Studio Cymbals & Gongs

Compared to the instruments of Synchron Cymbals & Gongs 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 and its advanced algorithms and features. The volume levels of all articulations have been precisely adjusted and matched, balancing the dynamic ranges of all instruments for seamless, natural performances when switching through various articulations.

Included instruments:

10 Piatti
13 Suspended cymbals
Finger cymbals
14 Tam-tams
Gongs
6 China gongs
5 Peking opera gongs
