The Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Bösendorfer Upright Upgrade to Full Library is for owners of the instrument's Standard Library who want to access its Full Library. Upgrading to the 99.4GB Synchron Bösendorfer Upright Full Library provides you with up to 119,464 samples recorded with 8 different microphone combinations (including surround and surround-to-stereo-downmix presets), making even more timbral variations available for your productions. The software is compatible with Mac and Windows, and operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats.
Note:
Software requires a ViennaKey USB protection device or other USB eLicenser, if one is not already on the system (available separately).

Preset Categories
- Decca Tree Multi Mic: The classic sound of a Decca tree stereo recording offers a more slender sound with less diffusion compared to the “Room Mix” Presets.
- Surround to Stereo Downmix: These presets include all available room microphones with various runtime delays, creating more diversity in the perception of room depth.
- Surround: Designed to send the microphone signals to your available surround channels
