I own all VSL woodwinds instruments, which are basically a FULL library, and after the upgrade they will descent to Standard Library hmmm... and then we will need to purchase another new update for the full lib's version again?
@Ben: could you explain how the legatos can have more velocity layers than the full version on VIpro? did you record additional ones or were not all velocity layers included back then?
Same here. I'd like to hear more of a comparison, because I'm quite happy with the Wooodwinds like they are.Going to cost me around £ 130 to upgrade form the special editions. Tempting - but I don't really need it...
(But since when has that stopped anyone from round these parts.)
Hmmmmm
Must say the fact that there's no detailed comparison video showing all the new features (and sounds) makes me think VSL isn't that confident about these "Synchronizations".
They haven't done a comparative video (new vs old) for any of the new Synchronized versions afaik. Imo, if they think these are so much better sound-wise and performance wise, they would have done lots of communication in that direction. Maybe the Woodwinds will be different?Come on man. Ben from VSL told you just yesterday in this very thread that they needed some time to put out a more detailed walkthrough. How urgent can it be?
Agreed.. I am so pissed on so many levels:I own all VSL woodwinds instruments, which are basically a FULL library, and after the upgrade they will descent to Standard Library hmmm... and then we will need to purchase another new update for the full lib's version again?

Reminds me of many discussions to 8Dio Addagio and Antholoy. And I understand if it confuses owners of current libraries.These new re-packages are streamlined and particularly interesting for newcomers, intergrate into their new Synchron ecosystem (which is relevant), and are of course also a way to make more money on older products. Not a crime either. If you're already happy with the original libraries and aren't sure if re-bying them is really worth it, then why do it?
Maybe that's why I wrote "Imo" (in my opinion)? This is a forum where we do just that, give our opinions.That's your own interpretation….
Orchestral Tools already mentioned they won't make you pay to play the same instrument you already purchased on Kontakt on their new upcoming player! and VSL, I know what I will get for this post, so please don't do the same instruments from scratch again! just convert to the new player
Exactly! I would love to pay a few bucks for getting a reworked instrument, if it can be shown that it is worth the fee! But all of these synchronizations don’t seem to be made with owners of the original licenses in mind ... so far, I couldn’t get myself to buy any of them.I own all VSL woodwinds instruments, which are basically a FULL library, and after the upgrade they will descent to Standard Library hmmm... and then we will need to purchase another new update for the full lib's version again?
Well what you’re saying makes nore sense.. Instead if i buy this new “upgrade”, then tfor the extra /re-edited samples i have to go to the Synchron version, and for the other instruments i have to go to Vi Pro.. all this to use the same product by the same company.. this doesn’t make sense... better yet, pay extra to get back the other instruments in an upcoming “update”; smart marketing strategy [edited].But I have to confess that I want to have the new samples for the VI libraries, especially more velocity layers for the legatos. For this I am willing to pay, but not the other way round.
Synchron winds sounds appealing to me as a result but I am wondering if it is possible to get a dry sound that sounds the same as the regular VI-based winds?
One thing that drives me crazy with the winds are the sudden transitions between velocity layers, which maybe aren't as bad in the full winds as they are in the SE.
It's better, but the legatos still have two or three layers in the VI full instruments, not much a difference. The sustains and short notes have more.
The SYNCHRON-ized woodwinds have more layers, and they are very smooth.
