A subset of the Synchron Percussion III collection, Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Timpani III Full Library is a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the sound of five Adams timpani played with hard mallets as they are used most frequently for performing music of the Baroque and Classical era. This collection also includes the Big Timpani setup of Big Bang Orchestra Fornax (Pitched Percussion Ensembles).
The instruments were masterfully played in Synchron Stage A, Vienna at their designated positions onstage. Engineers employed seven separate phase-coherent microphone configurations, recorded simultaneously with every nuanced detail to provide a broad range of room-sound options. 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. This 25GB Full Library comprises more than 29,794 samples.
- Synchron Timpani III offers five Adams timpani (20, 23, 26, 29, and 32") played with hard mallets and covering a range of two octaves, from C2 to C4. Single hits were recorded in open and muted variants with 12 dynamic layers and 4 round-robins for single strokes.
- The library also includes the Big Timpani setup of Big Bang Orchestra Fornax (Pitched Percussion Ensembles), featuring odaiko (the largest taiko drum), two timpani tuned in octaves, and bass drum Dicke Bertha, all performed and recorded together.
- 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.
- 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. (Synchron Timpani I and II available separately)
