Perform the entire orchestra or individual sections with your left hand while playing one of 12 solo or lead instruments with your right – perfect for those beautiful melodies soaring above the orchestra! Choose from violin ensemble, cello ensemble, flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, horn, harp, and celesta. Plus, as a brand-new bonus, you get solo violin, solo cello, and solo bassoon, giving you even more versatility. For adventurous hybrid scoring and effect-laden textures, Smart Spheres and Smart Hits provide creative options to expand your orchestra into electronic and experimental realms.

The Smart Way to Flow

To refine your arrangements, you can place each orchestra section and each solo instrument on separate DAW tracks, making the Synchron Smart Orchestra a highly efficient, resource-saving library that delivers impressive symphonic results in an instant. To make it even easier for you, the new included Flow View, a sleek interface that’s fun to play, puts every essential control at your fingertips – so you can dive straight into the music. Smart articulation switching adapts to your playing speed, while intuitive sound customization ensures your creativity remains front and center. Need more control? Switch to Precision View to unlock the full power of the Synchron Player, complete with deep editing features for fine-tuning every detail of your performance.

Scoring Stage Recordings

The performances of the Synchron Smart Orchestra were recorded in the Hollywood-approved ambience of the large hall of Vienna Synchron Stage where the finest musicians from the City of Music lend their talent and artistry to film and TV score recordings on a daily basis. It’s the icing on the cake for getting mix-and-record-ready results with a lush sound in an instant.

The performances of the ensembles and percussion were taken from these libraries:
