Just got those big four, A great bargain.
This team of four brass set is a real killer, amazing and a so realistic sound.
When playing the Jupiter Horns, one can almost hear the realism of the first note attack, almost never heard that precision in any other brand brass library.
I love this BBO collection one can afford purchasing regularly to build up a consistent complementary Library to the big Synchron one.
Thumbs up again VSL !
Hello,
Are Sibelius soundset and possibly Dorico expression maps are expected for these 4 brass products?
Thanks!
Gil.
+1 for Dorico
My birthday is on the 28th of June, those libraries are on my present list 😊
Hello Andi
Dorico 3,5 contains major updates of the Expression Maps.
It will be a pity not to profit of them
Thanks in advance

Hi GP1,
Where to start? 😊
Our Big Bang Orchestra, like all SYNCHRON SERIES products, was recorded with multiple mics at our Synchron Stage Vienna. Our goal is to capture the rawness and full range of a full-on orchestra, now even expanding with sections (choirs and brass are available now).
Via those multiple mics, you can sculpt your sound in many ways, like being in the control room of an up-to-date scoring stage. We're pouring in all our experience from our ongoing score-recordings, capturing the sound that is used in modern scoring productions.
Our Vienna Instruments product line, incliuding the Special Editions, were recorded in a dry ambience (the Silent Stage) and are available as stereo files. In the case of our SYNCHRON-ized product line, those samples (originally recorded for the VI Player) are now available in the Synchron Player, re-edited and perfectly placed @Synchron Stage Vienna, with the help of impulse responses.
Hope that helps!
Best,
Paul
A problem I see with Dorico maps for the BBO series is that Dorico wouldn't have the matching instruments. Dorico is reasoning in terms of solo and section instruments, but has no mixed ensembles.
The only trick I would thing of is to use a generic Synth/Keyboard instrument, then manually associate one of the BBO libraries to it.
I don't know if this can be saved in a playback template, and if selecting a playback template would select the right expression map, or break the manually created routing.

Again on Dorico. Not only an instrument definition would be missing, but also the supporting playing techniques for some of the most 'adventurous' techniques in the BBO libraries. Take for example Black Eye, and the Echoes technique.
- How to notate it? (Probably, just a long note with a textual indication above).
- How to notate techniques with a more traditional background (like falls, runs, graced, delayed)?
- In which category to include these indications, without a supporting instrument definition? Keyboard?
