Synchron FX Strings I is Vienna's most daring strings library to date, recorded with the signature ambience of their newly refurbished scoring stage, Synchron Stage Vienna.

For the first time in Vienna Symphonic Library's long history of developing sample libraries, they have created a Collection that includes production-ready musical textures and loops using a 50-piece string orchestra. Create everything from ethereal, spheric soundscapes to pulsating melodic ornaments, suspense clusters and aggressive strikes!

Synchron FX Strings I is an infinite source of inspiration and a fantastic tool for designing entire worlds. Easily create effects and soundscapes by holding one or two keys, and add variety and changing colors by moving pre-configured controllers. Where other products quickly reach their intrinsic limits, your musical journey into previously unheard sonic worlds is just beginning with Synchron FX Strings I. The Vienna team captured unique sounds and playing techniques that have never been sampled before. Whereas Vienna's excellent musicians usually avoid experimentation during sampling sessions, in this case they were asked to cast aside convention and go far beyond their normal limits. The result is a treasure trove of tonal and atonal textures and elements that you may blend effortlessly for creating your very personal, unique sound. All varieties and combinations are easily accessed with the new Vienna Synchron Player.

Synchron FX Strings I is not limited to orchestral applications but can be used in any contemporary genre and style, such as Ambient, Alternative, EDM, World and many others.

Key Features:

  • Ready-to-use musical elements, from breathy, spherical pads to pulsating or even aggressive patterns and rhythms
  • Large 50-piece string ensemble, divided in 6 sections: 
  • 14 first violins, 10 second violins, 6 first violas, 6 second violas, 8 cellos, 6 double basses
  • Total flexibility for infinite creative possibilities ¢€“ almost "everything may be combined with anything"
  • Large selection of presets in ten categories (spherical textures, spherical chord textures, character textures, rises and hits, glissandos, clusters, tremolos, harmonic FX, pizzicato FX, Inspiration XFades)
  • All-new, easy-to-use Synchron Player with high-performance playback engine
  • Intuitive access with three pre-configured real-time controllers: Bow Style (CC 1), Velocity (CC 2), Density (CC 3).
  • Multiple microphone arrays provide for a wide variety of sonic possibilities, from stereo to 5.1 surround and Immersive Audio (Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D). Additionally, each musician was recorded separately with a dedicated microphone, and all signals were down-mixed to provide you with an optimized section sound.

All-new Synchron Player
Synchron FX Strings I comes with Vienna's dedicated Synchron Player that incorporates a brand new audio engine built from the ground up. It provides unprecedented streaming performance and a new level of sophisticated simplicity ¢€“ just step through the articulations, select their variations and explore how the pre-configured controllers (Density, Bow Style and Velocity Crossfade) affect the loaded preset.

The Synchron Player also includes an internal mixer with 5-band EQ, individual delay settings for runtime compensation, algorithmic reverb, phase switching and panorama controls. It runs under Windows and Mac OS X as a VST, AU and AAX Native plug-in in your DAW.

50 Microphones " 50 Musicians
The Vienna team spared no effort recording Synchron FX Strings I, using dedicated close microphones for each player of the string orchestra. For easy handling, you have quick access to six stereo down-mixes of these individual close mic signals (Violins 1 & 2, Violas 1 & 2, Cellos, Double Basses). Due to the comprehensive selection of further stereo and room mic arrays you can create your individual string ensemble sound in stereo, 5.1 surround, or even 9.1 immersive audio format, using the player's full-fledged mixer.

The Standard Library and Full Library of Synchron FX Strings I both include the same articulations. The only difference is the number of microphone positions.

The main surround microphone settings may also be used instead of the main stereo room mics in order to achieve a wider and more ambient mix. Blending surround signals with the other microphone signals creates a denser, more lush overall sound, even in stereo applications.

Ten Categories of Presets
The preset patches are organized in ten categories. By using pre-configured controllers you may adjust bow style, density and velocity in real-time, e.g., for building up tension by gradually blending from basic to more complex and agile variations of one of the same pattern.

  1. Spherical Textures (e.g., slight pulsing effects with aleatoric rhythms and random bow changes)
  2. Spherical Chord Textures " based on the so-called "Alpha"-chord (please see more details below)
  3. Character Textures " screaming and shouting high strings and grumbling low strings, aleatoric cluster FX with random pizzicatos, dirty and aggressive sounds with high bow pressure, ethereal "outer space" sounds performed behind the bridge, staggered, pulsating bow-bouncings on a string, melodic ornaments in the Ionian scale
  4. Glissandos " regular and fingered, available in "regular", "half-tremolo", and "ponticello" bow styles
  5. Rises & Hits " upward runs and glissandos with high dynamics and exaggerated crescendo, with speed variations
  6. Clusters " short and long note clusters, as well as glissando clusters with speed variations
  7. Harmonic FX " "freaky" sounds, e.g., with slightly detuned harmonics or upward and downward glissandos
  8. Pizzicato FX " e.g., random pizzicatos in various tempos or finger glissandos after the pizzicato
  9. Special Pads " "breathy" sounds, e.g., by strings tuned down a minor third
  10. Inspiration XFades " crossfading combinations from different preset categories

About the Alpha chord (spherical chord textures)
The spherical chord textures are based on the "Alpha chord" that is composed of two symmetric layered diminished seventh chords, with a whole tone gap in between. In Synchron FX Strings I this chord is featured in its basic form (on center key "C") and in two inversions. The notes of this chord are derived from an alternating octatonic (eight-note) whole step-half step scale.

This "diminished" scale was first found in 20th century music, particularly in the music of B©la Bart³k, Alexander Skrjabin and Olivier Messiaen, e.g., in his magnum opus, the "Turangal®la" symphony. Messiaen described this scale as the second mode of his seven "modes with limited transpositions".

The whole step-half step scale can only be transposed three times (the fourth transposition would already be a repetition). Apart from the above-mentioned composers, the scale is frequently used in Jazz music.

About the composer, orchestrator and conductor
Born and raised in Vienna, composer and conductor Johannes Vogel graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna as a percussionist with honors. He started his career as a musician with the Vienna Philharmonic, the orchestra of the Z¼rich opera house, and the Camerata Academica Salzburg. As a composer, his film and TV music projects include the MGM/Paramount production "Hercules" with Dwayne Johnson, Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak", "The Colony" with Emma Watson and Daniel Br¼hl as well as numerous episodes of the German TV series "Der Bergdoktor". Since 2016 Johannes Vogel has been the principal conductor at Synchron Stage Vienna, with most of the film music productions at Vienna's new scoring stage recorded under his baton " including scores by Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, Rupert Gregson-Williams, Lorne Balfe and many others.

Feels like paper and makes writing fun!
Model: iPad A16 11th/10th/Air 11
I was hesitant to start using my iPad for class because I HATED how my Apple Pencil sounded hitting the screen while I was writing. This product has completely changed my mind and now I use it almost daily! I love the feel of this screen and it has lasted all semester long. It was a little tricky getting the screen on just right, and I had to use both because the first time I had a bunch of air bubbles, but the second time was perfect! I think you would probably want to get a new screen every year to ensure it still has that paper-like feel, but I think that’s totally reasonable!

It gets the job done.
Model: iPad 9th/8th/7th, Model: iPad 9th/8th/7th
It isn't too difficult to install, but no matter how hard i tried, I still got some bubbles under the screen. It doesn't feel exactly like writing on paper, but it is much more comfortable than writing on the glossy screen. After i did some writing on the screen, the screen got sime marks that looked like scratches, but it seems to be some kind of dust that comes off the scree, i wiped it off and it disappeared. Now everything on the screen looks pixelated.

After Wasting Money on Kids Tablets… I got these. *Demo Video with 2 Devices*
Color: Gray, Size: 128 GB, Style: Tab A11+, Color: Gray, Size: 128 GB, Style: Tab A11+
I originally bought this tablet for my younger daughter, and after a full year of daily use, I ended up buying it again — and then a third time. Both of my kids (ages 7 and 14) now use the exact same tablet, just with different setups. And honestly? It’s been a much better choice than any “kids tablet” we’ve tried in the past. 🧠 Why I chose this over a kids tablet: I’ve purchased multiple kids-specific tablets before, and they were a waste of money. They were: slow to load limited to preset apps low storage restricted controls frustrating to use overall With this, I can: 👉 set my own parental controls 👉 allow only what I want 👉 still give my kids a fully functional device It’s a normal tablet — and that’s exactly why it works better. 👩‍👧‍👧 Real-life use (2 kids, same tablet) Both of my daughters use this daily, but in completely different ways: 7-year-old (1 year of use): YouTube (including shorts — no buffering issues) Kids games (Google Play) School work Taking photos 14-year-old (new user): Drawing (Ibis Paint X) Internet browsing Occasional games It handles BOTH without any issues. ⚡ Performance & usability Fast, smooth loading — no lag for everyday use Can run multiple apps/tabs easily No overheating, even with extended use Strong, stable WiFi connection Great battery life (lasts hours of use) Charges from 0–100% in about 2 hours It feels like using a large phone — everything is familiar and easy to navigate. 🖥️ Display & design Full 11” screen Clear, bright graphics Sleek, slim, lightweight design Extremely portable Great for videos, drawing, reading, and general use. ✍️ Input & compatibility Works well with fingertips, stylus, and S Pen Access to Google Play Store Syncs with Samsung account Can connect with other Samsung devices 📦 Storage & expandability 128GB internal storage Supports microSD (if needed) We’ve comfortably had: 25–30 apps/games installed before needing to clear space 📸 Camera Decent quality Perfectly fine for kids taking photos/videos 🔌 Small things to know Comes with USB-C cord, but no wall adapter You’ll need your own charging block Final Thoughts This is not marketed as a kids tablet — and that’s exactly why it works so well for kids. It’s: faster more flexible more reliable and something they won’t outgrow quickly After a full year of use and multiple purchases, I can confidently say: This has been one of the best tech purchases I’ve made for my kids. ❤️ My 14-year-old is just starting to explore digital art, and immediately began working on her very first piece using this tablet and a stylus. Watching her sit down and just… create without struggling with the tools was honestly the most impressive part for me. No lag, no weird pressure issues, no frustration — it felt natural to her right away. As a parent, that moment alone made this feel worth it. It turned something new and intimidating into something she was excited about instantly. She spent a total of 19 hours on her drawing. ⭐ I included a video showing how both of my kids use the same tablet differently, along with the different case setups we use. The first tablet is 1 year old, the second tablet is brand new.
