When questioned on the change of direction, VSL say that by integrating performance control software and sample management, their new player can operate 'with more sophistication and intelligence than any sampler currently on the market'. I suspect another factor is that virtual instruments are harder to pirate than an unprotected sample library, but VSL prefer to accentuate the positive: according to them, the Vienna Instruments have a 'zero learning curve' and can even read your mind! We'll soon see about that...

The patches in the VIs can't be changed (although they do have programmable performance settings), so it's impossible to create keyboard splits or alter playing ranges. This posed an immediate problem: for example, I found the attack of the 'Strings sus vib' patch (a four-way split of double basses, cellos, violas and violins) too slow, and although its four components each have their own fast attack option, there was no way to map them into a playable combination, which seems like a backward step to me. Another limitation is that the pitch bend is restricted to two semitones, so you can't create extreme bend effects. Not an issue for those who stick to traditional orchestral sonorities, but I don't think pop/rock producers, sound designers and keyboardists who habitually set their instruments' pitch bend to more than a tone will be be too pleased.
In a nutshell, the VIs take VSL's trademark crisp sound to a new level. However, to my mind (and as strange as it may sound), with these instruments the beautiful sounds are almost secondary to the interface itself. Rarely have I encountered such a complex, powerful tool that's so instantly accessible, transparent and quick to use. Where previously you would forever be loading up yet another articulation (or would simply fake it if you were pressed for time), everything is now available at the prod of a controller. For once, an instrument interface feels like something that wasn't designed by a committee, but by a group of like-minded musicians and composers who understand what we want. Here, they've given us exactly that, with few compromises in the design or functionality.
This latest commission was the first time I let the VIs loose. Amusingly, the completed cue also featured VSL's Pro Edition (for parts as yet unavailable as VIs, like brass instruments) and East West/Quantum Leap's Symphonic Orchestra Platinum. In one fell swoop, VSL have managed to make their own Pro Edition feel clunky and unmanageable, and Kontakt Player-based libraries just a little, well... tame. I cannot remember when I was almost begging for new software or a library, but after using VSL VIs, I resent having to go back to the Pro Edition for my remaining palette. The rest of the collection simply cannot come soon enough. Hilgrove Kenrick
UK composer Andrew Blaney in his home studio. "My setup is a dual 2.5GHz Mac G5, two Mac G4s and two Pentium 4 PCs. Each computer runs Native Instruments Kontakt and the PCs also run Gigastudio. I like to have all instruments running in real time, which explains the need for five machines. I have the VSL Pro Edition complete package in Gigastudio format, plus VSL's Horizon Series orchestral titles.
"I copied and pasted zones from VSL Gigastudio patches into one big Kontakt patch per instrument/ensemble. I created large patches with up to 29 keyswitch groups for strings, woodwinds and brass (broken down into ensemble and solo instruments) so I could change articulations on the fly as I was recording. So during a take I was able to try out different combinations within a phrase."
All instruments and ensembles in this 59GB collection have been fitted with the new 'performance trills' style. These looped deliveries are very versatile: using the Speed control to switch between performance legatos and the faster-speaking performance trills created a fluid-sounding solo flute patch which was great fun to play. The same approach also worked well for the bassoon and clarinet, though as I remarked when reviewing VSL's First Edition, some of the loud clarinet samples sound clipped to me.
Vienna Symphonic Library, better known to all of us as VSL, was one of the first companies to grab the nettle of orchestral sample libraries, and do so in such a way that it set itself apart from the field with its large and expansive collection of orchestral instruments. Fast forward several years and VSL is no longer the only kid on the block, but it is still most definitely stoking the fire.
The Synchron Player itself provides a large bank of assignable faders, designed to control all aspects of expression and timbre, alongside elements such as humanisation. Having a hardware bank of MIDI faders will be helpful here, but there is considerable key-switching available as well, with some instruments providing an option for key-switching elements such as vibrato, on and off.
Vienna Symphonic Library - the most powerful and full of the currently existing on the market of orchestral instruments libraries. - All files stored in GigaStudio 3 version with the optimization of a pool of samples that will speed up their load. Each instrument is checked for correctness - Imposed on all release patches with articulation, including those that use the specific features of GigaStudio 3 - Files related to each tool, packed into a single archive with the division on the tools Orchestral Cube and Perfomance Set (including to and from Horizon Series). This will download only the missing tools. Requirement: GigaStudio 3 HUGE TORRENT, SEED ONCE YOU FINISH!
Vienna Instruments - Solo Strings I from Vienna Symphonic is a sample-based virtual instrument, featuring the Violin, Viola, Violoncello and Double Bass. Performed by 4 soloists with many years of international concert work, the library provides instruments that are sensitive and clear, exact and homogeneous, technically perfect and utterly convincing in their musicality.Apart from the entire sample library of the Horizon Series' Solo Strings Edition, this instrument contains many additional articulations. 'Zigane,' the leisurely 'smeared' portamentos, are particularly impressive as Interval Performances using the enhanced audio engine's algorithms. Other articulations are the fast Interval Performances using legato, marcato and spiccato techniques.' Harsh' articulations are played with an especially raw, almost brutal attack and are available as superbly effective Interval and Repetition Performances.
Furthermore, there are special Performance Trills, repetitions in spiccato and ricochet articulations, sustains with fading vibrato, ponticello, sul tasto and numerous natural and artificial harmonics.The Vienna Instruments user interface is clearly arranged and includes pre-configured patches for immediate playability with no learning curve. The interface uses a powerful proprietary streaming audio engine that can load up to 3,456 articulations (patches) on one MIDI channel.Load times are extremely low and 64 stereo voices per instance can stream from the hard disc. A RAM optimizing utilities clears unused samples out of RAM. Users can easily create their own instruments, using 'drag and drop' functionality, and the instrument provides the ability for velocity crossfades and release control to be switched on or off in real time. Vienna Instruments - Solo Strings II from Vienna Symphonic is a sample-based virtual instrument, featuring the Violin, Viola, Violoncello and Double Bass. Vienna Instruments - Chamber Strings I from Vienna Symphonic is a sample-based virtual instrument, featuring a Violin Ensemble (6 players,) Viola Ensemble (4 players,) Violoncello Ensemble (3 players) and Double bass Ensemble (2 players.)The small string ensembles present a full instrumental range, rich in nuances.
With the help of enhanced performance algorithms, the ensembles' liveliness unfolds while playing these instruments. Tender or expressive, quiet or dynamic, light or energetic, the Chamber Strings exude their flair in intimate arrangements, both in chamber music compositions or in divided string groups.Large string ensembles combined with the Chamber Strings are enhanced by additional nuances and a wealth of variants. Apart from the entire sample library of the Horizon Series' Chamber Strings Edition, the instruments contain many additional articulations, including 'Zigane,' the leisurely 'smeared' portamentos, articulations with harsh attacks, harmonics, marcato performances, new repetitions and much more.The Vienna Instruments user interface is clearly arranged and includes pre-configured patches for immediate playability with no learning curve.
