SYNCHRONIZED CONTRABASS CLARINET

Single Woodwind instrument for the Vienna Synchron Player

This library brings the double bass clarinet from the VI Special Woodwinds Collection to the large hall (Stage A) of the Synchron Stage Vienna. It has been revised and optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player with regard to flexibility, balance and user-friendliness in order to enable quick and creative work.

The rather rare double bass clarinet is almost twice as long as the bass clarinet and is not only - as the name suggests - the deepest, but also the largest instrument in the clarinet family and has a powerful, sonorous sound. It is a transposing instrument and is notated in the treble clef, but it sounds a major ninth lower. The double bass clarinet is found more frequently in brass and military music than in an orchestra.

The library offers a large selection of articulations that match the expressive possibilities of the instruments in the SYNCHRONIZED Woodwinds Collection. It contains various short and long tones, legato variants (including fast legatos with which trills can be played), dynamic playing styles such as crescendi and diminuendi, fp, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue and more.

With the convolution reverb integrated in the Vienna Synchron Player, the relatively dry recorded instrument is optimally placed in the 540 m² Stage A of the Synchron Stage Vienna. The tailor-made mixer presets provide an immediately usable surround sound "out-of-the-box" and also fit perfectly with the instruments of the SYNCHRON-ized Woodwinds Collection as well as with all other products of the Synchron Series.
