Synchron FX Strings I is Vienna's most daring strings library to date, recorded with the signature ambience of their newly refurbished scoring stage, Synchron Stage Vienna.

For the first time in Vienna Symphonic Library's long history of developing sample libraries, they have created a Collection that includes production-ready musical textures and loops using a 50-piece string orchestra. Create everything from ethereal, spheric soundscapes to pulsating melodic ornaments, suspense clusters and aggressive strikes!

Synchron FX Strings I is an infinite source of inspiration and a fantastic tool for designing entire worlds. Easily create effects and soundscapes by holding one or two keys, and add variety and changing colors by moving pre-configured controllers. Where other products quickly reach their intrinsic limits, your musical journey into previously unheard sonic worlds is just beginning with Synchron FX Strings I. The Vienna team captured unique sounds and playing techniques that have never been sampled before. Whereas Vienna's excellent musicians usually avoid experimentation during sampling sessions, in this case they were asked to cast aside convention and go far beyond their normal limits. The result is a treasure trove of tonal and atonal textures and elements that you may blend effortlessly for creating your very personal, unique sound. All varieties and combinations are easily accessed with the new Vienna Synchron Player.

Synchron FX Strings I is not limited to orchestral applications but can be used in any contemporary genre and style, such as Ambient, Alternative, EDM, World and many others.

Key Features:

  • Ready-to-use musical elements, from breathy, spherical pads to pulsating or even aggressive patterns and rhythms
  • Large 50-piece string ensemble, divided in 6 sections: 
  • 14 first violins, 10 second violins, 6 first violas, 6 second violas, 8 cellos, 6 double basses
  • Total flexibility for infinite creative possibilities ¢€“ almost "everything may be combined with anything"
  • Large selection of presets in ten categories (spherical textures, spherical chord textures, character textures, rises and hits, glissandos, clusters, tremolos, harmonic FX, pizzicato FX, Inspiration XFades)
  • All-new, easy-to-use Synchron Player with high-performance playback engine
  • Intuitive access with three pre-configured real-time controllers: Bow Style (CC 1), Velocity (CC 2), Density (CC 3).
  • Multiple microphone arrays provide for a wide variety of sonic possibilities, from stereo to 5.1 surround and Immersive Audio (Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D). Additionally, each musician was recorded separately with a dedicated microphone, and all signals were down-mixed to provide you with an optimized section sound.

All-new Synchron Player
Synchron FX Strings I comes with Vienna's dedicated Synchron Player that incorporates a brand new audio engine built from the ground up. It provides unprecedented streaming performance and a new level of sophisticated simplicity ¢€“ just step through the articulations, select their variations and explore how the pre-configured controllers (Density, Bow Style and Velocity Crossfade) affect the loaded preset.

The Synchron Player also includes an internal mixer with 5-band EQ, individual delay settings for runtime compensation, algorithmic reverb, phase switching and panorama controls. It runs under Windows and Mac OS X as a VST, AU and AAX Native plug-in in your DAW.

50 Microphones " 50 Musicians
The Vienna team spared no effort recording Synchron FX Strings I, using dedicated close microphones for each player of the string orchestra. For easy handling, you have quick access to six stereo down-mixes of these individual close mic signals (Violins 1 & 2, Violas 1 & 2, Cellos, Double Basses). Due to the comprehensive selection of further stereo and room mic arrays you can create your individual string ensemble sound in stereo, 5.1 surround, or even 9.1 immersive audio format, using the player's full-fledged mixer.

The Standard Library and Full Library of Synchron FX Strings I both include the same articulations. The only difference is the number of microphone positions.

The main surround microphone settings may also be used instead of the main stereo room mics in order to achieve a wider and more ambient mix. Blending surround signals with the other microphone signals creates a denser, more lush overall sound, even in stereo applications.

Ten Categories of Presets
The preset patches are organized in ten categories. By using pre-configured controllers you may adjust bow style, density and velocity in real-time, e.g., for building up tension by gradually blending from basic to more complex and agile variations of one of the same pattern.

  1. Spherical Textures (e.g., slight pulsing effects with aleatoric rhythms and random bow changes)
  2. Spherical Chord Textures " based on the so-called "Alpha"-chord (please see more details below)
  3. Character Textures " screaming and shouting high strings and grumbling low strings, aleatoric cluster FX with random pizzicatos, dirty and aggressive sounds with high bow pressure, ethereal "outer space" sounds performed behind the bridge, staggered, pulsating bow-bouncings on a string, melodic ornaments in the Ionian scale
  4. Glissandos " regular and fingered, available in "regular", "half-tremolo", and "ponticello" bow styles
  5. Rises & Hits " upward runs and glissandos with high dynamics and exaggerated crescendo, with speed variations
  6. Clusters " short and long note clusters, as well as glissando clusters with speed variations
  7. Harmonic FX " "freaky" sounds, e.g., with slightly detuned harmonics or upward and downward glissandos
  8. Pizzicato FX " e.g., random pizzicatos in various tempos or finger glissandos after the pizzicato
  9. Special Pads " "breathy" sounds, e.g., by strings tuned down a minor third
  10. Inspiration XFades " crossfading combinations from different preset categories

About the Alpha chord (spherical chord textures)
The spherical chord textures are based on the "Alpha chord" that is composed of two symmetric layered diminished seventh chords, with a whole tone gap in between. In Synchron FX Strings I this chord is featured in its basic form (on center key "C") and in two inversions. The notes of this chord are derived from an alternating octatonic (eight-note) whole step-half step scale.

This "diminished" scale was first found in 20th century music, particularly in the music of B©la Bart³k, Alexander Skrjabin and Olivier Messiaen, e.g., in his magnum opus, the "Turangal®la" symphony. Messiaen described this scale as the second mode of his seven "modes with limited transpositions".

The whole step-half step scale can only be transposed three times (the fourth transposition would already be a repetition). Apart from the above-mentioned composers, the scale is frequently used in Jazz music.

About the composer, orchestrator and conductor
Born and raised in Vienna, composer and conductor Johannes Vogel graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna as a percussionist with honors. He started his career as a musician with the Vienna Philharmonic, the orchestra of the Z¼rich opera house, and the Camerata Academica Salzburg. As a composer, his film and TV music projects include the MGM/Paramount production "Hercules" with Dwayne Johnson, Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak", "The Colony" with Emma Watson and Daniel Br¼hl as well as numerous episodes of the German TV series "Der Bergdoktor". Since 2016 Johannes Vogel has been the principal conductor at Synchron Stage Vienna, with most of the film music productions at Vienna's new scoring stage recorded under his baton " including scores by Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, Rupert Gregson-Williams, Lorne Balfe and many others.

Small Wash Cloth - Potholder Size
I really want to rave about the product, but it is just too small. The wash cloth lather's really well (it will save on liquid soap). I love the exfoliating side, I feel I am getting clean. I am a female who loves to work outside in the garden, ride ATV's and do woodworking. I get really dirty and it is great for removing dirt! My husband loves the cloth too, but he is tall (6'2") and the cloth is really small for him. For Him, my solution was to sew two of them together (don't judge my sewing skills). He can now use it as a wash cloth and back scratcher/cleaner (loops sewn at opposing ends). Pros: Cleans well, lots of lather with little soap, has a hanging hoop. Cons: Extremely Small (that is a regular size white Bed and Bath wash cloth for comparison). If using the terry cloth side, hard to hold because synthetic scrubby side is slick, the terry side also tends to "ball up" (I don't think this can be fixed because of the nature of the synthetic side). Please make this product larger, I would definitely buy again. Thank You!

Made in America nano-hydroxyapatite Toothpaste that's Well Worth Buying.
I've been using the Japanese brand Apagard Premio toothpaste for a couple of years now and now I've tried this Boka toothpaste while looking for alternatives that wold be less costly. Boka Toothpaste is very mild and makes brushing your teeth better. It doesn't have that harsh mint flavor which with most toothpastes feels like it's burning your mouth. It comes in multiple flavors and when you're done brushing your teeth, there is no need to rinse your mouth as it is a safe toothpaste to use. After using it for a few days, I feel that I will keep using the Boka brand from now on. I just wish that most stores would carry this toothpaste instead pf selling all those major brands which are full of fluoride. Did a bit of research and found that Boka Toothpaste has the same percentage of nano-hydroxyapatite as Apagard premio which is 10%. So that means that Boka Toothpaste is just as good if not better. No Fluoride No Harsh burning Mint Flavor Safe to shallow Multiple flavors 10% nano-hydroxyapatite Keeps your teeth Strong And one thing I've noticed is nano-hydroxyapatite makes your teeth less sensitive by rebuilding your tooth enamel I ordered four flavors, Watermelon Mint, Strawberry Mango, Orange Cream and Coco Ginger. So far, I've tried the Coco Ginger and I was surprised at how mild it was and it didn't have the sharp taste that ginger usually has. It is good and I enjoy it. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors. The Orange Cream I'm sure my wife will like if I can get her to try it. But she can be very stubborn at times. I see there are some other flavors which I intend to try such as the Cinnamint, Cucumber Dill, Lemon Lavender and Strawberry Basil. Not sure if I should try the Ela Mint as I don't know how strong or mild the mint will be. I'm sure that if places such as Walmart brick & mortar stores sold this toothpaste, that it would sell really well.
