SYNCHRON-ized Single Woodwinds Package

SYNCHRON-ized SINGLE WOODWINDS PACKAGE

This bundle includes all the separately available SYNCHRON-ized Single Woodwind Packs that broaden the range of instruments of Vienna’s SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds Collection. Each Single Woodwind Pack contains the sample database of the corresponding VI Single Instrument that was re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player.

While SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds includes all the instruments of a triple woodwind line-up that is typically used for large orchestrations, these additional instruments included in the SYNCHRON-ized Single Woodwinds Package expand the woodwind section in range, color and style:

SYNCHRON-ized Alto Flute

SYNCHRON-ized Bass Flute

SYNCHRON-ized Oboe d’Amore

SYNCHRON-ized Heckelphone

SYNCHRON-ized Clarinet (Eb)

SYNCHRON-ized Basset Horn

SYNCHRON-ized Contrabass Clarinet

What’s more, these ensembles consist of three musicians who were recorded together playing in unison:

SYNCHRON-ized Flute Ensemble

SYNCHRON-ized Oboe Ensemble

SYNCHRON-ized Clarinet Ensemble

SYNCHRON-ized Bassoon Ensemble

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 SYNCHRON-ized 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 SYNCHRON-ized 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 SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions are available.

SYNCHRON-ized Alto Flute

This Single Woodwind Pack brings the alto flute from Vienna’s acclaimed VI Woodwinds II Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

The alto flute in G is a transposing instrument that extends the flutes’ lower tonal range. There are two types: the straight shape and that with a curved headpiece. A straight-headed model was used for the recordings. The alto flute has a full, warm sound suggesting mystery, especially in the lower range.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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 and more.

SYNCHRON-ized Bass Flute

It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

The bass flute is a very special gem. With its velvety, earthy sound, it expands the flute family to its lowest register, evoking mystery and depth in dramatic music. The bass flute sounds an octave lower than the concert flute and has a characteristically curved headpiece. To hold the heavy instrument, flutist Vera Fischer had to suspend it with two slings during the exhaustive recordings at the Silent Stage.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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.

SYNCHRON-ized Oboe d'Amore

This Single Woodwind Pack brings the oboe d’amore from Vienna’s acclaimed VI Special Woodwinds Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

Like the oboe and the English horn, the oboe d’amore (hautbois d’amour/oboe of love) is a double-reed woodwind instrument, covering the mezzo soprano register. The term “d’amore” dates from the Renaissance period and is based on the instrument’s warm, lyrical, and mellow sound character that is more comparable with the French horn than the oboe. The instrument is slightly larger (longer) than the oboe and has a distinctive, pear-shaped bell. Although it was commonly used in the Baroque era, the instrument was gradually displaced by the English horn and the oboe in later periods.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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, repetitions and more.

SYNCHRON-ized Heckelphone

This Single Woodwind Pack brings the heckelphone from Vienna’s acclaimed VI Special Woodwinds Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

The heckelphone was only developed in the 20th century and with its dark, expressive character it rounds out the oboes’ tenor register. Because of its similar sound it can replace the baritone oboe. Richard Strauss was among the great composers who liked to employ the instrument that sounds an octave lower than the oboe, e.g., in his scores for “Salome”, “Elektra” and “Eine Alpensymphonie”.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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 and more.

SYNCHRON-ized Clarinet (Eb)

This Single Woodwind Pack brings the clarinet in Eb from Vienna’s acclaimed VI Woodwinds II Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

Of the standard woodwinds, the clarinet was the last instrument to be integrated into the symphony orchestra. The clarinet in Eb is a sopranino clarinet and at 49 cm (19.3") it is a little shorter than the commonly used clarinet in Bb, and as a result has a higher pitch.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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.

SYNCHRON-ized Contrabass Clarinet

This Single Woodwind Pack brings the contrabass clarinet from Vienna’s acclaimed VI Special Woodwinds Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

The rare contrabass clarinet is almost twice as long as the bass clarinet, and so not only the deepest, but also the biggest instrument in the clarinet family with a very powerful and sonorous sound. It is a transposing instrument and notated in treble key, but sounding a major ninth lower. The contrabass clarinet is found more often in brass and military music than in the orchestra.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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 and more.

It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease-of-use of all articulations for a quick and creative work-flow.

The warm, full-sounding basset horn covers the alto/tenor registers in the clarinet family, and was one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s favored instruments.

The library features the full set of articulations that’s on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized 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, repetitions and more.
