For the first time in Vienna Symphonic Library’s long history of developing sample libraries, this Collection includes production-ready musical textures and loops using a 50-piece string orchestra, enabling you to create everything from ethereal, spheric soundscapes to pulsating melodic ornaments, suspense clusters and aggressive strikes! The standard library contains 33,242 samples.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eExplore new sonic worlds!\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSynchron FX Strings I is an infinite source of inspiration and a fantastic tool for designing entire worlds. Easily create effects and soundscapes by holding one or two keys, and add variety and changing colors by moving pre-configured controllers. We captured unique sounds and playing techniques that have never been sampled before. Where other products quickly reach their intrinsic limits, your musical journey into previously unheard sonic worlds is just beginning with Synchron FX Strings I.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhereas Vienna’s excellent musicians usually avoid experimentation during sampling sessions, in this case they were asked to cast aside convention and go far beyond their normal limits. The result is a treasure trove of tonal and atonal textures and elements that you may blend effortlessly for creating your very personal, unique sound. All varieties and combinations are easily accessed with the new Vienna Synchron Player. Synchron FX Strings I is not limited to orchestral applications but can be used in any contemporary genre and style, such as Ambient, Alternative, EDM, World and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e     \u003chr\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eAll-new Synchron Player\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSynchron FX Strings I comes with the dedicated Synchron Player that incorporates a brand new audio engine built from the ground up. It provides unprecedented streaming performance and a new level of sophisticated simplicity – just step through the articulations, select their variations and explore how the pre-configured controllers (Density, Bow Style and Velocity Crossfade) affect the loaded preset.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Synchron Player also includes an internal mixer with 5-band EQ, individual delay settings for runtime compensation, algorithmic reverb, phase switching and panorama controls. It runs under Windows and Mac OS X as a VST, AU and AAX Native plug-in in your DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003e50 Microphones – 50 Musicians\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWe spared no effort recording Synchron FX Strings I, using dedicated close microphones for each player of the string orchestra. For easy handling, you have quick access to six stereo down-mixes of these individual close mic signals (Violins 1 \u0026amp; 2, Violas 1 \u0026amp; 2, Cellos, Double Basses). Due to the comprehensive selection of further stereo and room mic arrays you can create your individual string ensemble sound in stereo, 5.1 surround, or even 9.1 immersive audio format, using the player’s full-fledged mixer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMicrophone Positions:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRoom Mix – Down-mix of positions 6 - 10 (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClose Mics for each ensemble (mono each)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMid Mic – Front of High String Ens.

By using the pre-configured controllers you may adjust the “bow style” and “density” in real-time, e.g., for building up tension by gradually blending from basic to more complex and agile variations of one of the same pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpherical Textures (e.g., slightly pulsing effects with aleatoric rhythms and random bow changes)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpherical Chord Textures – based on the so-called “Alpha“-chord (please see more details below)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCharacter Textures – screaming and shouting high strings and grumbling low strings, aleatoric cluster FX with random pizzicatos, dirty and aggressive sounds with high bow pressure, ethereal “outer space” sounds performed behind the bridge, staggered, pulsating bow-bouncings on a string, melodic ornaments in the Ionian scale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlissandos – regular and fingered, available in “regular”, “half-tremolo”, and “ponticello” bow styles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRises \u0026amp; Hits – upward runs and glissandos with high dynamics and exaggerated crescendo, with speed variations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClusters – short and long note clusters, as well as glissando clusters with speed variations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHarmonic FX – “freaky” sounds, e.g., with slightly detuned harmonics or upward and downward glissandos\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePizzicato FX – e.g., random pizzicatos in various tempos or finger glissandos after the pizzicato\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecial Pads – various “breathy“ sounds, e.g., by strings tuned down a minor third\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInspiration XFades – crossfading combinations from different preset categories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Alpha chord (spherical chord textures)\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe spherical chord textures are based on the “Alpha chord” that is composed of two symmetric layered diminished seventh chords, with a whole tone gap in between. In Synchron FX Strings I this chord is featured in its basic form (on center key “C”) and in two inversions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe notes of the alpha chord are derived from an alternating octatonic (eight-note) whole step-half step scale.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe whole step-half step (or “diminished”) scale was first found in 20th century music, particularly in the music of Béla Bartók, Alexander Skrjabin and Olivier Messiaen, e.g., in his magnum opus, the “Turangalîla” symphony. Messiaen described this scale as the second mode of his seven “modes with limited transpositions”, as it can only be transposed three times (the fourth transposition would already be a repetition). Apart from the above-mentioned composers, the scale is frequently used in Jazz music.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSystem Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePC Windows 7\/8\/10 (latest update, 64-bit), Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emacOS 10.10 (latest update) or higher, Intel Core 2 Duo\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSSD (M2, Sata 6 or USB3\/3.1 UASP Support) for sample content\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAU\/VST\/AAX Native compatible host (AAX version requires Pro Tools 10.3.5 or higher)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVIENNA KEY (Vienna Symphonic Library USB protection device) or other USB eLicenser (e.g., from Steinberg or Arturia)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree hard drive space Standard Library: 41.2 GB (individual microphone data can be removed)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFree hard drive space Full Library: 66.6 GB (individual microphone data can be removed)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOther configurations may work but are not actively supported\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eRecommended:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWindows 7\/8\/10 (latest update, 64-bit), Intel i5\/i7\/Xeon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emacOS 10.12 (or higher), Intel i5\/i7\/Xeon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e16 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e88 key master keyboard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vienna Symphonic Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450284142695,"sku":"101404","price":252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/vienna-synchron-fx-strings-i_101405_1_64b84151-d03e-4f48-a75b-1630afc67090.jpg?v=1787092450","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/vienna-synchron-fx-strings-i-standard-electronic-delivery","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
