Bring the charm of the ophicleide, a conical - bore brass instrument similar to the tuba, from our acclaimed VI Historic Winds I Collection to the magnificent Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. This pack has been re - edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, offering enhanced flexibility and ease of use for all articulations, enabling a quick and creative workflow. The ophicleide, invented in 1817 by French instrument maker Jean Hilaire Asté, replaced the serpent in the Romantic orchestra. Its name comes from Greek, meaning 'a serpent with keys'. With a cupped mouthpiece like modern trombone and euphonium ones, it's famous in Berlioz's 'Symphonie Fantastique' and was used by Wagner and Verdi. Even Brazilian choro bands used it until the 20th century. There are claims it's an ancestor of the saxophone. The Synchron Player's integrated convolution reverb adds the amazing ambience of the 540 m2 main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna to dry samples in real - time. Expertly crafted mixer presets place the instrument perfectly on stage, giving a production - ready sound that blends well with Studio Woodwinds and other Synchron Series products.
