    No, we don't know, this has already been published:

    VSL HELLO Soft Imperial v1.1 for Synchron Player-R2R

    Grand Subtleness Indulge in the gentle sounds and colors of a magnificent Bösendorfer Imperial. Rather than being dull or muffled, the clear and transparent tones of this beautiful grand piano lend themselves well to a lot of styles, from intimate and sparse arrangements to larger instrumentations.

    No no no, this is a separate player for piano, organs, harps. Soft Imperial - this is a downgraded version of the Synchron Boesendorfer Imperial.
    VSL have a Synchron Pianos Bundle, and Studio Pianos Bundle, this all (4 instruments in Synchron Pianos Collection and 7 insruments (with FX) in Studio Pianos Collection) - only can load in Vienna Synchron Piano Player. (Vienna Synchron Player - this is only for orchestral packs), R2R even separated the instructions and magic files for these two different players in its manual.

    P.S:
    I assume that someone carefully cut out the patched Synchron Piano Player installation file from the archive, although there was only one manual for two players, which makes it clear that in fact both players should have been supplied in a single package. That's why I'm asking when the Synchron Piano Player will become available.

    I think it just takes longer to upload, and its logic they start from smaller releases

    I must say these small string libraries (small i mean around 10gb, 5gb not those 50+ gb) these sound incredible, i'm not big on cinematic/orchestral thing, as a modern music producer i find them very useful, very playable and extremely responsive at your fingertips, they will eventually replace many Kontakt libraries that i have now.

    I interpreted their message as: If pepole provide loads of Ivory and VSL libraries, they will publish more iLok stuff.
    As there's a surprisingly massive amount of VSL libraries on the site, do you think that this was the actual gong, or was it a precursor to something that is just about to happen?

    What do you know about the R2R team?
    How many hours a day do they work? When do they take vacations? How many people work there? In short, we don't know!

    I think they are hardworking, and everything that can be cracked and that they have will be released. R2R once wrote that many people have misconceptions about how much time they need to invest to crack something; some things are quick, others take several days, if not weeks. I think there's more to come from the R2R team.

    Just for info I remember some old NFO from Assign (pre-R2R) listing the full crew : ~8 people if I remember right but as far as they switched to R2R in 2012 no doubt the team members probably evolved since then ...
