Production-ready

As any producer, sound engineer, studio hand, or even drummer and percussionist will tell you, capturing the true sound of percussive instruments in a production-ready way is not just an art in itself, it’s a downright challenge and test of patience. But we’ve made this task easier – now it’s as effortless as a few mouse clicks. Each instrument comes with customized impulse responses that make placing them in their ideal spot on the virtual Synchron Stage Vienna a breeze. Mixer Presets such as Close, Classic, Distant, with or without the aforementioned Synchron Player’s included MIR convolution technology, guarantee a perfect sound out of the box and match the acoustic placement of the Synchron Series instruments that were recorded on the large Stage A of our Hollywood-approved scoring stage.

Variety and Flexibility

The instruments of the Studio Percussion Collection are grouped in six separately available Percussion Packs (sub-collections) that correspond to the instruments of the Synchron Percussion Packs, with equal mappings to make it easy to exchange and try out instruments from both Series. Compared to Synchron Percussion, the instruments of the Studio Percussion Collection were not only recorded in a different acoustic environment, they’re also different makes of the same instruments with their own individual sound characteristics and were played by different musicians, therefore adding more flexibility and variety to your arsenal of percussion instruments.

Rhythmic Articulations

All instruments offer a broad spectrum of meticulously sampled articulations, from single hits with various beaters to static rolls, crescendo and diminuendo rolls, upbeats and repetitions, depending on the styles and variations each instrument has to offer. The Synchron Player’s “Key Info” feature makes it easy to find the articulation you’re looking for and provides a great overview of the available mappings. The entire sample database was optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player and its advanced algorithms and features. The volume levels of all articulations such as single hits, dynamic rolls and many more have been precisely matched, balancing the dynamic ranges of all instruments for seamless, natural performances when switching through various articulations. Dynamic rolls of timpani, bass drums and taikos can be played shorter than their original length due to the release sample algorithms of the Synchron Player.
