The Vienna Symphonic Library has announced the release of the Vienna Instruments Collection Vienna Special Edition, the ideal, resource-saving companion for orchestral arrangements on the laptop, or for newcomers to the world of Vienna Instruments. It offers a useful cross-section of the Vienna Symphonic Library’s one million-plus samples.
The Standard Library includes 28 instruments and ensembles: 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 Bsendorfer Imperial grand piano.
The Extended Library contains 35 additional instruments that enhance the variety of instruments in this Collection: basset horn, contrabass trombone, saxophones, chamber strings, and epic horns. It also adds instruments like the Vienna Konzerthaus Organ, harpsichord, acoustic and electric guitar, and many more.
The Vienna Special Edition is a virtual instrument containing 80 gigabytes of samples in 24-bit format that works stand-alone or as a plug-in with AU (Mac OS X Universal Binary) and VST (Win XP, OS X) hosts. Registered users of Opus 1, the Orchestral Cube or Performance Sets of the First or Pro Edition enjoy massive upgrade discounts toward the Vienna Special Edition Full Library.
