ILIO Big Bang Orchestra: Dorado Percussion Ensembles

ILIO VSLSYT25 Overview

By combining and balancing the frequency spectrums of various instruments and experimenting with placement in the room, the team achieved powerful and fresh sounds that capture human liveliness and musicality not only when striking in fortissimo, but also at softer, more subtle volumes.

The software is compatible with Mac and Windows and operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats.

Note:

Software requires an iLok account.

Modify Your Percussion Sound

• The close-mic positions of each percussion group can be independently adjusted in the integrated mixer of the Synchron Player, giving you more freedom to modify your overall percussion sound.
• 6 levels of reverberation and additional processed presets are offered for each microphone setup: Close, Classic, Wide, Distant, Ambient, and Wet.
• Change the level, panning, delay, and EQ settings for each channel. You can also insert any of the built-in FX plug-ins to further optimize your sound.

Wide Variety of Articulations

• You can select from a variety of articulations and their variations including ringing or secco (damped) single hits, played tightly or loosely between the musicians of the ensemble, with hard or soft beaters, one to four upbeats, and rolls, as well as crescendo rolls in various lengths.
• The included collection of MIDI loops can be played with the Synchron Player`s internal MIDI player.

Mixer Presets

Factory mixer presets are based on the room microphones, leaving the section microphones disabled. Section microphones can be added to emphasize certain instrument groups.

• Room Mix Presets: Based on a room mix created from all available room microphones.
• Stereo Decca Tree Presets: The Decca Tree is the microphone tree that is the heart and soul of every orchestral recording. It consists of a main stereo channel and a mono center channel, which capture the details of the room from the conductor`s perspective.
• Surround-to-Stereo Presets: Offer the massive sound of all available room microphones, including the Decca Tree mics down-mixed to a stereo signal.
• Surround Presets: With your Synchron Player inserted as a surround plug-in in your DAW, these presets provide the starting point for your surround setup.
• Processed Presets: Use the integrated compressor to achieve an even more powerful sound.
