Studio Mallets
Compared to the instruments of Synchron Mallets that were recorded on Vienna’s own scoring stage, the instruments of the Studio Collection were not only captured in a different acoustic environment, they’re also different makes of the same instruments with their own individual sound characteristics and were played by different musicians, therefore adding more flexibility and a greater variety to your percussion arsenal.
The entire sample database was optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player. The volume levels of all articulations have been meticulously overhauled, balancing the dynamic ranges of all instruments for the most natural performances.
