#VSL #Garritan #CFX
Hello and welcome to the Merriam Pianos YouTube channel. We’ve got another one for you here in our ongoing series on VST’s as we pit two samples of the Yamaha CFX concert grand against each other with the Garritan vs the VSL Synchron library.
Despite both VST’s being based on the Yamaha CFX, they actually offer highly different musical experiences. Without question two of the most popular VST’s out there, we hope you enjoy this comparison!

Background:
The Garritan CFX runs for about $200 USD. The VSL Synchron we’re looking at today is the standard library and not the Deluxe one, but it’s still fairly pricey at about $300 USD, whereas the Deluxe one is around $700 USD.
These two plugins do not deliver the same product despite being built off of the same acoustic piano. The interfaces are also quite different, which could be a deciding factor for some folks.
General Observations:
The VSL delivers a very high level of detail, which the Garritan can’t match, even with extensive tweaking of the settings. This is especially apparent in the treble. For solo playing, particularly classical, the VSL definitely seems like the obvious choice. For everyday playing, there’s a not really a clear winner, and personal preference will be the deciding factor.
Garritan CFX:
The Garritan has three different mic setups, and they’ve captured a full sample set up for each mic configuration - ‘Player’, ‘Classic’ and ‘Contemporary’.
VSL Synchron:
There are 5 different captures with the VSL, which can be mixed and matched at will. There’s less variety of mic placements here, but more flexibility with regards to configurations.
Sound:
There’s more detail, especially in the ‘air’ around the tone with the VSL plugin. That said, we actually prefer the way the CFX was voiced with the Garritan sample.
Another big difference comes down to the rooms. The Garritan sounds like it was recorded in a smaller room resulting in greater tonal reflection, and a more textured ambience.
User Interface:
The VSL is nice in that, if you get away from using the presets, it’s pretty easy to use, and actually feels like you’re mixing like you would in a recording session.
On the Garritan, there’s a variety of microphones and mic placements, with great variety of textures.
Summary:
If you’re looking for a plugin that offers a wide variety of recording approaches and compression settings, especially for contemporary recording, the Garritan is a wonderful option.
When it comes to exposed, solo playing, the VSL Synchron is the superior choice here in our opinion
Ultimately, both are great VST’s, and your choice will likely come down to what kind of project you intend to use a VST for.
Thanks so much for watching!.
