Automated articulation switching based on playing speed and velocity, along with easy sound customization, lets you focus entirely on your music.
Adjust the balance between the large ensemble in Stage A and the smaller section in Stage B, fine-tune reverb, Humanization, timbre, note transitions, and note attack - all within Flow View.
Use the provided Precision View presets to access the full range of Synchron Player features in cases where detailed tweaking is required.
The Duality Principle
The two string ensembles were recorded simultaneously at Vienna Synchron Stage, with the larger ensemble in the Hollywood-proven Stage A and the smaller one in the drier Stage B.
Both ensembles performed together, with the conductor on the podium in Stage A also directing the ensemble in Stage B via video monitors, and that's where the magic happens.
With the musicians' ability to hear each other from different rooms, all musical aspects of their performances are perfectly in sync, such as volume, timbre, vibrato, note length, and phrasing.
This setup lets you seamlessly blend the rich, resonant sound of a full ensemble with the clear detail of a smaller group.
