Synthesizer V

Dorico
21

Yup, I noticed this as well.

22

Also, has anyone else found an issue with playback syncing between Dorico and SynthV? SV does not in my instance want to follow the host properly, i.e. doesn’t rewind to bar 1, instead playing from bar 9 or something…

EDIT: I found the solution: SynthV does NOT deal well with a pre-roll set in Dorico! The team might want to look into this… :wink:

Repro: Set a pre-roll of any amount…

Cheers,

What does that mean (in Dorico terminology)?

24

Yes I have found this too with Synth V starting immediately and playing already a few measures in, and then Dorico starting from the beginning, several seconds later. I’m on Windows 11 and find that the latest Beta release also plays havoc with Dorico as it causes the Audio engine to crash when trying to scan it. It takes several times of opening and closing Dorico to even get Dorico to start with the Audio engine timing out several times before I can get Dorico to finally open.

I have. I actually opened a thread about it here SynthV beta Bug - #3 by Pete_the_Musician

… and suggested a workaround.

I haven’t tried with preroll.

My suspicion is that the cause is that there used to be an earlier flow in your piece which was then deleted. (Or perhaps you’re actually not using flow 1?)

26

No, there wasn’t another flow, but thanks for thinking along! Plus, the issue clears immediately when removing the pre-roll.

AFAIK, Dorico doesn’t yet (completely?) output tempo changes to VSTs, so that might be connected.

Same here, it took several times hitting “wait longer” for it to start…

what it specifically doesn’t do (as I understand it) is manage beat-related effects, which in the VST are locked to the DAW’s tempo. I’m not clear whether SynthV is staying in sync or not, because I’ve imported a musicxml that didn’t stay in sync, and then after editing & re-exporting, it did stay in sync.

Only the initial tempo.

Correct, thanks for confirming!

I’ve fixed some “la” problems by deleting and then re-entering the lyric - especially with tied notes. I think, if you attach a lyric to a quarter note, then add an eighth note and tie it to the quarter, you will get a la for the eighth - even though it’s tied. If you tie the eighth to the quarter BEFORE adding the lyric (or deleting and re-adding the lyric), I believe it works correctly.

IMHO, of course!
