This crossgrade version of Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Strings Pro Full Library is for owners of Synchron Strings I Full Library who want to access the detailed articulations and natural note transitions offered by Synchron Strings Pro Full Library.
Synchron Strings Pro Full Library is a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the sound and expressiveness of fourteen 1st violins, ten 2nd violins, eight violas, eight cellos, and six double basses. Expertly performed by the members of the Synchron Stage Orchestra and recorded with the signature ambience of the Synchron Stage Vienna scoring stage, this powerful and versatile Pro version offers a wealth of additional articulations with an abundance of choices and a multitude of presets in an instrument that's easy to use right out of the box. The result elevates these string ensembles to the next level of liveliness and expressive potential needed for authentic musical performances and dramatic scoring.
The Synchron Strings Pro Full Library includes a few articulations from Synchron Strings I (staccatos, legatos senza, and molto vibrato, long notes, flautandos, and more). But most articulations are new recordings with special attention to attack and release variations and natural note transitions. Agile legatos—portamento, spiccato, détaché, and expressivo—let you play all imaginable runs and figures in all tempos, with natural flow and authentic note transitions automatically provided by the included Synchron Player.
The short notes category includes new spiccatos (shorter, more pointed variants to the staccatos), bold staccatos (for slower tempos) and agile staccatos (for faster tempos), as well as détachés that can be played as originally recorded or shorter, thanks to the Synchron Player's evolved release trigger technology.
Legato transitions were added to the flautando playing technique to make this very soft sound available for melodies. Sforzatos, crescendos, and diminuendos can also be played shorter than their recorded length, which makes them usable for a wide range of applications. Ponticello (staccatos, sustains, legatos, tremolos), col legno, and harmonics round out the rich palette of included playing techniques.
The string sections were recorded separately at their designated positions onstage. Engineers employed eight separate phase-coherent microphone configurations, recorded simultaneously to provide a broad range of room-sound options. All mic configurations can be mixed to create stereo, 5.1 surround, 9.1 Auro 3D mixes, or any other immersive audio format such as Dolby Atmos, each with different levels of ambience and stereo panorama, from close and focused to broad and epic.
