Vienna Symphonic Library Percussion - Extended Library

A Massive Percussion Library

Note: This extended library requires the purchase of the Vienna Instruments Percussion Standard Library. The Extended Library provides a license code for access to additional samples.

Digital orchestrators rejoice: the Vienna Symphonic Library has a major set of upgrades on its hands! The Vienna Instruments series expands on the previous libraries and offers embedded intelligent Performance Algorithms in an easy-to-use VST/AU plug-in to orchestrate an inconceivably vast array of samples. For the first time, hundreds of articulations can be combined in one Preset and on a single MIDI track. Vienna's proprietary Performance Detection analyzes intervals, repeated notes, patterns, and even speed in real time and automatically summons the appropriate articulation or nuance.

Percussion Extended Library
Apart from the multitude of percussion instruments already contained in the Pro Edition and Horizon Series Libraries, Vienna Instruments also offer new instruments, making the Percussion Collection a truly magnificent profusion of percussion! Many instruments are now available in a second version: Timpani 2 (with up to eight velocities), snare drum 2 (up to 12 velocities, with and without snare), bass drum 2, field drum 2, tambourine 2, triangle 2, suspended cymbals 2, and a-due cymbals 2. Moreover, there are completely new instruments, such as concert toms, roto toms and Taiko drums.
