You can also switch articulations using a continuous controller, such as the mod wheel. For example, hit the lowest C with your left hand and the right hand plays for staccato notes, hit the C# and you are playing détaché, D for sustained and D# for legato notes and so on. Key switches are notes outside the range of the instrument (usually at the low end). There are several ways to call up the different articulations, including key switches and MIDI controllers and they can be used in many combinations in a single matrix. Matrices are built from patches, each of which contain a single articulation of an instrument. The matrix approach is where the user interface gets powerful. From my experience, nobody is doing a better job of helping their users get the most out of music sampling software. Great to have a visual guide for a process that some find daunting.īy the way, VSL has created some excellent learning tools, including instructional videos and tutorial demo sequences for popular DAW applications.
However, the installation tutorial video was otherwise excellent. It would have been nice if the documentation recommended removing Syncrosoft keys used for other products. I temporarily removed the HALion key and completed the authorization with no problems. The only snag I ran into was caused by having both the Vienna Key and another Syncrosoft key for HALion connected during authorization. Authorizing the standard and extended libraries was nearly trouble free.
It is sold by VSL as the Vienna Key ($39 US). SE requires a Syncrosoft USB security key, which must be registered online.

I installed SE on a G5 Quad with 4GB RAM, OS 10.4 and Logic Pro 7. Most of the work is done by a background process, which shifts the memory and CPU burden outside of the host DAW, such as Logic.

The minimum configuration is 1GB RAM on a G4 1 GHz under OS 10.4 or a 2GHz PC with Windows XP. RTAS support OS X was introduced in October. The VI player runs stand-alone (for live) or as a DAW plug-in with Audio Units, RTAS and VST compatibility. For example, you can play quick short notes, longer notes and tremolo in a single matrix set-up. The multi-patch matrices reduce the number of sequencer tracks needed to create a realistic performance using multiple playing styles.
The cross-platform VI player serves up the 24-bit, 44.1 kHz samples as simple patches, containing a single articulation, for example, violins with short notes, and in combinations called matrices, which combine related articulations for use in a single MIDI track or switched instantly for live performance.

Whereas previous VSL products relied on third party sample players, such as Giga, HALion and Apple Logic’s EXS-24, the VI products use proprietary software for performance control and hard drive streaming. A complete listing of tracks can be found at vsl.co.at. For all you Beatles fans there’s even a piccolo trumpet. Highlights include saxes, contrabass trombone, chamber strings (small ensembles), Appassionata strings (larger ensembles), Epic Horns, harp, classical guitar, electric guitar, Vienna Konzerthaus organ and harpsichord. The Extended Library adds 35 instruments and ensembles but does not augment the articulations in the Standard Library instruments. Rounding out the set are, Bösendorfer grand, celesta, glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba and vibes. It includes solo and ensemble strings and brass, solo woodwinds and percussion, which includes drums, gongs, cymbals, Taiko drums, thunder sheet, metal chimes and plate bells. The Standard Library contains 28 instruments and ensembles from the post-romantic orchestra. The instruments in SE were selected from VSL’s extensive line of Vienna Instruments (VI) products and require 81 GB of drive space. In this review, we’ll see if VSL has an affordable all-in-one orchestral library with the features and sonic quality you would expect from a company that repeatedly sets the standard. SE comprises two products, the Standard Library ($465 US) and the Extended Library ($625 US), distributed in the U.S by ILIO. Vienna Instruments Special Edition (SE) is an all-in-one symphonic sample library and is one of the newer products using this software.
Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) GmbH in Vienna, Austria is a leading provider of symphonic instrument samples and has recently introduced a dedicated software player for their Vienna Instrument products that tackles these challenges. The new standard in sample libraries for computers is 24-bit and, for musical instruments, a variety of articulations must be within easy reach. The arms race in sampling is all about realism and audio quality.
