After seven years of constant recording in the Synchron Stage had yielded no solo strings, users were beginning to grow impatient. Bowing to public demand, VSL began work on a large sampling project which now bears fruit in the shape of Synchron Solo Violin and Synchron Solo Cello . Both run exclusively on the free Synchron Player and respectively require 25.1GB and 22.6GB of storage space. The new instruments feature violinist/concertmaster Marina Dimitrova and cellist Florian Eggner, principal players of the Synchron Stage Orchestra with extensive classical, film music and sample recording experience. In the interests of musical consistency, sessions (described as “heavy”, “exhausting” and “insanely intense”) were scheduled so that the players could execute the same articulations on the same day. This Olympian sampling marathon has generated an encyclopaedic articulation list. Short‑note styles include spiccato, staccato and détaché with a choice of bold and agile attacks, ricochet, saltando, a lighter ‘performance spiccato’ option and ‘saltando glissandos’, which combine a bouncing bow stroke with up and down slides. In addition to their normal, short, soft and no‑vibrato deliveries, the détachés also feature graceful up and down tone slides and despairing semitone falls. Long notes are played with normal, fast and soft attacks with no vibrato, poco (light) and molto (strong) vibrato; for note offs, you can choose between a normal release tail, the abovementioned comic falls and animated, ear‑catching octave slides. Also included are regular and snap pizzicatos, col legnos, tremolos, fast 16th‑note measured tremolos, trills, harmonics, crescendos, diminuendos and a furious, edgy sforzato artic that will easily cut through a cinematic drum battalion, all offering multiple performance variants.

Reliable and well-crafted. The Synchron Solo Violin 2 Upgrade to Full Library provides consistent performance across my projects. Good value for the investment with room for future expansion.
Ethan Evans –
Disappointed with the overall quality. The Synchron Solo Violin 2 Upgrade to Full Library falls short of what I expected at this price point. The samples feel thin and lack the depth needed for professional work.
Emma Sanchez –
Functional but not exceptional. The Synchron Solo Violin 2 Upgrade to Full Library serves its purpose adequately. While usable, there are competitors offering more refined alternatives in this category.
Riley Hill –
Its not bad. The Synchron Solo Violin 2 Upgrade to Full Library has some cool sounds and I like what I see. Just a little underwhelmed compared to what was advertised but still a good product overall.
Wyatt Robinson –
Its decent for the price but could be much better. The Synchron Solo Violin 2 Upgrade to Full Library has good bones but needs more refinement in the articulation and depth. Not bad but not exceptional either.
Benjamin Dixon –
Its a mixed bag. The Synchron Solo Violin 2 Upgrade to Full Library has some good moments but also areas that could use work. Decent for the price if you know what you are getting into.
