As a user of the Special Edition Volume 2 you may quickly and conveniently add articulations you find very useful to improve the variability of your orchestrations. These samples are not included in the Special Edition Volume 2, but have been specifically selected for this collection. For example, while the Chamber Strings articulations in the Special Edition Volume 2 include staccato, dtach, sustained, sforzato, tremolo, pizzicato, legato and portamento, the PLUS collection supplements these with the addition of the following articulations: Short dtach, fortepiano, snap-pizzicato, half and whole tone trills, Repetition Performances (legato & spiccato), fast repetitions (150, 170, 190 bpm), and artificial harmonics (staccato & sustain). The instrument groups of the Special Edition Volume 2 PLUS are also available separately as individual Sections.

Please note that the Special Edition Volume 2 PLUS contains some Matrices that resort to Patches from the Special Edition Volume 2. The prior installation of the Special Edition Volume 2 is therefore required in order to load these Matrices.

Your purchase of the Special Edition Volume 2 PLUS entitles you to download the free Vienna Instruments player software that includes the Vienna Ensemble mixing and host software.
