Expansion containing new articulations for Special Edition users

This DVD collection is the ideal expansion to the Vienna Special Edition and offers new articulations for all string, brass and woodwinds instruments included in the Special Edition Standard and Extended Libraries. All users of the Vienna Special Edition can now quickly and conveniently add articulations they might have been missing until now.

For example, while the Solo Violin’s articulations in the Special Edition include staccato, détaché, sustained, sforzato, tremolo, pizzicato, legato, and portamento, the Strings PLUS collection supplements these with the addition of the following articulations for the solo violin: Short détaché, fortepiano, snap-pizzicato, col legno, trills 1 & 2, Repetition Performances (legato & spiccato), fast repetitions (150, 170, 190 bpm), harmonics (staccato & sustain), and ponticello (staccato, sustain, tremolo).

The Vienna Special Edition PLUS Full Library contains 31 GB of uncompressed sample data in 44.1kHz/24-bit. Due to an innovative optimization process, the Vienna Instruments engine decompresses the samples in real-time, so that they take up only 21 GB of space on your hard disk or in your computer’s RAM.
