Vienna Symphonic Vienna Studio Contrabass Clarinet is a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the deep, sonorous tone and expressiveness of a contrabass clarinet. Based on the VI Special Woodwinds collection, the library was reedited and optimized for the included Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease of use of all articulations and providing a quick and creative workflow for realistic contrabass-clarinet performances—ideal for film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.
The library features a full set of articulations that's on par with the instruments of Studio Woodwinds, offering various short and long notes, legato variants (including fast legatos that let you play trills), dynamic articulations such as crescendos and diminuendos, flutter tongue, and more.
The contrabass clarinet was recorded in the tightly controlled ambience of Vienna's purpose-built Silent Stage and virtually placed on the large Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna using the Synchron Player's integrated convolution reverb technology. Mixer presets place the instrument in its perfect spot onstage, resulting in a production-ready sound out of the box that blends seamlessly with the instruments of Studio Woodwinds as well as with every other product in the Synchron Series.
