Cinematic Effects Strings
Synchron FX Strings I is Vienna Symphonic Library's most audacious string library yet. Recorded with a 50-piece string orchestra in the flawless acoustics of VSL's world-class scoring stage, Synchron Stage Vienna, Synchron FX Strings I gives you production-ready musical textures and loops that are perfect for scoring everything from ethereal soundscapes to melodic ornaments, suspense clusters, aggressive hits, and pulsing rhythms. The violin, viola, cello, and double bass sections were recorded using an extensive multi-mic setup, giving you a comprehensive selection of discrete audio channels that lets you mix in stereo, 5.1 surround, Auro 3D 9.1 — or any other immersive audio format, such as Dolby Atmos — using the included cutting-edge Synchron Player.

At Sweetwater, we love having the flexibility to freely create ambiences and place instruments in space. The performances for Synchron FX Strings I were recorded in stereo using a Decca tree; additional microphone arrays were employed for 5.1 surround and Auro 3D 9.1 formats. In all, eight separate phase-coherent mic configurations were used to record each instrument; you can select any of them and mix to taste. Finely tuned presets preserve all the sonic detail and natural volume envelopes of the instruments and serve as excellent starting points for your orchestrations.
Included Synchron Player
Synchron FX Strings I 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.
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.
