Discover the VSL Synchron Duality Strings with Colors! Two acoustically isolated string ensembles perform simultaneously at the Synchron Stage Vienna. The large ensemble is recorded on the iconic Stage A, while the smaller one is captured in the drier Stage B. You can use them together or separately. With combined mic options, mixer presets, and both dark and bright mic setups, you can seamlessly blend the ensembles. Each section of the string ensemble can create a wide range of colors and timbres for evocative musical landscapes. This third installment offers main articulations in soft, eerie, and glassy tonal colors. Flautando, played close to the fingerboard in pianississimo, has a soft and ethereal tone. Sul ponticello, played near the bridge, produces a sharp sound with many overtones across the dynamic spectrum. The performances are compatible with other playing techniques. You can experiment with different timbres between the large and small ensembles. As a bonus, the collection includes beautiful Tutti Pianissimo Colors recorded in Stage A. With the new Colors Controller, you can create unique string textures. The tutti patches come in two orchestration variants. If you have other Synchron Duality Strings collections, the 'Merged' Presets make it easy to access all articulations. The standard library and full library have different sample amounts, download sizes, and installed sizes, with multiple microphone positions available for each stage.
Using the VSL Synchron Duality Strings with Colors is a breeze. First, decide whether you want to use the large ensemble from Stage A or the smaller one from Stage B, or both together. You can easily switch between them using the mixer presets. When choosing the mic options, play around with the dark and bright setups to get the tone you like. For different articulations, if you want a soft and ethereal sound, use the flautando technique. If you prefer a sharper sound with lots of overtones, go for sul ponticello. When working with multiple instances of the Vienna Synchron Player, try using different colors between the two ensembles for unique timbres. You can also experiment with combinations like using sordinos in Stage A and flautando in Stage B. For the bonus Tutti Pianissimo Colors, use the Colors Controller to smoothly transition between playing techniques. The tutti patches come in two variants, so pick the one that suits your orchestration needs. If you have other Synchron Duality Strings collections, use the 'Merged' Presets to quickly access all articulations. As for maintenance, make sure your storage has enough space for the installed file size. Keep your software updated to ensure compatibility and the best performance.
