Vienna Symphonic Library have released Synchron Solo Viola, a new solo string virtual instrument captured at the company’s flagship scoring space, Synchron Stage Vienna. This marks the third entry in the Synchron Solo Strings series, following previous releases for violin and cello which we reviewed in SOS Nov 2024 - read it here.
Performed by violist Anna Firsanova, the library was recorded on Stage A of the Synchron Stage Vienna using multiple microphone positions and setups, aiming to deliver a natural, highly expressive sound suited to film scoring, classical composition and contemporary orchestration.
Synchron Solo Viola includes a broad range of articulations, from short notes like spiccato and staccato to expressive legato, portamento, harmonics, tremolos and col legno. Long notes offer various vibrato types, dynamic swells, and performance nuances. Users can select between multiple stage positions (solo, 1st chair, center) and load pre-mixed presets for immediate results.
Two editions are available; the Standard Library includes a streamlined set of mic positions, whilst the Full Library adds additional microphone configurations for greater spatial control and mix depth.
Users who purchase or have already registered all three Synchron Solo Strings titles (Violin, Viola, Cello) will receive the upcoming Synchron Solo Violin 2 at no additional cost upon its release in early July.
