Suspended cymbals, piatti and ancient cymbals

Synchron Cymbals & Gongs III is a subset of the Synchron Percussion III Collection and includes several suspended cymbals, piatti and ancient cymbals. What’s more, this collection also offers the powerful cymbal and metal ensembles of Big Bang Orchestra: Dorado, as well as the High Gongs Ensemble of BBO: Fornax (Pitched Percussion Ensembles).

The piatti, which are played in pairs, were recorded with normal and muted release, as well as loose, sizzling, dragged over each other and scratched. The suspended cymbals were played with sticks, mallets, rods, brushes, as well as bowed. The instruments were sampled with up to 12 dynamic levels and up to 6 round robins for single strokes.
