Viennese Excellence

All eyes on the soloist – you. When solo string instruments step into the spotlight, it’s always a display of pure technique and the utmost melodic expressiveness. When bow, fingers and the instrument work perfectly together, they’re able to create a vast array of sounds and tonal colors. Studio Solo Strings delivers all of this along with the world-renowned Viennese string virtuosity right to your studio. Two solo violins, one viola, two cellos and one double bass offer the whole range of soloistic strings that are versatile, easy to use, and adaptable to any acoustic environment you’d like to place them in. Whether you’re composing classical works, scoring films, or exploring new musical genres, these solo instruments bring melodies to life with unmatched clarity and emotion. You won’t be alone in being mesmerized by the sheer possibilities.

Reaching virtuoso level on strings and then performing solo pieces flawlessly is incredibly difficult, but with this collection and its deep sampled articulations as well as a clearly laid out and color coded structure in the Synchron Player it just got much more manageable. This solo instruments collection offers the perfect amalgamation of ease of use, playability and realism, which we achieved by expertly editing the sample recordings as well as by utilizing the Synchron Player’s unique features and algorithms.
