Vienna Symphonic Library Big Bang Orchestra: Quasar is a virtual instrument with a library consisting of unpitched solo instruments in the categories of drums, cymbals and gongs, and percussion. Derived from the premium Synchron Series libraries Synchron: Percussion I and Synchron Percussion II, these assorted instruments can be used to add dramatic and powerful percussive accents to your tracks for film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.

Quasar includes a bass drum, snare drum, six concert toms, two tam-tams, and ten taikos. Cymbals include piatti and a suspended cymbal. Assorted percussion comes with a selection of woodblocks, slaptsticks, a tambourine, a triangle, a large thundersheet, and a windmachine. All instruments were recorded in situ— positioned on their ideal spot in the large hall at Synchron Stage Vienna—and played with the most commonly used articulations and beaters.

In addition to overhead microphones, Decca Tree, and surround mics, the instruments were isolated during the recording sessions with close microphones. This gives you more control and more creative options when mixing your sound using the included Synchron Player's internal mixer.

The software is compatible with Mac and Windows and operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. Quasar integrates perfectly with every module in the BBO series. It is also a great addition to the BBO percussion ensemble modules including Dorado, Fornax, Phoenix, and Eradinus.
