  • I've received a new 4TB SSD where to move all my VSL libraries. Ugh â€“ it's not enough! I'll have to reserve one of the old 2TB drives to them as well.

    Am I wrong, or the full Synchron Percussion + Power Drums collection takes 1.1 TB, or around that? This is a new idea of HUGE!

  • Hi, 

    1.1 TB sounds right. Yes, we like deep sampling!

    Best,

  • So what is new versus already extant in the Cymbals part of this?

    I see there is a Crashes ensemble, a big and small metals, which resemble the things in BBO I have.
    Are these the same? All that was new in the Orchestral part of this was the Latin percussion and some birdcalls and whistles. I see there is a Sabian piatti, a sizzle cymbal and two splashes I don't have and probably the finger cymbals are new.


  • Hello civilization 3!

    Most instruments in Synchron Percussion III are completely new. All solo instruments are new. The ensemble instruments come from the BBO collections Dorado, Eridanus and Fornax. On the instrument page in the instrument list these ensembles contain the word "Ensemble". So all instruments without this word are new.

    Here they are.
    5 Timpani (Adams, C2-C4, hit with a hard beater)
    Field Drum (Aural)
    Marching Snare (Yamaha)
    Piccolo Snare (Kolberg)
    Snare Drum (Aural Nut)
    Boobams
    Piatti (Sabian 20")
    Sizzle Cymbal (Zildjian 18")
    Splash Cymbals (Zildjian 8", 12")
    Ancient Cymbals
    Marimba
    Temple Blocks
    Cencerros
    Hand Bells
    Rin Bells
    Jingle Bells
    Flexatones
    Car Horns
    Warning and siren horns
    Whistles
    Bird calls
    Slide Flutes
    Jingle Ring
    Congas
    Bongos
    Timbales
    Cow bells
    Agogo bells
    Guiros
    Sandpaper blocks
    Claves
    Cabasas
    Wind chimes

  • thanks. I shoulda seen that right at the top, I guess I went straight to "content".

    I'm torn between this sizzle cymbal and the 70cm Tam from II.


  • >> I'm torn between this sizzle cymbal and the 70cm Tam from II.

    I would get both (or better all three). ;-)

    In the end, I’ve gone for everything, but having to choose I would think the cymbals in SP2 are more important for orchestral writing, due to the presence of the gongs.

  • That was my choice. There's a good demonstration of the 70cm Tam on Youtube, it's really something.
    And the Burma Gongs are pretty extensive in this.


  • wound up unable to resist Cymbals III as well 


  • ENJOY!!

  • Are Expression Maps available for Synchron Percussion? I checked "Notation Related" and was surprised when I didn't see any.

  • Hello Leigh!

    I'm sorry to say that there are no expression maps for Synchron Percussion.
