Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Percussion Bundle Full Library is an extensive collection with all Synchron percussion instruments. It includes the Full Libraries of Synchron Percussion I, Synchron Percussion II, Synchron Percussion III, and Synchron Power Drums for a total of 19 percussion libraries—1.0TB with 1,338,359 samples.
All instruments of this collection were recorded with seven separate phase-coherent microphone configurations in Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. Using the included Vienna Synchron Player, all mic configurations can be mixed to create stereo, 5.1 surround, or 9.1 Auro-3D mixes, each with different levels of ambience and stereo panorama, from close and focused, to broad and epic.
Note:
Software requires a ViennaKey USB protection device or other USB eLicenser (available separately), if one is not already on the system.
