The , electronic download of SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition Volume 1 PLUS from Vienna Symphonic Library features additional articulations for the string, brass and woodwind instruments included in the SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition Volume 1 library. As an example, new articulations for the strings include short détaché, fortepiano, snap pizzicato, col legno, half and whole tone trills, repetition performances (legato & spiccato), fast repetitions (150, 170, 190 bpm), artificial harmonics (staccato & sustain), and sul ponticello (staccato, sustain, tremolo). These articulations can be used with Mac or Window computers, standalone, or running AU/VST/AAX Native compatible host software (sold separately), for producers, musicians, film composers, TV and broadcast professionals, and more.
With SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions, the original recordings were completely re-edited and enhanced. All velocity levels of each articulation and all articulations of each instrument were refined to match and blend seamlessly, not only within each instrument itself, but also in interaction with the included instruments of the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions, as well as with all other libraries of the Synchron Series. The Synchron Player also enhances the automatic triggering of release samples and therefore contributes to the overall improved realism of all included instruments.
In addition, the Vienna Synchron Player incorporates a convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro, featuring the ambience of the 5813 ft2 main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna. The reverberation and placement presets combine customized impulse responses with crafted reverb settings for each instrument or ensemble. By adding the ambience of Synchron Stage Vienna's Stage A to the relatively dry samples in real-time, the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions blend with any other product of the Synchron Series, resulting in a production-ready sound out of the box
