Large, Muted String Library from VSL
The Synchron-ized Dimension Strings II library from Vienna Symphonic Library features five string sections that were recorded con sordino, with mutes that darkened the sound of each instrument by reducing the amount of energy transmission from the strings to the instrument bodies. Our Sweetwater composers think that the softened timbres of these muted strings make Synchron-ized Dimension Strings II perfect for anyone looking for emotional, intimate string arrangements. Thanks to Synchron Stage impulse responses (IR), you’ll have access to placement and ambience for each individual musician as well as real-time humanized presets, combining for incredibly compelling performances. VSL Synchron-ized Dimension Strings II also sounds superb right away, especially when blended with other Synchron and Synchron-ized libraries. Finally, Dimension Strings II can be used with Komplete Kontrol Keyboards and Maschine thanks to support for Native Instruments’ NKS format.

Included Synchron Player
Synchron SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings II includes VSL's dedicated Synchron Player. Driven by a powerful new audio engine, the Synchron Player delivers flawless streaming performance and a new level of advanced simplicity. Just step through the articulations, select a variation, and audition how the pre-configured controllers (Density, Bow Style, and Velocity Crossfade) affect the loaded preset. The Synchron Player also incorporates an internal mixer with 5-band equalization, individual delay settings for runtime compensation, algorithmic reverb, polarity switching, and panorama controls, as well as a specially designed convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro that features the world-class ambience of Synchron Stage Vienna's 5,813-square-foot main hall.
About Synchron Stage Vienna
Synchron Stage Vienna, located on Vienna's historic Wiener Rosenhuegel, can accommodate a 130 piece orchestra and has proven its mettle over the decades not only for film score recording, but also for sampling sessions. With its massive concrete foundation, room-in-room construction, sound insulation, and specially designed HVAC system, the studio boasts an ultra-low noise floor of 16dBA, even with the air conditioning running. Stage A sports a reverb time of 1.8 seconds — and unlike many other scoring stages, there is no low-frequency masking effect. Instruments sound warm and punchy, with superior depth and panoramic localization.
First-call musicians, first-class samples
At Sweetwater, we hold the Vienna Symphonic Library in high regard; that's because we're picky about our orchestral samples. It all starts with the musicians. Since VSL's inception, first-call musicians have been providing the sound and character of these instruments as soloists and ensemble leaders. This approach is largely responsible for the impressive sonic authority and authenticity we have come to expect from VSL virtual instruments.
