Vienna Symphonic Library Duality Strings Essentials | Cinema‑grade string library Essentials, made for scoring and arranging
Duality Strings Essentials is an efficiency‑focused selection of a string library, concentrating on commonly used articulations and natural expression. Paired with the intuitive mixing and stage‑space controls of the Synchron platform, it balances live performance and post‑production, making it suitable for film, advertising, games, and pop‑crossover string production.

Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
Synchron Player can be loaded in major DAWs as AU/VST3/AAX; use key switches and DAW articulation management tools to change expressions, and control dynamics, expression, and vibrato via MIDI CC or automation. Multitrack outputs can be routed to the mixer for effects processing. In AI‑assisted collaboration workflows, you can first generate harmony or rhythm sketches from text prompts, import them into the DAW and render with this library, then fine‑tune key switches, dynamics, and spatial settings to quickly produce a deliverable string track.
