There’s no better way to achieve the perfectly precise string ensemble blend for your project in a new, expressive manner that expands your available sound spectrum with Synchron Duality Strings Sordino from Vienna Symphonic Library. This VI gains producers, professional scorers, and home-studio composers access to expertly sampled and sordino-equipped orchestral strings with an enormous variety of deliverable variations.

Use each ensemble together or separately for your specific applications, and work with an incredible selection of dark and light microphone setups to achieve your ideal effect. Sweetwater studiophiles have scarcely seen an orchestral VI sampled with as much care, detail, and sonic deviation as Synchron Duality Strings Sordino!

Incredible dual-stage sampling
Synchron Duality Strings Sodino presents you with incredibly versatile VI orchestral palates, and the proof is in the name! Now, with two separate con sordino ensembles at your disposal, there are twice as many opportunities for your musical creativity to reach new heights. Vienna Symphonic Library simultaneously recorded two individual string ensembles of Vienna’s most esteemed string players for Synchron Duality Strings Sordino: a large ensemble on Stage A in the main hall and a small ensemble on Stage B. The dichotomous results of muted playing laid the foundation for unprecedented expression and sonority in VI orchestration.
Stage A’s result presented a larger, more grandiose symphonic effect, while the smaller and dryer Stage B is accompanied by a more transparent and intimate sound courtesy of dual microphone sets used for recording. Both ensembles, however, were captured in perfectly synchronized volume, timbre, note length, and so forth, allowing for a mesmerizingly characterful stereo response. Even with mutes applied, the opposing results are impressively distinguishable! With Synchron Duality Strings Sordino, you can balance the two ensembles to your liking by way of completely organic mixing presets or work singularly with the ensemble that best suits the needs of your project.
