VSL Mystery release??? (UPDATE: Synchron Duality Strings)

[Beat Kaufmann]

There's a lot of talk here about the Duality Strings library and theorizing about what it sounds like.
As an alternation, here's an example of what it sounds like in practice.
This time especially the bass/cello register. Beethoven, Symphony No 9, exerpt

• Reference Riccardo Muti (Used to make the mockup musically similar)
• VSL-Duality_Strings

Have fun

Your mockups are always very very good and duality strings in this one are really impressive.
Thanks a lot for sharing your work.

Hi Beat, any news about your Duality-Strings-Demo-Video?

Unfortunately, I had a lot of work to do in September (from your point of view), was also on vacation for a week and therefore did not get to bring the video much further so far. After all, I have meanwhile collected a lot of source material, created the concept and also started with it. The video should also show details in production steps, which should also help VSL newbies to understand how such mockups come about. It will therefore be a somewhat longer video.
Therefore, I believe that it will surely take until the end of October until the video can go online.

So, sorry not to have more positive news. I shouldn't have announced the video so early. But, you're always wiser after the fact.

Hi Edu. Thank you for the kind words about my mockups.
I can say that with Duality Strings it is quite easy to produce music. With previous libraries, it was actually more difficult to breathe "life" (i.e. music) into the samples.

I'm quite looking forward to this Beat. Your videos on placement and mixing in the Synchron Player have been very informative and helpful.

Ok, I am impressed to say the least!

Likewise. Much quicker than I expected as well. I suppose we may see the Sul Ponticello + Sul Tasto by the year's end if the timing will be the same.

If they mantain the same quality and gorgeous sound it is a new staple for me. It's been years since I heard sordino strings sounding this good.

 

[madfloyd]

Free upgrade...... yay! or is it?

Completely separate release with its own pricing, like Berlin Strings vs Berlin Con Sordino Strings.

Were the Sul Ponticello and Sul Tasto talked about during the product release I don't recall anything like that being said

When regular Duality Strings were talked about by during release on the forums, it was mentioned that we'd also be getting Con Sord as well as Tasto and Pont. Also, in the video for Con Sord, at the end, you can see down on the bottom of the video "Next Up Ponticello and Flautando" (I know flautando is not necessarily sul tasto, but, to me, they sound the same or at least very similar, so I equate them as being the same)

Darn, I have less than a month to come up with $700 lol

Exactly my thoughts - No idea if I should be happy or sad about this release (at this time)

 

[artomatic]

I have the Duality Standard. No upgrade/loyalty path?

 

[Michael Antrum]

You have intro pricing, which is generally the lowest price at which you will ever get a library.

 

[Robert_G]

I'm guessing that 2023 orchestras don't need solo strings. They need several ensemble libraries instead.

You're late

Tip for getting Synchron Duality Strings (Sordino) with an extra discount - only valid 'till the end of today (Oct 3rd).

Bestservice.com has a sale where you can get an extra discount of 40 Euro for orders above 199 Euro - which ends today. Get the standard version first with 40 Euro off coupon. You'll get the serial number sent by e-mail immediately. Register the serial number at your VSL account.

Then buy the full library at bestservice, and check your VSL account from within the shopping cart to get the price down to the upgrade price of 240 Euro. Add the 40 Euro off discount code and the bestcoins you received for the first order. Within one working day you'll get the upgrade to the full library (this has to go manually by bestservice). In total about 19 bestcoins and 40 + 40 is almost 100 Euro discount on top of the intro price. Of course you can't get a refund this way, but who would want that anyway?

PS: bestservice has full and standard versions named wrong, but that can be safely ignored.
