The Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron BA¶sendorfer Imperial Full Library is a virtual instrument that puts the warm bass, singing treble, and rich overtones of a BA¶sendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial at your fingertips. Representing the apex of the famed Austrian piano manufacturer s precious heritage, the Concert Grand 290 Imperial features nine additional sub-bass notes, which extend the instrument s key range downward to the low C for a total range of eight octaves. The extra bass strings create additional harmonic resonance with every key you strike, providing warmth, richness and depth across the entire instrument. The massive soundboard projects an unusually broad frequency range, evoking a sonorous, orchestral timbre.
The 295.3GB Synchron BA¶sendorfer Imperial Full Library was meticulously sampled on Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna, Austria. The instrument utilizes up to 237,655 samples recorded with 11 different microphone combinations (including surround) to capture the natural ambience of this world-renowned recording space.
Six preconfigured character presets are provided for different types of music ranging from concert to pop. Thanks to the included Synchron Pianos Software, you can tailor the piano s responses and timbre to your individual needs.
The software is compatible with Mac and Windows, and operates in standalone, AU, VST, and AAX formats.
Software requires a ViennaKey USB protection device or other USB eLicenser if one is not already on the system (available separately).
