similar to the Synchron Player series, would be very educational. The manual is helpful, but your educational videos are excellent.

I pointed this out in the VSL forum months ago without receiving a reply... maybe they don't monitor the forum. Anyway I think what it does is actualy move the samples up or down, so that when you press "-" once, the C sample is used to play B, hence a darker timbre and that's why you lose the high C..
 
The timbre shift shifts and tunes the sample. With a value of +/-12 you will miss an entire octave.
With this feature you can shift the characteristics of the piano making it darker or brighter, very nice if you are looking for a more special piano sound or the original does not fit your current piece.
