There’s no better way to achieve the perfectly precise
string ensemble blend for your project than with Synchron Duality Strings from
Vienna Symphonic Library. This VI gains producers, professional scorers, and
home-studio composers access to not only expertly sampled orchestral strings,
but an enormous variety of deliverable variations. Courtesy of two separately
sampled ensembles at Synchron Stage Vienna — one large and broad (A) and the
other smaller and more intimately miked (B) — you have the freedom to shape the
authority of your string section’s impact to speak the exact language of your
soundtrack or composition. Use each ensemble together or separately for your
specific applications, and work with an incredible selection of dark and light
microphone setups to achieve your ideal effect. Sweetwater studiophiles have
scarcely seen an orchestral VI sampled in as much detail as Synchron Duality
Strings!
Incredible dual-stage sampling
Synchron Duality Strings presents you with incredibly
versatile VI orchestral palates, and the proof is in the name! Now, with two
separate ensembles at your disposal, there are twice as many opportunities for
your musical creativity to reach new heights. Vienna Symphonic Library
simultaneously recorded two individual string ensembles of Vienna’s most
esteemed string players for Synchron Duality Strings: a large ensemble on Stage
A in the main hall and a small ensemble on Stage B. The dichotomous results laid
the foundation for a new dimensionality in VI orchestration.
Stage A’s result presented a larger, more grandiose
symphonic effect, while the smaller and dryer Stage B is accompanied by a more
transparent and intimate sound courtesy of dual microphone sets used for
recording. Both ensembles, however, were captured in perfectly synchronized
volume, timbre, note length, and so forth, allowing for a mesmerizingly
characterful stereo response. With Synchron Duality Strings, you can balance
the two ensembles to your liking by way of completely organic mixing presets or
work singularly with the ensemble that best suits the needs of your project.
Endless performance customization
There are so many explorable performance intricacies within
Synchron Duality Strings that we couldn’t possibly list them all if we tried!
However, you’ll be delighted to know you’ve got full say over the lengths and
intensities of notes with numerous legato variations, including slurred and
portamento. Level your ensemble’s attacks and releases, in addition to
tremolos, trills, pizzicato, harmonics, and countless other articulation
elements — they’re even switchable based on key velocity! From simple ambience
to clear and focused to a powerhouse of mountain-moving orchestral presence,
there’s a path for exploration for composers of all interests.
Miked to your liking
The detail of Synchron Duality Strings goes well beyond
ensemble variations — you’ve got full capability on exactly how your blended
ensemble is miked up! The dark microphone setting comes captured by Royer SF24
and Sennheiser MKH 8040 mics, while the brighter setting is achieved through
Neumann M149 and Ehrlund HER-M mics. A convenient helping of surround
microphone settings widens the orchestra, creating a denser effect. Finally, a
Room Mix Presets selection enables easy and exceptional mixdowns into immersive
audio formats such as stereo, 5.1 surround sound, and Dolby Atmos. Whatever
impact you need your composition to exhibit, Synchron Duality Strings can make
it happen!
