Studio Orchestral Percussion
The deal
$66 at Sweetwater (down from $89). Sale runs through June 1, 2026.
What it is
Studio Orchestral Percussion is a sample library from Vienna Symphonic Library covering 35+ instruments across orchestral, Latin, and cinematic effects percussion, all running in the Vienna Synchron Player. Unlike VSL's Synchron Orchestral Percussion recorded on their dedicated scoring stage, the Studio Collection was captured in a different acoustic environment with different instrument makes and players, adding a wider range of sonic character to your palette. All articulation volume levels have been overhauled for natural, balanced performances across the full dynamic range.
Who it's for
Film composers and orchestral producers who need a detailed, ready-to-layer percussion toolkit. It sits naturally alongside other VSL Studio Series instruments and covers everything from score staples to unusual cinematic effects.
Key features
- More than 35 instruments span three categories - orchestral (triangles, woodblocks, castanets, log drums, brake disks, railway rails), Latin (bongos, cowbells, guiros, shakers, caxixis, cuicas), and cinematic effects (wind machine, thundersheets, waterphone, sirens, flexatones, lion's roar)
- Each instrument includes multiple articulations: single strokes, static and dynamic rolls, upbeats, and performance variations for natural sequencing
- The library fits in 3.5 GB and runs entirely within the Vienna Synchron Player with no additional sampler required
- License activation uses iLok, with support for a physical dongle or iLok Cloud Session
