ILIO Vienna Symphonic Library Big Bang Orchestra: Tana - 1st Violins

ILIO VSLSYT37 Overview

Vienna Symphonic Library Big Bang Orchestra: Tana - 1st Violins is a sample-based virtual instrument designed to provide easy-to-use orchestral string elements for a wide variety of musical genres and purposes. The instrument features a meticulously recorded 14-piece string section and includes all the essential articulations. The homogeneous and well-balanced sound of this cohesive well-rehearsed violin ensemble was captured at Synchron Stage Vienna by a highly skilled engineering team able to take full advantage of the outstanding acoustics. The software is compatible with Mac and Windows computers, operates in AU, VST, VST2, and AAX formats, and integrates perfectly with every module in the BBO series.

Note:

Software requires an iLok account.

Multiple Articulations

All articulations were taken from Synchron Strings Pro, including short notes (bold, agile, fortissimo), long notes with light and strong vibrato (blendable) played espressivo, and legatos with light and strong vibrato, as well as with marcato attacks, sforzato, several swells, pizzicatos, and tremolos. The included measured tremolos, which are fast note repetitions at 120, 130, 140, and 160 BPM, can be synced to the host tempo. BBO: Tana also includes unique soft releases of long notes, where the musicians carefully play slightly longer note fade-outs that sound very musical without having to use MIDI controllers to shape the ending of a tone.

Mixer Presets

The included mixer presets deliver a perfect sound out of the box that integrate seamlessly with all the other modules of the Big Bang Orchestra series. Room Mixes feature an excellent blend of overhead Decca tree mics and surround mics mixed to a stereo signal that s light on CPU and RAM. Other Mixer Presets offer a combination of mic signals that you can adjust to your needs and liking. These include Decca Tree and Surround to Stereo Downmix presets, the latter feeding the surround mics to the stereo signal for a richer and wider sound. Also included are Surround presets for immersive audio setups such as Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D.
