SYNCHRON-ized Cymbals & Gongs

This Percussion Pack is based on the VI Series libraries Cymbals as well as Tamtams & Gongs and includes the updated sample database of instruments that were recorded in the tight and controlled ambience of Vienna’s second studio, the Silent Stage. They can therefore be placed in any acoustic environment and anywhere in a room. Each instrument comes with customized impulse responses that make placing them in their perfect sounding spot on the virtual Synchron Stage Vienna a breeze.

SYNCHRON-ized Cymbals & Gongs

Compared to the instruments of Synchron Cymbals & Gongs that were recorded on Vienna’s own scoring stage, the instruments of the SYNCHRON-ized 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.

  • 10 Piatti
  • 13 Suspended cymbals
  • Finger cymbals
  • 14 Tam-tams
  • Gongs
