Vienna Symphonic Library Tin Whistles Overview

The Synchron Tin Whistles from Vienna Symphonic Library is a comprehensive virtual instrument based on the 19th century tin whistle, an end-blown flutelike woodwind instrument popularly played throughout Ireland and Great Britain. The agile tin whistle can easily go from soft to penetrating and is now available for the first time as part of VSL's advanced Synchron line of virtual instrument libraries.

This Standard Library contains stereo Decca Tree Main/Room mics, a stereo Mid position, a mono close mic, and the Decca Tree mono centre mic.. The Tin Whistles library includes numerous distinct articulations, all fully playable from the free included Venna Synchron Player program, and is available in Audio-Unit, VST, AAX Native, and standalone formats for macOS and Windows computers.

Note:
This license is for the Standard library version, which includes 29,105 samples in an 8.4GB library.
Six Versatile Woodwinds
Tin whistles, also called penny whistles due to their affordable price, originated in the 19th century in Great Britain and Ireland. The six-holed woodwind instruments are especially popular in Irish, Scottish, and Celtic music. Despite its high register, the sound of the tin whistle can be quite soft and lyrical, but it can also soar above the other instruments with assertiveness and agility.

This Synchron World Winds Pack includes six tin whistles in the keys of G, D, C, A, F, and Low D. Typical playing techniques include slides and ornaments such as cuts, taps, rolls, and grace notes, which have all been sampled in great detail and are now easily accessible in the clearly laid out patch structure of the Vienna Synchron Player.

Played by a Professional
All six tin whistles included in this pack were played by multi-instrumentalist, folk instruments expert, and member of the Synchron Stage Orchestra, Veronika Vitazkova. She played in many orchestras, among them the Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, and Tonkünstler Orchestra, toured Europe as a solo flutist with the late Ennio Morricone, and played at esteemed festivals from Salzburger Festspiele to Hollywood in Vienna.

Having performed on countless film scores at Synchron Stage Vienna, Veronika feels very much at home on the large Stage A and marvels at the exceptional acoustics of this scoring stage that contribute substantially to the overall sound of each instrument.

Every Nuance Captured
To capture the spectacular ambience of Stage A of Synchron Stage, VSL's engineers employed phase-coherent microphone configurations to provide a broad range of room options. All signals are available as separate channels in the mixer section of the Vienna Synchron Player. A wide variety of presets offer perfect mixer settings and serve as great starting points for your own sound creations.
Diatonic Scale
Under the Content tab you'll find a list of each whistle's natural sampled tones, which are diatonic as opposed to chromatic. Nonetheless, this software instrument provides chromatic keyboard mappings for every instrument. In addition, legatos were sampled chromatically. If you want your composition to be played by a tin whistle player, please bear in mind that not everything you write and play on the keyboard may be possible to perform for a musician, due to the nonchromatic nature of each instrument.
