The Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Package - Strings, Piano, Percussionis 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How does it mount in grand piano? Is it mounted in any way or just laid in?

A: Hi Barry: (Sorry I didn't realize that I needed to reply via web form)the microphone was laid in. I was worried that the foam sticker would have a dampening affect on the sound, and so I didn't use any sticker. The sound is still not good in the lower register. I continue to try different locations. Please advise.

Q: 2. What is the color temperature of this lamp--warm, cool, or somewhere in-between? I would prefer on the warm side, like the halogen lamp it will replace.

A: This light specification is 2500 Lux, therefore the light should be a warm white color.

Q: 3. Can you layer and split, such as bass on the bottom and piano with a string pad on top?

A: Yes, the Alesis Prestige 88-Key Digital Piano has both Layer and Split Modes. Split Mode enables you to split the 88 keys into two zones so that you can use two different voices. Layer Mode enables two different voices to be layered together for a fuller and richer sound.

Q: 4. Is the AC adapter a flat plug?

A: The K&M 12297 LED Piano Lamp has a transformer plug.

Q: 5. Hello besides the missing monitor is there any other accessory that is missing from this Crane set please? Thank you.

Q: 7. Can my Nikon Z8 be mounted on the bottom rail for single row panos? Will a 14mm lens show the end of the rail?

A: The design of the Nodal Ninja 6 Starter Package is made for the camera to be on the vertical rail. You can still use it with the Z8. A 14mm is a bit wide. There is a good chance you will see part of the rail using that wide a lens.

Q: 8. Can I use this with an L-Bracket? Is this model Swiss Arca Plate compatible?

A: No, the Nodal Ninja 6 Starter Package cannot be used directly with an L-Bracket. This does not have a clamp to accept arca-type plates. To attach an arca-type L-Bracket one can use the Nodal Ninja F9131 Arca-Type Right Angle Dual Clamp, BH #NOF9131 (https://bhpho.to/3EXJGsS).
