Enjoy the expertly sampled and production-ready virtual instruments of the Vienna Symphonic Library Studio Cube Collection to bring flexibility to your music production. This bundle of the seven included libraries allows you to sample from virtuosic solo violins and rich string ensembles, smooth woodwinds, brilliant brass, and a vast percussion arsenal recorded on the Vienna Silent Stage, to add those distinct sounds to your own. Production-ready, these libraries are packed with dynamic expressions and are easily adaptable to most any genre. Compatible with Windows and Mac systems, AU, AAX Native, VST, and VST3 versions are included for use with your favorite compatible DAW.
Vienna Symphonic Vienna Studio Solo Strings is a virtual instrument with a library that accurately captures the sound and expressiveness of two solo violins, a solo viola, two solo cellos, and a solo double bass playing at Synchron Stage Vienna. The library is based on the Collections VI Solo Strings I, Solo Violin 2, and Solo Cello 2, which were updated, reedited, and mapped to improve playability with the included Synchron Player and deliver realistic string performances right out of the box, for film and game scoring, trailer music, or sound design.
The Synchron Player's time-stretch feature allows you to change the speed of vibratos, tremolos, trills, portamentos, and glissandos in real time using a MIDI controller. You can even speed up or slow down scale runs while they're playing back or automatically sync them to the host tempo.
Utilizing the Synchron Player's Release Sample technology, along with the wide variety of optimized release sounds greatly increases the articulations range of use. Short notes ring out authentically depending on the body resonance and the note's volume. Long- and medium-length notes (détaché, portato, crescendos, and diminuendos) can be played shorter than their recorded length, while still being heard with authentic release sounds.
Repetition performances including articulations ranging from legato and portato variations to staccato and spiccato are also enhanced by the Release Sample technology and by proprietary repetition and Interval Logic technology. These Multi Shorts patches automatically provide you with notes that sound natural in medium and fast passages, depending on the note you played before (the same note or an interval) and on how long a note is played.
The Dynamic Layer patch offers up to nine velocity layers of each articulated note, so you can play passages with extremely nuanced dynamics—accessing the individual velocity layers of each articulation with the mod wheel or key velocity.
Meticulously balanced volume levels of the entire sample database allow for seamless note transitions when moving from one playing technique to the next. Velocity crossfading is optimized for extrasmooth volume changes.
Many articulations are available as looped notes such as sustains (with and without vibrato), trills, tremolos, and more. Unlooped legatos are also available to access the natural musicality of each beautifully articulated target note as performed by the musician.
Making use of the Synchron Player's straightforward preset and patch structure, the wide variety of articulations and playing techniques is clearly laid out and quickly accessible, making the instruments a breeze to play on the keyboard.

If you're looking for some exciting, realistic string sections for composing pieces in software, Studio Chamber Strings from Vienna Symphonic Library might just be for you. This collection of virtual instruments features six first violins, six second violins, four violas, three cellos, and two double basses. Taken together, they make a credible, authentic string section that can help flesh out your work, or add nuance to your existing orchestral VIs.
Much of the sample content has its roots in the Chamber Strings I Collection, though those samples have been re-edited and remastered to give you a modern sound that's easy to play. New velocity layers have been added in the legato articulations; indeed, you'll notice a large volume of articulations and expressions included in this string section.
This software comes with the Vienna Synchron Player to play all these string samples. More than 90,000 samples are employed in this virtual instrument for a library that totals 27.8GB. This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and operates in AU, VST, and AAX platforms.

This Studio Harps from Vienna Symphonic Library features samples of two distinct harps; harp 1 played by Ruth Munzert, and harp 2 played by Julia Reth. Each harp is sampled and can be played "dry" by selecting unprocessed without any reverb or placement, or you can use presets such as close, classic, and distant let you easily place and reverberate the instruments with pre-configured combinations of convolution and algorithmic reverbs. The library has been optimized for the Vienna Synchron Player, but it is compatible with DAWs running on Windows and macOS that support AU, AAX Native, VST, and VST3 protocols. Meticulously planned and executed mixer presets place the instrument on its ideal spot on stage, resulting in a production-ready sound "out of the box".
The electronic download of Studio Woodwinds from Vienna Symphonic Library is a collection of 122,825 samples that include 12 solo woodwind instruments. The software features a reedited and expanded sample database combined with the signature ambience of Synchron Stage Vienna. This collection can be used on Mac or Windows computers for applications such as film production, broadcast TV, music production, and more.

This Vienna Symphonic Library Studio Percussion includes the updated sample database of instruments that were recorded in the tight and controlled ambience of the Vienna Symphony's second studio, the Silent Stage. All drums and percussion instruments can therefore be placed in any acoustic environment and on any position in a virtual room, from dry closets to halls, venues and rooms provided by Vienna MIR Pro 3D. Each instrument comes with customized impulse responses that make placing them in their ideal spot on the virtual Synchron Stage Vienna a breeze. Mixer Presets such as Close, Classic, and Distant, with or without the Synchron Player's included MIR convolution technology, guarantee a perfect sound out of the box and match the acoustic placement of the Synchron Series instruments that were recorded on the large Stage A of the symphony's Hollywood-approved scoring stage.
