Today, the Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) has given composers a massive reason to celebrate with a wave of free updates for some of their most popular Synchron Series libraries—plus a woodwinds sale that’s hard to ignore.
Whether you’re looking for more emotive woodwind lines or a more intuitive way to play your strings, here is everything you need to know about the latest VSL news.
Synchron Woodwinds: New Legato Articulations
If you already own Synchron Woodwinds, your toolkit just got a lot more expressive. VSL has added newly recorded lyrical and virtuosic legato articulations for Flute 2, Clarinet 2, and Bassoon 2.
Lyrical Legato: Perfect for slow-to-medium tempos, these patches offer a slightly more pronounced, natural transition between notes that really captures the "soul" of the instrument.
Virtuosic Legato: Designed specifically for fast, agile phrases where precision and speed are paramount.
The best part? These bonus patches are free for existing users and will be included in all new purchases of the library.
The "Flow View" Comes to Strings
For many composers, the technical side of MIDI programming can sometimes get in the way of the creative spark. To combat this, VSL has introduced the Flow View to Synchron Strings Pro and Synchron Duality Strings (colors).
Flow View is a streamlined, visually refined interface that strips away the complexity and focuses on the essentials: tone and performance. Behind the scenes, intelligent algorithms manage articulations and musical expression automatically. It’s designed to let you play the instrument rather than program it, making for a much more immediate and musical experience.
Save Up to 40% in the Woodwinds Promotion
To celebrate these updates, VSL has launched a massive Woodwinds Promotion. If you’ve been looking to flesh out your orchestral palette, now is the time. You can currently save up to 40% on a wide range of woodwind collections.
From the detailed solo instruments to the massive ensemble patches, these libraries are world-renowned for their clarity and the incredible acoustics of the Synchron Stage Vienna.
How to get the updates
If you are an existing user of Synchron Woodwinds, Strings Pro, or Duality Strings (colors), these updates are available now and completely free of charge. Just fire up your Vienna Assistant to download the latest versions.
