One Stage, Four Continents. Set out on a rhythmic journey across the globe with Synchron World Percussion II. This second Collection gathers 20 characterful percussion instruments spanning four continents - from the Cuban batá and Brazilian berimbau to the Indian mridangam, the Iranian dammam, and the Irish bodhrán. Where the first Collection captured regional ensembles, this volume presents each instrument on its own, giving you a versatile toolkit of distinctive voices ready to drop into any arrangement.
- 20 authentic instruments, captured at Vienna Synchron Stage
- 4 continents: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe
- 180 authentic MIDI grooves
- Intuitive Flow View and detailed Precision View
- 3 close microphone options, plus surround and immersive signals
- Exceptional level of artistry and sonic excellence
Scoring Stage Atmosphere. All instruments were recorded on the large Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage and therefore blend seamlessly with every other library captured on this magnificent scoring stage. Shape your sound with the mixer presets “Close”, “Classic”, and “Ambient”, or reach for the drier “Ensemble” presets to place the instruments close and upfront, as if you were listening in the midst of the performers. Three close microphone options let you dial in exactly the character you're after, while additional surround and high surround positions lend more depth and dimension to your stereo mixes or open up fully immersive productions.
Masters of Rhythm. For Synchron World Percussion II, the team at Vienna Synchron Stage brought together a circle of accomplished percussionists, each lending authentic technique and feel to their instruments: Ibou Ba from Senegal, Hamidreza Ojaghi from the Kurdish region of Iran, Sasa Nikolic from Croatia, Emma Frauenholz and Marnix Veenenbos from Austria, and Felix Morgenstern from Germany.
Authentic Grooves as MIDI Loops. As with the first Collection, the Vienna team didn’t stop at single-hit samples. They invited each musician to perform the kinds of grooves their instruments are made for - living rhythms rooted in the musical traditions of their regions. The loops can be played and pre-auditioned in the Synchron Player's MIDI Loop Player, then dragged straight into your DAW, affording you real freedom over tempo, dynamics, length, and arrangement. And of course, every loop can be edited as you see fit.
