Originally, they were used for rituals and ceremonies, often to emphasize the master of ceremonies' importance. The tam-tam is similar to the gong, with a sound that is inharmonic, quite brash and broad. Soft hits can be breathy and ominous. The harder tam-tams are hit the higher the ratio of high frequencies; and the larger the instrument is, the slower it responds, blooming into full volume before gradually fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tam-tam of \u003cstrong\u003eSynchron Percussion II\u003c\/strong\u003e is the smallest of the series with a diameter of 70 cm (27 1\/2\"). Unlike the two tam-tams of Synchron Percussion I, it has a flat rim. It was recorded with up to 10 dynamic layers and 12 round robins for single strokes, with hard as well as with soft mallets. To create various effects, the tam-tam was hit and scratched with triangle beaters, beaten and swished with big brushes, made to sing with a super ball and rasp and squeal with sticks, as well as bowed to excite its overtones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e also provides a Preset \"Tam-tams All\" that unites all Patches of Synchron Cymbals \u0026amp; Gongs I and II, and thus facilitates switching between all three tam-tams. If Synchron Percussion I is not installed on your computer, we recommend using the Preset \"Tam-tam flat 70cm\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurma Gongs\u003c\/strong\u003e are characterized by a raised center boss. They sound in distinct pitches and are known in various south-east Asian countries such as Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia. They are often used as lead instruments in traditional music. Large, low gongs sound very powerful and imposing. This makes them well suited for accents - however, they need the appropriate space in the arrangement as well as time to develop. Smaller gongs can also be used for melodic passages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Burma gongs of \u003cstrong\u003eSynchron Percussion II\u003c\/strong\u003e are provided in an exceptionally broad tonal range of four octaves (C2-C6). They were sampled with up to 12 dynamic layers and four round robins for single strokes. There are single hits and rolls with hard and soft mallets, as well as numerous effect sounds, which comprise articulations with rods, brushes, rasping stick, hits and scratches with triangle beaters, and the singing sounds produced by being rubbed with a super ball. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChina Gongs, Peking Opera Gongs or Glissando Gongs have their origin in the traditional Chinese opera. There are gongs with ascending glissando and gongs with descending glissando. In Chinese opera, the ascending gongs announce a powerful person, while the descending gongs announce less influential people or accompany funny situations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe China gongs of \u003cstrong\u003eSynchron Percussion II\u003c\/strong\u003e were recorded with up to eight dynamic layers and eight round robins for single strokes. Various rolls are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12 Microphones. \u003c\/strong\u003eEvery instrument was recorded using 12 microphones. You may select from four microphone positions (Standard Library) or seven different microphone positions (Full Library) and mix them to your liking, directly in the Vienna Synchron Player. Use the included and perfectly fine-tuned presets as a starting point for your own sonic creations. The performances in Stage A were captured in stereo using a Decca tree, and additional microphone arrays were utilized for 5.1 surround and Auro 3D 9.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Positions of the Full Library:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose Mic - Mono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid Layer Mic - Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain\/Room Mic  - Decca Tree Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain\/Room Mic  - Decca Tree Mono (Center)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Surround - Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Stereo (3D) - Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Surround (3D) - Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vienna Symphonic Library","offers":[{"title":"Full Library","offer_id":48444402827481,"sku":"VSLSYY14F","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Upgrade to Full Library","offer_id":48444402893017,"sku":"VSLSYY14E","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Library","offer_id":48444402860249,"sku":"VSLSYY14S","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/5232\/2456\/files\/vienna_symphonic_library_synchron_cymbals_gongs_ii.jpg?v=1757014236","url":"https:\/\/guildwatergear.com\/products\/vienna-symphonic-library-synchron-cymbals-gongs-ii","provider":"Guildwater Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
