SYNCHRON BELLS I

Synchron Stage tubular bells

Tubular bells were originally developed as a portable replacement for real church bells in the orchestra, whereby the tubes are arranged chromatically and cover a range of two octaves. The duration of the sound of the tubes can be controlled by a damper pedal. In addition to single hits in 8 dynamic levels with two different hammers each, we also recorded various glissandi with brooms, rods, sticks and a triangle mallet.

1 instrument - 12 microphones

The tubular bells were recorded with 12 microphones. You can choose between four different microphone positions (Standard Library) or seven different microphone positions (Full Library) and mix them in the Vienna Instruments or Vienna Instruments Pro player as well as in the mixing hosts Vienna Ensemble or Vienna Ensemble Pro.

The included presets of balanced microphone mixes serve as the perfect starting point for your own creations. The natural surround sound of Stage A was captured with a Decca tree in stereo, further microphone settings allow 5.1 and even Auro 3D playback in 9.1.

Flexible sound design

The natural volume behavior as well as the sound character of the instruments was retained during both recording and editing. You can shape the sound according to your taste in the Vienna Instruments and Vienna Instruments Pro players as well as in the mixing hosts Vienna Ensemble and Vienna Ensemble Pro. The supplied presets offer a finely coordinated source material for this.
