ILIO Big Bang Orchestra: Phoenix - Pitched Solo Percussion

ILIO VSLSYT33 Overview

Vienna Symphonic Library Big Bang Orchestra: Phoenix - Pitched Solo Percussion is a virtual instrument with a library consisting of pitched solo instruments in the categories of timpani, mallets, bells, and gongs. Derived from the premium Synchron Series libraries Synchron: Percussion I and Synchron Percussion II, these assorted instruments can be used to add distinctive pitched percussive accents to your tracks for film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.

Phoenix includes a timpani, glockenspiel, xylophone, and vibraphone. It also comes with tubular bells, plate bells, and Burma gongs. All instruments were recorded in situ positioned on their ideal spot in the large hall at Synchron Stage Vienna and played with the most commonly used articulations and beaters.

In addition to overhead microphones, Decca Tree, and surround mics, the instruments were isolated during the recording sessions with close microphones. This gives you more control and more creative options when mixing your sound using the included Synchron Player s internal mixer.

The software is compatible with Mac and Windows and operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. Phoenix integrates perfectly with every module in the BBO series. It is also a great addition to the BBO percussion ensemble modules including Dorado, Fornax, Quasar, and Eradinus.

Note:

Software requires an iLok account.
