Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Timpani III Upgrade to Full Library is for owners of the Synchron Timpani III Standard Library who want to access the Full Library.
Upgrading to the 25GB Full Library provides you with up to 29,794 samples recorded simultaneously with seven separate phase-coherent microphone configurations and with every nuanced detail to provide a broad range of room-sound options. 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.

Realistic Timbres and Articulations
- The library provides various types of rolls. Static rolls were performed without changing dynamics and allow you to transition smoothly through velocity layers from pianissimo to fortissimo.
- Dynamic rolls were performed with dynamic changes (crescendos and diminuendos) spanning 2, 4, 6, and 8 seconds.
- Release the key at any time, and the individually adapted release samples will be triggered automatically.
Special Patch and Preset
- For an especially powerful and full sound, there’s a Patch offering two timpani tuned in octaves and recorded simultaneously
- In order to facilitate working with Synchron Percussion’s timpani, there is a preset that combines all patches of Synchron Timpani I, II, and III, and enables you to switch easily between soft, medium, and hard mallets.
