This strings just sound amazing and suit all kind of genres.
And they still do sound amazing no regrets, it is still a top library, the tone is very special.
And works with anything no gripes here what so ever

They named “Synchron Strings I”, not just “Synchron Strings”. There are always more to come in the near future, fingers crossed!
there is no other Synchron library...the strings are the only true Synchron l
Ah right...I thought that he meant between strings brass and winds...those others are synchronized.There's Synchron Percussion and 3 pianos too.
I was hoping to get the SYNCHRON-ized Chamber and Appassionata Strings during the recent sale, but my money was returned as the vendor had made a mistake in the pricing, and as that was several days after my purchase, the sale had just expired by then. So I am unfortunately not able to compare those to Synchron Strings I to see whether this library can fairly adequately fulfill the needs of the Chamber Strings library, or even possibly Appassionata with some clever doubling here and there.
My guy at Sweetwater did the same thing...they will honor a sale price if you get in touch with them and explain you're a little late...at least my vendor did.However, they got in touch with VSL, who decided in this case they could honour the sale price - which I thought was pretty cool of them
It's sad really.
Synchron Strings FX I is a stunning library and the player is also fantastic.
Personally it's sad to me to see where VSL is heading - their detailed sampling was unrivalled (just watch the video and keep in mind even patches within that had variations ie. dynamics crescendo OR decrescendo).
Personally I would rather 3 quality mic positions and a buttload more articulations than 36 mic options taking up 2 terabytes NOW FEATURING ACROSS THE STREET MICS..like seriously.
(this criticism certainly isn't limited to VSL)
The library is large due to recording many performances (i.e. players playing notes), the source of realism in sampling.
But herein lies the problem.
It doesn't sound more realistic than other libraries. In fact it is worse than much of the competition.
It is considered bloat when the extra size and resources it uses makes hardly any discernible difference.
Discerning is in the ear of the discerner, I guess. Use something else.
I already do use something else . The library has long since been moved to an external back up drive.
The overwhelming consensus when this was released was that it was a disappointment. The cantible patches are OK, but don't make a that big a difference in my opinion.
imho. VSL Synchron Strings in 2020 is still not popular, and VSL is wasting time with the Synchronized concept.
Where is VSL's real Synchron Line of libraries in 2020, (not synchronized libraries) ?
There should have been real Synchron library releases by 2020 i.e. Synchron Strings II, Synchron Brass I, Synchron Brass II, Synchron Woodwinds I, Synchron Woodwinds II, ...etc.
Why did they not continue releasing their real Synchron Orchestral libraries (not the fake ones) ?
@muziksculp hmm, what about the BBO libraries, Synchron Pianos, Synchron Percussion I? Are these not real Synchron Libraries?
I know you want more and we will deliver. Sometimes good things need a little time, and of course we have read all feedback and do our best to deliver the best.
Stay tuned!
