Synchron Duality Strings Ostinato standard
The Most Flexible Ostinato Library Ever
Synchron Duality Strings Ostinato standard
Description
Repeating patterns that drive momentum, create tension, and push the music forward are a cornerstone of modern composition. They may repeat on paper, but they should never sound repetitive! Often sitting at the center of a piece, they need to be expressive and full of life. And of course, you want the freedom to create your own patterns without being confined by pre-recorded phrases. Synchron Duality Strings (ostinato) delivers exactly that: a new level of flexibility for crafting fluid, driving, and captivating string patterns, shaped entirely by your musical ideas.
Overview

- Staccato, détaché and legato articulations specifically created for ostinatos
- Two acoustically isolated string ensembles performing simultaneously at Vienna Synchron Stage

Your pattern, your tempo, your sound
The sixth instalment in the Duality Strings series was specifically designed for creating captivating string ostinatos. Both ensembles – the large section in Stage A and the more focused group in Stage B – performed extensive ostinato passages together, perfectly in sync. From these recordings, individual notes were meticulously extracted and are now reassembled in real-time by the Vienna Synchron Player, delivering authentic transitions, natural variation, and a realism that feels truly performed rather than programmed.
And because you’re working with single notes rather than fixed patterns or locked tempos, every rhythm, tempo, and contour is entirely your own. With short notes, long notes, and expressive legatos at your disposal, you can even go far beyond ostinatos to create everything from driving rhythmic engines to lyrical string passages.
