Synthogy Ivory 3 Uprights Windows installation incompatibile with Cantabile

1

An FYI for Windows Ivory 3 users:

I purchased and installed the Windows update for the two new Ivory 3 uprights. Following the installation, which includes the 3.0.8 Ivory VST3 plugin, none of the Ivory 3 pianos (American/German/Uprights) can be loaded into Cantabile Performer or the Ivory Cantabile player.

I received this clarification from Synthogy support today:

Hi Jon,
The Ivory 3 LE Uprights are currently not working under Windows with the new 3.0.8 plug-in.
For now you can innstall the older 3.0.6 plug-in to restore the functionality of your Ivory 2 and other Ivory 3 pianos. With 3.0.6 installed you will not see the new LE Uprights until we have a new version of 3.0.8. We hope to have a new version/fix soon.
Performing a clean install of 3.0.6 will not disturb your other VST’s which use PACE.
Regards,
Synthogy Tech Support

FIXED
:
Synthogy sent me an updated v3.0.8.1 installer for Windows:

https://sustain.synthogy.com/download/ivory3/Install%20Ivory%203%20LE%20Uprights%203.0.8.1.exe

They’ve indicated that it will be on their web site later today.

I tested it with the two new uprights and the American/German Ivory 3 pianos. All good!

Windows 11?

Yes. Windows 11. They all sound quite good with the update.

Successfully installed Ivory 3 American Concert D v3.0.8 last week, but on a Win 10 PC.

Hi Paulo, are there new sample sets for American Concert D v 3 or is it the old v 2 library with the new engine?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Ivory 3 has a completely new set of samples, with its own player. Once installed, you still have the Ivory II as well, with your old engine.

IMHO, in a gig I won’t play i3 since the CPU usage is a bit high. Say TL=18% vs 3%, and the nuances that i3 can provide are not that great compared to those of i2.

P.S. I’m in love with the Pianoteq Kawai grand. This is the first time I think that a modeled piano is better than my beloved huge libraries. :wink:
