The manual is a good way to start:These libraries are very tempting but I'm not really familiar with using Synchron player or any of the other products that house these libraries. Does anyone have any good resources regarding the players and how they work? Maybe some benefits/drawbacks would be great, too. (I understand there are probably tons of videos on YT but just wanted to ask for some others' specific recommendations.)

And I would recommend to try out the things you read yourself. We have a series of free libraries that are a great way to check the player out without being overwhelmed by all the library contents:

We also have a 30 days demo available of our Prime Edition, a collection of the most important instruments from the Synchron line, condensed to the most important articulations and 2 mic positions:
