Pitched and Unpitched Percussion Instruments

Big Bang Orchestra: Quasar offers bass drum, snare drum, 6 concert toms, 10 taikos, piatti, suspended cymbal, 2 tam-tams, tambourine, triangle, 5 woodblocks, 3 slapsticks, thundersheet and wind machine. Articulations include a variety of single hits, rimshots, upbeats, rolls and many others, depending on the instruments and various beaters.

All instruments were recorded “in situ” on their perfect spot in the large hall of Synchron Stage Vienna with an expansive, phase-controlled multi-microphone set-up, including close and mid mics, Decca tree (left – center – right), as well as surround and high surround outriggers.

Getting the right sound out-of-the-box is a breeze, given the host of presets that not only match the sound of all the other libraries in the Big Bang Orchestra series, but also stand on their own in all kinds of arrangements and styles. By expertly combining the available microphone signals with the internal effects of the Synchron Player users have access to Presets such as Close, Classical, Wide, Comp+Reverb, Far Away Echoes, Power Timps and many more.
