SOLO STRINGS - VIENNA SYMPHONIC LIBRARY

Natural Intelligence
VIENNA INSTRUMENTS, the most powerful Virtual Instruments currently on the market, are the
ultimate blend of easy-to-use software and an inconceivably vast array of samples. For the first time
hundreds of inspiring articulations in one preset and on a single MIDI track are automatically
summoned by our proprietary Performance Detection algorithms as you play in real-time. If you
never imagined a Virtual Instrument could read your mind, think again. Never before has
composing been so natural, fast, and so much fun.
VIENNA INSTRUMENTS User Interface: Left and right hand Workspaces, Central Info Screen,
and Selector Ring with Performance Display.

Proceed with Speed
• Pre-configured inspiring Patches for intuitive playing with zero learning curve.
• Performance Detection algorithms integrated in Patches without the need to switch
manually between articulations:
- Interval Detection – Provides natural intervals and note transitions for legato, portamento,
glissando, spiccato, marcato, détaché styles in real-time.
- Repetition Detection – Lets you play natural repeated notes in legato, portato, staccato,
spiccato styles at any speed!
- Pattern and Trill Detection – Avoids same-sample occurrences, even within complex
phrases and trills.
- Speed Detection – The tempo of your performance automatically triggers the
appropriately articulated samples and switches seamlessly between articulations.
• Trigger comprehensive sets of articulations using hardware controllers (MIDI learn),
key switches, and speed, without ever leaving the current MIDI channel.
• Layer Articulations for simultaneous or crossfade performances in one Preset.
• Easily design your own Instruments using Drag & Drop.
• Switch Velocity Crossfades and Release Control on/off on the fly.
The Engine
• Extremely powerful proprietary streaming audio engine, developed by Vienna Symphonic
Library’s engineering mastermind Christian Teuscher.
• Up to 3,456 Articulations (Patches) on one MIDI channel.
• RAM pre-load of up to 25,600 stereo samples (based on 1.6 GB available RAM under
Windows; 48,000 samples on a 3 GB Mac G5).
• 64 stereo voices per instance streaming from disk.
• Extremely low load times (average 1 sec. per Patch) using pre-caching.
• Lossless real-time de-compression for using less RAM and hard disk resources.
• RAM Optimizer kicks unused samples out of RAM.
