The Historic Winds Pack introduces the serpent from the renowned VI Historic Winds I Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It's been re - edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, enhancing flexibility and ease - of - use for all articulations, enabling a quick and creative workflow. The serpent, with its unique visual appearance, was developed in 16th - century France, covering the bass register of the zink family. Usually made of wood covered by leather, it was a staple in military bands and orchestras from the mid - 18th to mid - 19th century due to its ability to play loudly in large ensembles. However, it's extremely difficult to play. Composers from different periods, like Handel, Haydn, and Wagner, wrote parts for it. In the 20th century, it was rediscovered by film composers for creating 'alien' sounds. 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. Expert mixer presets position the instrument perfectly on stage, giving a production - ready sound that blends well with Studio Woodwinds and other Synchron Series products. Sample Amount: 3,647. Download File Size: 451.5 MB. Installed File Size: 1.2 GB. Articulations include Staccato, Portato short and long, Repetitions legato, portato, staccato, Sustained normal and marcato, Legato, and Sforzato.
Using this product is easy. First, install it on your device following the instructions that come with the download. Once installed, open the Vienna Synchron Player. You can then select the serpent instrument from the available options. Use the different articulations like staccato, legato, etc., to create various musical effects. When it comes to sound, the built - in convolution reverb adds a great hall ambience automatically, but you can adjust it in the player's settings to suit your needs. The mixer presets are there to give you a good starting point, but feel free to customize them for your specific project. Since this is a digital product, there's no physical maintenance. However, keep your software up - to - date to ensure smooth performance. And remember, the serpent is a complex instrument, so take your time to explore all its features and how they can fit into your music.
