Vienna Instruments in an Affordable Collection!

This Special Edition brings together the complete orchestra - and more - in an affordable Collection. It is the ideal, resource-saving companion for orchestral arrangements on the laptop, or for newcomers to the world of Vienna Instruments, offering a useful cross-section of Vienna Symphonic Library's over one million samples.

The Standard Library includes 28 instruments and ensembles, covering large post-romantic instrumentation. It contains solo and ensemble strings, solo instruments and ensembles of the brass section, woodwinds ranging from piccolo flute to contra bassoon, harp, drums and percussion as well as celesta and the Bosendorfer Imperial grand piano.

The Extended Library doesn't offer more articulations to the Standard Library instruments; rather, it contains 35 additional instruments which enhance the symphonic variety of this Collection (e.g., basset horn, contrabass trombone, saxophones, Vienna's famous Chamber Strings and Epic Horns). It also adds instruments like the Vienna Konzerthaus Organ, a harpsichord, acoustic and electric guitar, and many more. As a special bonus, staccatos and sustains performed by the large string ensembles of the Appassionata Strings have been included.

Apart from the basic articulations, all string and wind instruments include the Legato Performances characteristic of the Vienna Symphonic Library. Real note transitions up to a one octave range are played automatically by the algorithms of Vienna Instruments when the user plays legato notes.

The Special Edition is a comprehensive and extremely versatile Collection that can be used efficiently with reasonable hard disk and memory requirements, making VSL's famous realism easy to grasp and use. It's the quintessence of the Vienna Symphonic Library in a single, affordable software package!

VSL is stunning

by Eric Broviak from NE Ohio
November 30, 2011
Music Background: Recording Engineer, Sound Consultant
I originally got this to add some "lush" string sounds to the backgrounds of solo and small group recordings. But, I got so much more. When played correctly (and I'm no music major) VSL delivers a s... read more [+]tunningly realistic sound for string backing parts. BUT, the real surprise comes if you try a solo part, as I did once I'd used this for a while. To all but the most discerning listener, the cello solo would make you believe I could play the cello. I used the Roland guitar MIDI interface to drive the thing. The tonality, the truly believable sound even when put way out front in the mix is amazing. In the hands of a well trained arranger or composer, this can't be beat. It finds its way into almost everything I record. Now, if I can get a convincing sax solo, I'll just sit and smile. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
