Vienna Symphonic Library breaks new ground with this marvelous virtual instrument, offering a solo violin that was captured in the exceptional acoustics of the large hall of Synchron Stage Vienna.
Blending musical excellence, emotional depth, and technical precision, this masterpiece delivers authentic and captivating performances that embody pure artistry.
The Synchron Solo Violin was performed by the concertmaster of the Synchron Stage Orchestra, Marina Dimitrova.
Hailing from Bulgaria, she studied in Sofia, London and Vienna and was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna.
She regularly performs with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and played at festivals such as Salzburg and Wien Modern as a soloist and chamber musician.
A string instrument is arguably the most expressive among classical orchestra instruments, especially when it takes center stage as a soloist.
The interplay between the bow, the fingers and the instrument opens up a vast and varied panoply of sound and performance possibilities.
That's why creating a solo strings virtual instrument is one of the ultimate challenges of sampling artistry, having to balance two key aspects: capturing the instrument's full expressive complexity without imposing limitations, while simultaneously providing a software instrument that is easy to use and sounds authentic from the get-go.
The crucial factor that fundamentally determines the quality of a library is, above all, the musicians themselves.
Sampling sessions are inherently demanding, requiring endurance and intense concentration.
Over the years, the Vienna team has refined the recording process to create the ideal conditions for their musicians.
Striking the right balance between providing guidance and allowing musicians to find their own flow has been key.
It is to VSL's significant advantage that the musicians have become highly specialized session players for scoring recordings, while also bringing extensive experience in sampling to the studio.
Marina Dimitrova demonstrated extraordinary dedication and focus in one of the most extensive sampling sessions in the large hall of Synchron Stage Vienna, evidenced by the enormous number of available articulations.
Short notes include a variety of spiccatos, staccatos, détachés, ricochet, and saltando. Long notes come with various vibrato styles, different attacks and releases as well as various slides.
Legato variants include normal, agile, slurred, portamento, and lyrical styles.
Playing techniques such as sforzato, several crescendos and diminuendos, tremolos, trills, harmonics, pizzicatos and col legno add a host of styles, tonal colors and dynamic nuances to the expressive possibilities of these software instruments.
Synchron Player Functionality Expanded
To better match the capabilities of these instruments, the functionality of the Synchron Player has been expanded.
A new Crossfade Editor allows for seamless blending and layering of two or more articulations, enabling users to fine-tune their preferred settings, such as defining the exact transition area between vibrato and non-vibrato or setting precise breakpoints between normal and rapid note sequences.
Another new feature, familiar to Vienna Instruments Pro users, is the Sequence Controller, which automates switching between two or more articulations.
The presets include several suggestions, but the possibilities are virtually limitless.
We highly recommend experimenting with your own creations, as this is not only enjoyable but also an inspiring tool that can significantly enhance your musical expression.
In order to capture the performances in the large Stage A, Vienna's recording engineers used multiple high-end microphone arrays, affording an abundance of options for creating your individual sound.
The Full Library features three different sets of close microphones with tube, ribbon and condenser mic options, two pairs of mid mics, another ribbon pair a bit further away, as well as the Decca tree with additional surround and high surround outriggers.
