The Vienna Orchestra with Improved Articulation!
Perhaps the most time-consuming part of creating virtual orchestras is the extreme amount of note-by-note editing that must be done in order to create instrument articulations that sound realistic. Vienna Symphonic Library's OPUS 2 is the answer to hours of intense note-by-note editing to create realisitc-sounding ensembles.
Vienna Symphonic Library OPUS 2 at a Glance: - 9.3GB of data on two DVD-ROMs.
- Complete articulation package for strings.
- Performance Legato articulations for bass clarinet and contrabassoon.
- Brass sordino and stopped playing techniques.
- Timpani and percussion articulations.
Strings with New Articulations Ilio OPUS 2 offers the complete articulation package of Legato Runs (major, harmonic minor, chromatic, and whole tone scales), quick string runs, muted brass, Vienna's legendary Flautando Strings, and the easy-to-use but highly effective Fast Repetitions. The VSL OPUS 2 strings package is rounded out with a basic set of solo string articulations featuring the most important playing techniques. VSL OPUS 2 also offers further instruments such as marimba, vibraphone, and waterphone. Furthermore, VSL OPUS 2 comprises basic articulations of instruments taken from other Horizon Series titles, such as Solo Strings, Epic Horns, French Oboe, or Woodwind Ensembles.
Woodwind Performance Since Vienna’s woodwinds’ Performance Legato articulations are especially popular, VSL OPUS 2 offers the complete Performance Legato articulations for bass clarinet and contrabassoon. As requested by many users, looped sustains for all woodwind instruments are provided. A basic set of the Horizon Series’ French Oboe as well as the flute and clarinet ensembles completes the VSL OPUS 2 woodwind group.
Brass Articulations The VSL OPUS 2 brass section is enhanced through the inclusion of sordino and stopped playing techniques. Solo trumpet and trumpet ensembles also feature Performance Legato articulations. As a bonus, a basic set of the Horizon Series’ powerful Epic Horns is included in VSL OPUS 2.
Percussion Articulations Apart from additional timpani articulations (tremolo and single note glissandos), the VSL OPUS 2 percussion family is stocked with marimba, vibraphone, cencerros, plate bells, and waterphone.
