Has released version 2.4 beta of Synful Orchestra, a virtual instrument featuring Synful’s (RPM) technology. Changes in v2.4 beta. New: string playing modes including pizzicato, bartok-pizz, collegno, tremolo, harmonics, sul-ponticello, sul-ponticello-tremolo and mute. New: synthesis engine which preserves full 24 bit fidelity while still allowing flexible morphing capabilities needed for Synful’s RPM. New: sforzando control stretches and emphasizes the first stroke of a tremolo. Adjusting harmonic tilt, release time, and release noise level, in pizzicato strings can create all kinds of Koto, African kora, and otherworldy sounds. Added: keyswitching, flexible MIDI control mapping, many new control paramenters.

Virtual orchestra Synful Orchestra is not a sampler or a sampler library. Synful Orchestra is not a physical modeling synthesizer. It is an entirely new concept in music synthesis. At the heart of Synful Orchestra is Synful's Reconstructive Phrase Modeling (RPM) technology. This is the result of many years of research, several patents, and a lifetime of experimentation, design, and frustration with older synthesis technologies.

Synful Orchestra responds to the performer. When you play a phrase with legato and detached notes, with accents, and pedal nuances, Synful Orchestra responds with realistic sounding slurs, tonguing, and bowing. No laborious editing of performances to select from a limited set of articulations in a sample library. Instruments included: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Violin, Viola, Cello, Contrabass. Protools/RTAS Compatibility (Mac Only). Fixed memory consumption problem that caused sluggish behavior, and even occasional crashes, especially with Logic projects that include many instances of Synful Orchestra.

Fixed problem with intonation of high notes in tremolo, sul-pont, and sul-pont-tremolo playing modes. Fixed problem with enabling, saving and restoring MIDI CC control assignments – this problem only occurred under some unusual circumstances. Fixed problem with assigning MIDI CC automatically when loading pre 2.4 projects. Fixed a problem that could cause random crashes do to improper handling of note-on events with pitch slide. Fixed a problem which, under some conditions, caused the New Authorization window to come up even when Synful Orchestra was already authorized. Protected against reading in of project files containing corrupted Synful Orchestra AU preset data.

Version 2.4.1 is the first non-beta release for 2.4.x. Version 2.4.1 fixes a number of bugs associated with the beta version 2.4.0. Version 2.4.1 introduces no new features that were not in 2.4.0.

Bug fixes in 2.4.1: Fixed a bug that caused Synful Orchestra and the host sequencer to crash when scrubbing tracks by dragging the location button in DP and other sequencers. Fixed a significant bug in loading existing (pre 2.4.x) projects and templates that include Synful Orchestra.

This bug was capable of causing a wide variety of irratic behavior – host sequencer crashes, random values in controls, interference with other plugins, etc. Fixed a bug that caused slow degradation in performance over time until 100% of CPU was used – noticeable if looping for a long time (e.g. 10 minutes to 1 hour). Fixed a bug that created erratic unpredictable behavior in saving and loading new programs.

This would not cause a crash but would appear as random parameters not being saved or loaded with the project. Fixed a problem that would sometimes cause Synful Orchestra to be unrecognized by the host sequencer. Fixed problem with blank/white feature list during Windows 64 bit install and inability to complete install. Fixed problem with installaion of 64 bit Windows drivers. String Sections. Wind and Brass Sections. Any Synful Orchestra solo instrument can now be turned into a natural sounding section.

Synful Orchestra uses the RPM database to guarantee realistic variations between the players. You can select the number of players in the section, how the players are positioned on stage, the rhythmic variation between the players, detuning among the players, and more. Listen to the new Tristan und Isolde example included in the download to hear the naturalness of these sections. See the Synful Orchestra help section on Localization and Section Controls for full details about sections. Natural Divisi.

Synful Orchestra sections simulate realistic and natural divisi. For example, if you create a ten violin section Program and play a monophonic line then all ten players will play that line. If you play a ten note chord then each player will play one note in the chord.

The Synful Orchestra section automatically adapts to the changing polyphony of the part. If you play 3 note chords or polyphony then the ten players distribute themselves automatically 4-3-3 across the notes. Player Position. Synful Orchestra virtual players can be positioned in the listening room.

The position of the virtual listener can be changed and the room size can be adjusted. The new ability to create sections uses the positioning capability to make the different players in a section sound like they are spread out realistically in space. See the Synful Orchestra help section on Localization and Section Controls for full details about sections.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR LOGIC USERS: If you use Apple Logic and want to use the Synful Orchestra direct, 2 walls, or 4 walls localization controls then you must set the MIDI pan in Logic to the center or to off. This is because Logic performs panning itself which will interfere with the more powerful Synful localization modes.

Bigger and Prettier User Interface. We have added a number of controls to the Control Panel to support player localization and sections. We have also upgraded the look a bit so it's prettier and more consistent (we hope!). Degradation Over Time Bug. We fixed a problem which caused Synful Orchestra to have reduced performance over time. So if you ran for 1-2 hours you might have to stop Synful Orchestra and the host sequencer and restart them to get rid of clicks and pops that had emerged. This was quite apparent when using Cubase on PC/Windows but it was true to some extent on every platform.

Better Performance. We have improved the efficiency of Synful Orchestra so you now get more voices on the same computer. Better Note Transition Modeling. We now take better advantage of Delay for Expression for modeling note transitions, especially in advance of an upcoming note. New Orchestral Example. We have included a new MIDI example of an excerpt from Wagner's famous Prelude to Tristan und Isolde to demonstrate string and wind sections and the ability to model the entire orchestra. Program Locking.

There is now a button associated with every MIDI channel on the Control Panel that locks the Program assignment for that MIDI channel so that changes coming from a MIDI controller or from the host sequencer do not override the Program setting in the settings in the Control Panel. Enter Control Values By Typing. You can now enter control values in the Control Panel by typing in the numerical display boxes in addition to adjusting the slider or knob positions.

Synful Orchestra now supports these sample rates: 11025, 22050, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000. You do not need to do anything within Synful Orchestra. Just change the sample rate in your sequencer/DAW. Synful Orchestra Control Panel parameters are now mapped to MIDI continuous controllers for automation and interactive real-time control – see the new chapter in the help documentation for details.

A bug was fixed which affected behavior of the Synful Pitch wheel mode. This bug resulted in erratic behavior that was difficult to control.

The Synful Pitch wheel is now more responsive to quick changes. This fix may require adjustment of pitch-bend curves in existing projects. A bug was fixed that sometimes affected proper legato or slur detection especially with Delay for Expression OFF.

The Tune Orchestra slider control has been fixed. There was a bug causing the orchestra to go out of tune with itself when this slider was used. Synful Orchestra now supports Sassafras Keyserver license management system.

This is for a separate multi-seat license version of Synful Orchestra. Protools/RTAS Compatibility (Mac Only). Fixed memory consumption problem that caused sluggish behavior, and even occasional crashes, especially with Logic projects that include many instances of Synful Orchestra.
