Jam-packed Instrument Library for Lush Chamber Strings
Vienna Symphonic Library's Synchron Elite Strings offers the same impeccable quality as the manufacturer's other plug-ins, with a specific focus on smaller ensemble playing. A total of 22 instruments — comprised of violins, violas, cellos, and basses — are at your disposal, recorded by Vienna Symphonic Library's in-house ensemble and mixed to perfection before it even hits your DAW. Seemingly endless options for articulations are guaranteed to give your pieces the gravitas and exact textures needed, with four different microphone positions for finding that perfect room sound. And just like the other Synchron libraries, everything can be mixed in stereo, 5.1 surround sound, and 9.1 Auro 3D — something Sweetwater producers and sound engineers thoroughly appreciate when crafting their soundscapes.

22 instruments for crafting your perfect ensemble
Comprising A-list musicians, chamber ensembles have an incredible ability to stay synced with perfect precision while navigating even the most challenging passages. Loaded with 22 instruments performed by Vienna Symphonic Library's very own Synchron Stage Orchestra, Synchron Elite Strings gives you direct access to the best aspects of a world-class ensemble. With six first-chair violins, five second-chair violins, four violas, four cellos, and three basses, you have everything needed to create lush compositions.
Awe-inspiring articulations for beautiful sonic textures
When it comes to stringed instruments, mastering the nuances of playing is critical to developing your sound. Luckily for you, Synchron Elite Strings makes it easy to compose articulate passages ripe with everything from short attacks with a quick decay to long, drawn-out notes. Just like Vienna Symphonic Library's other plug-in offerings, you get your standard settings for staccatos and spiccatos, with new variations for 1-second détachés for soft attacks that lead into vibrato and normal attacks that fade out. You also get long notes, legatos, and portamentos, all of which feature three vibrato variants (regular, molto, and sans) and four different starts (soft, regular, fast, and marcato). Another excellent addition is the Performance Détaché articulation, which offers even greater variety for your compositions.
A wealth of microphone positions
To give Synchron Elite Strings its shockingly lifelike sound, Vienna Symphonic Library captured the recording area with several unique microphones. The Standard Library features four of these mic options: a solo small condenser mic on the first-chair violin, a tube mic at the front of the ensemble, a room stereo mic, and a room mono mic. The result? Some of the most jaw-droppingly realistic string sounds available. If concert-quality strings are your end goal, then Synchron Elite Strings will take you to the finish line with dramatic, fantastic results.
