Buyer's Guide

Instruments

Synchron Series

Our Synchron Series products are based on the sound of the famous Vienna Synchron Stage - home of the Vienna Symphonic Library since 2015!
  • Synchron Series products have been recorded with a multi-microphones setup right at Vienna Synchron Stage and can cater all possible audio formats, from stereo over surround to immersive surround sound!

  • Synchron Pianos share the same idea: Recording our incredible piano selection in the best location possible, with multiple microphones. The perfect representation of the acoustics at Vienna Synchron Stage make our Synchron Pianos the go-to option for pianists worldwide.

Studio Series

  • Studio Series products are based on our legacy Vienna Instruments collections. All samples have been recorded rather dry and were then carefully re-edited and optimized to work in our convenient Synchron Player Software - with a great sound out of the box!

  • Studio Series Synchron Pianos were recorded with multiple mics in Stage B of Vienna Synchron Stage.

Starter Editions

A great way to start your journey into the world of Vienna!
