The Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Strings I Upgrade - Downloadis a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the sound and expressiveness of multiple string sections expertly performed by the members of the Synchron Stage Orchestra and recorded with the signature ambience of the Synchron Stage Vienna scoring stage.

Synchron Strings I Full Library offers sections of 1st violins (14), 2nd violins (10), violas (8), cellos (8), and double basses (6) recorded separately at their designated positions on stage. Engineers employed eight separate phase-coherent microphone configurations, recorded simultaneously to provide a broad range of room sound options. All mic configurations can be mixed to create stereo, 5.1 surround, or 9.1 Auro 3D mixes, each with different levels of ambience and stereo panorama, from close and focused, to broad and epic.

The library comprises a wide variety of timbres and articulations including realistic legato performance, sforzando, pizzicato, vibrato, and more. The notes are sampled with up to eight velocity layers and ten variations, from pianissimo to fortissimo and everything in between. Performances are recorded and edited at "fixed gain", ensuring that all pitches, dynamic layers, articulations, and instruments precisely match with each other.

The Synchron Strings I Full Library is powered by the included Vienna Instruments player and Vienna Ensemble mixing host.

A: This software requires first that you have the Matrox VS4 Quad HD Capture Card. From there Matrox recommends a Workstation Caliber PC that uses a 64 bit version of windows. I would recommend a computer like the HP Z230 F1M26UT Tower Workstation. It has a 3.6 Ghz Quad Core i7, 16gb of ram, a 256gb SSD, 4gb graphics card, Windows 7 Pro + Windows 8.1 Pro License and USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 2 ports. It would work very well with the VS4 Recorder Pro for your application.

A: According to Matrox, Please note that the VS4Recorder Pro offers high-quality video monitoring of all inputs (ie: 4 quadrants). You can use quad-view mode to preview all four inputs simultaneously or switch to single-view mode to view each quadrant (full screen) and cycle through each of your inputs if you choose to. You cannot, however, display your video sources on 4 separate monitors.

Q: 10. will this attach to a regular tripod?

A: We have no reports of that combination and it is unsupported by warranty. That being said, the top plate of the tripod would be the crucial question. Most likely that is an industry standard diameter, so we think the chances are better than 50/50 it will attach.
