VSL Studio Contrabass Clarinet
Clarinet Virtual Instrument
This Single Woodwind Pack brings the contrabass clarinet from our acclaimed VI Special Woodwinds Collection to Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been re-edited and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, increasing both the flexibility and ease of use of all articulations for a quick and creative workflow.
The rare contrabass clarinet is almost twice as long as the bass clarinet, and so not only the deepest, but also the biggest instrument in the clarinet family with a very powerful and sonorous sound. It is a transposing instrument and notated in treble key, but sounding a major ninth lower. The contrabass clarinet is found more often in brass and military music than in the orchestra.
The library features the full set of articulations that's on par with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds, offering various short and long notes, legato variants (including fast legatos that let you play trills), dynamic articulations such as crescendos and diminuendos, fp, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue and more.
The Synchron Player's integrated convolution reverb adds the outstanding ambience of the 540 m2 (5,813 sq.ft.) main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna to the dry samples in real-time. Expertly crafted mixer presets place the instrument on its perfect spot on stage, resulting in a production-ready sound "out of the box" that blends seamlessly with the instruments of SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds as well as with every other product in the Synchron Series.
