VSL Synchron Fazioli F212

Prepare to be mesmerized by the marvelous sound of the Synchron Fazioli F212, meticulously sampled at VSL’s Synchron Stage Vienna.

Unlike its big brother, the F212 was recorded in the smaller, dryer Stage B, which turned out to be the perfect match for Fazioli’s classic mid-sized piano.

In this intimate setting, with more direct signals and less room sound, every nuance of its rich sound shines – from the powerful bass to the warm mid-range to the crisp upper registers.

The Synchron Piano Player

In addition to creating your sound by mixing several microphone signals, the free Vienna Synchron Pianos software offers multiple options for shaping the sound of the piano and your playing experience.

Hosting a high-performance playback engine, the software provides a full-blown mixer with a broad range of effects such as EQ, compressor, saturator, algorithmic reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, rotary, and many more.

You may also adjust the volume of body resonances, sympathetic strings, and pedal noises right in the main Play window. In the Edit window you can even tweak EQ, volume, tuning, dynamic range, etc. for each individual key!
