Studio Baroque Oboe
Experience the rich, expressive tones of the Baroque era with VSL's Baroque Oboe. Spanning C4 to D6, this virtual instrument captures the nuanced sound of its historical counterpart, offering composers and producers an authentic palette for period and contemporary works alike. Designed for use with the Synchron Player, it ensures smooth integration into modern production environments, allowing for detailed articulation control and dynamic expression.
The Baroque oboe is a double reed woodwind instrument that appeared in the mid-17th century. It is also called “hautbois” which is derived from the compound French word haut (“high”, “loud”) and bois (“wood”, “woodwind”), covering the soprano range from c1 to d3. As opposed to the modern oboe, the Baroque oboe has only three keys. In order to produce higher pitches, the player has to “overblow”, meaning to increase the force of air to reach the next harmonic.
The Synchron Player’s integrated convolution reverb adds the outstanding ambience of the 540 m² (5,813 sq.ft.) main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna to the dry samples in real-time. Expertly crafted mixer presets place the instrument at its perfect spot on stage, resulting in a production-ready sound “out of the box” that blends seamlessly with the instruments of Studio Woodwinds as well as with every other product in the Synchron Series.
