Vienna Symphonic Library SYNCHRON-ized Solo Strings Sordino is a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the nuanced sound of a solo first violin, second violin, viola, cello, and bass. Based on the VI Solo Strings II collection, the library was reedited and optimized for the included Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease of use of all articulations for a quick and creative workflow and soulful string performances played with mutes—ideal for film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.
The library features a full set of articulations that offers various legato variants, dynamic articulations such as crescendos and diminuendos, repetitions, phrases, and more—with seamless note transitions when moving from one articulation to the next.
The muted strings were recorded in the tightly controlled ambience of Vienna s purpose-built Silent Stage and virtually placed on the large Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna using the Synchron Player s integrated convolution reverb technology. Mixer presets place the instrument in its perfect spot onstage, resulting in a production-ready sound out of the box. If you have installed SYNCHRON-ized Solo Strings, the Merged Presets combine senza sordino and con sordino articulations, making it easy to switch and keep an overview of all available articulations.
This software requires an iLok account.
