Synchron Orchestral Percussion I Full Library from Vienna Symphonic Library is a virtual instrument with a library that captures the sound and character of five woodblocks, two pairs of castanets, seven triangles, three shakers, masterfully played in Synchron Stage Vienna—one of world's best-sounding scoring stages. The instruments were recorded with every nuanced detail using seven, phase-controlled multi-microphone setups, which can be mixed to create stereo, 5.1 surround or Auro 3D mixes, each with different levels of ambience and stereo panorama.
Synchron Orchestral Percussion I is powered by the included Vienna Instruments and Vienna Instruments Pro players, or using the company's mixing hosts Vienna Ensemble and Vienna Ensemble Pro (available separately). This 47.4GB library comprises more than 43,288 samples with a wide variety of timbres and articulations, from rolls to patterns, in various meters and speeds.
