Studio Special Woodwinds
VSL's Synchron Special Woodwinds introduces six distinctive instruments—bass flute, contrabass flute, oboe d’amore, bass oboe, Eb clarinet, and contrabass clarinet—meticulously recorded at Vienna Synchron Stage. Each instrument offers a full set of articulations, including lyrical legato, dynamic swells, trills, and flutter-tongue effects, providing composers with a rich palette of expressive possibilities. The innovative Flow View interface ensures intuitive control over articulations, enhancing your creative workflow.
Studio Special Woodwinds
While Studio Woodwinds includes all the instruments of a triple woodwind line-up that is typically used for large orchestrations, these additional instruments included in the Studio Special Woodwinds expand the woodwind section in range, color and style:
- Studio Alto Flute
- Studio Bass Flute
- Studio Oboe d’Amore
- Studio Heckelphone
- Studio Clarinet (Eb)
- Studio Basset Horn
- Studio Contrabass Clarinet
What’s more, these ensembles consist of three musicians who were recorded together playing in unison:
The ensembles lend themselves well to large orchestrations, holding their own against large string and brass sections. Their well-balanced ensemble sound can be emphasized in the mix and still blends well with the orchestra, without risking that one of the instruments stands out as a solo instrument.
All solo and ensemble instruments feature the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of Studio Woodwinds, offering various short and long notes, legato variants (including fast legatos that let you play trills), dynamic articulations such as crescendos and diminuendos, fp, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue, trills, repetitions and more.
Refined from the ground up
Starting with the raw, unprocessed original Silent Stage recordings for the VI Single Instruments and Woodwind Collections, Vienna’s team of sound editors re-created a perfectly balanced and pristine-sounding sample database, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.
The Synchron Player’s integrated convolution reverb, derived from Vienna MIR Pro, 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 each instrument on 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.
Crossgrade prices from the Standard Libraries and the Full Libraries of the corresponding VI Single Instruments, Collections and Studio Special Editions are available.
