Samplicity announces Berlin Studio plugin

Thanks for the explanation!

Just to clarify, the CPU issue may well be related to my system (although I don't have many processes running at the same time). I just wanted to inform you since you're looking into it anyway. I've read that some CPU issues have been resolved by updating to Logic Pro 10.7.5, but I'm still on Big Sur so I haven't been able to try that yet.
It might be related to your (and my) system running BigSur, but it is definitely related to Logic. No CPU issues in Reaper and no issues within VE-Pro. Well at least with AU. VST doesn't show up at all in VE-Pro !

It does not show up, because VSL does not support the current VST3 format.

The old VST2 standard has been completely dropped for developers already in 2018. Which was announced many, many years before that.

I am not allowed by Steinberg to create VST2 versions (it would be very easy to do), since I did not get a licence contract before 2018.

VST3 is not new at all, I am really puzzled why VSL does not support it.
 
A very strange combination, I am really puzzled.
If the surround channel does not work then the others should not work either.
Switching between sample rates does not do any re-processing on the internal impulse responses, the plugin just loads different versions from a single library file.
My gut feeling is that this installed library file is not OK.
The noise you experienced also hints in this direction, convolving with bad data is terrible.
Can you try to re-install from the package?
If you want to remove any previous files, send me a PM, I can tell you were the files are installed.
Ok. I’m out until tonight CST, but I’ll fiddle with it this evening and get back to you.

Edit: I have not tried to run it through VEPRO, so I’ll try that as well.
 
I have played with this briefly. This is an astounding plugin. The interface is absolutely gorgeous. The sound is top notch. Works smoothly in Cubase 12 on a Mac. Well done!
 
Just did a quick 'n dirty trumpet example in Berlin Studio followed by MIR3D Pro Teldex Wide. The solo trumpet is from Cinesample Brass Core, using the "close" mic.

Both samples use their default settings. Note I had to set the MIR location approximately by hand as you can place instruments anywhere in MIR.

I didn't try to match the exact tone as there is a ton of settings in MIR but it should give you an idea of how the spaces sound.

MIR lets you tweak virtually every parameter including orientation, mic type, directivity, air absorption, mic offset, distance dependent volume scaling, width etc.

Personally I love the immediacy, clarity, beautiful sound, and ease of use of Berlin Studio.
Interesting comparison! MIR sounds a bit further away (could be the settings) and a bit more "metallic" in a way. I think Berlin Studio used the studio in the narrow setting?
 
Room sounds great! I would still use Kontakt's default impulses with the Infinite series, because for some reason the sections just sound better and without phasing issues. When playing solo that is of course a different story.

But here is an example with Vista violins (1st), CSS 2nd violins, doubled with Bohemian solo violins, and Sample modeling trumpet. I just played this quickly by ear, so please don't mind any wrong notes or badly played parts. All are run by their own Berlin Studio inserts with a few EQ tweaks and balance adjustments in the Berlin Studio plugin and in the master.
