Vienna Symphonic Library Phoenix Pitched Overview

Vienna Symphonic Library Big Bang Orchestra: Phoenix Pitched Solo Percussion is a virtual instrument with a library consisting of pitched solo instruments in the categories of timpani, mallets, bells, and gongs. Derived from the premium Synchron Series libraries Synchron: Percussion I and Synchron Percussion II, these assorted instruments can be used to add distinctive pitched percussive accents to your tracks for film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.

Phoenix includes a timpani, glockenspiel, xylophone, and vibraphone. It also comes with tubular bells, plate bells, and Burma gongs. All instruments were recorded in situ— positioned on their ideal spot in the large hall at Synchron Stage Vienna—and played with the most commonly used articulations and beaters.

In addition to overhead microphones, Decca Tree, and surround mics, the instruments were isolated during the recording sessions with close microphones. This gives you more control and more creative options when mixing your sound using the included Synchron Player's internal mixer.

The software is compatible with Mac and Windows and operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. Phoenix integrates perfectly with every module in the BBO series. It is also a great addition to the BBO percussion ensemble modules including Dorado, Fornax, Quasar, and Eradinus.

Note:
Software requires a ViennaKey USB protection device or other USB eLicenser, if one is not already on the system (available separately).

Modify Your Sound with the Included Synchron Player
Factory mixer presets are based on the room microphones, leaving the section microphones disabled. Section microphones can be added to emphasize certain instrument groups.
6 levels of reverberation and additional processed presets are offered for each microphone setup: Close, Classic, Wide, Distant, Ambient, and Wet.
Change the level, panning, delay, and channel EQ settings for each channel. You can also insert any of the built-in FX plug-ins to further optimize your sound.
Room Microphones Mixer Presets
Stereo Decca Tree Presets: The Decca Tree is the microphone tree that is the heart and soul of every orchestral recording. It consists of a main stereo channel and a mono center channel, which capture the details of the room from the conductor’s perspective.
Surround-to-Stereo Presets: Offer the massive sound of all available room microphones, including the Decca Tree mics down-mixed to a stereo signal.
Surround Presets: With your Synchron Player inserted as a surround plug-in in your DAW, these presets provide the starting point for your surround setup.
