A subset of the Synchron Percussion III collection, Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Bells III Full Library is a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the sound of cencerros, hand bells, rin bells, bell tree, and jingle bells. You also get the the unique Low Bells & Pianos ensemble setup as well as the High Bells ensemble 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 45.3GB Full Library comprises more than 49,404 samples.
