Vienna Symphonic Library

collapse expand iconDescription

The Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestral Strings II full software download (standard and extended libraries) offers a vast collection of rich, nuanced string samples. The leading voice of the cello section is Argentinian Rubn Dubrovsky, founder of the Vienna Bach Consort. Martin Deuring, an internationally active solo bassist and founding member of the chamber music ensemble "Ensemble Plus" leads the double bass ensemble.

The Orchestral Strings II library delivers an extremely wide range of articulations. The special qualities of these instruments are the result of a multitude of performances. With larger ensembles, the random effect of articulations like performance trills or fast legatos is especially pronounced, lending those performance patches remarkable authenticity in conjunction with the Vienna Instruments performance algorithms. The larger the ensemble, the more intense the random effect—that is, the natural "inexactitude" among the musicians when changing from one tone to the next. This effect gets extra attention with the "repetition performance pizzicatos," an innovation only available with the large string ensembles and recorded in two different tempos.
