Material for Dorico users on the VSL website

Playback Templates allows for a fantastic "Plug & Play" experience in Dorico. With the Dorico Wizard - directly built into Vienna Assistant - users can create their own, custom-tailored playback templates.

Currently, we offer Dorico settings for the following VSL libraries:

Entry Level:

  • Synchron Prime Edition
  • SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions
  • Soft Imperial

Synchron Series:

  • Synchron Woodwinds
  • Synchron World Winds
  • Synchron Brass
  • Synchron Duality Strings
  • Synchron Elite Strings
  • Synchron Strings Pro
  • Synchron Pianos
  • Synchron Harp
  • Synchron Percussion
  • Basso Profondo Choir
  • Vienna Boys Choir

SYNCHRON-ized Series:

  • SYzd Woodwinds
  • SYzd Single Woodwind Packs
  • SYzd Solo Strings
  • SYzd Harps
  • SYzd Percussion
  • SYzd Voices
  • SYzd Saxophones
Important

Dorico 3.5 or higher is mandatory as VSL Expression Maps & Endpoint Configurations do not work with earlier versions.

Discover Dorico session

With the introduction of Dorico Wizard, VSL offers a highly improved and more comfortable installation process for playback templates. Nevertheless, John Barron's live session (Nov, 2020) on VSL Expression maps is still a valuable source for everyone new to VSL & Dorico.
