This introduction to the world of professional orchestral sounds is the opposite of a “light” version – it is the largest, broadest collection in the entire Horizon Series. The feedback from users of the award-winning VSL orchestral sample libraries was the driving force behind the creation of Opus 1. It contains handpicked samples and Performance Elements from the Vienna Symphonic Library's Pro Edition. The revolutionary Legato Performance instruments and a selection of the most important single note articulations allow for superior arrangements with the best possible realism.

Vienna Ensemble Pro has become the definitive cross-platform network solution in studios and production facilities around the world. This mixing and hosting application enables you to set up a multiple computer network with both Macs and PCs without the need for extra MIDI and audio interfaces – all you need is a simple Ethernet cable! Even when you’re using only one computer, Vienna Ensemble Pro improves your work-flow dramatically, with unique functions such as “Preserve” that keeps all your plug-ins and samples loaded while switching from one project to another – a huge time saver!

OPUS 2 expands the potential of OPUS 1 and the FIRST EDITION with additional articulations and further instruments. It also offers bonus files which include basic articulations of instruments from other Horizon Series titles, like Solo Strings, Epic Horns, French Oboe, or Woodwind Ensembles.

A World of Colors at Your Fingertips
Synchron Prime Harp brings the shimmering beauty of one of the orchestra’s most enchanting instruments into your studio. Performed by Tina Žerdin, long-time virtuoso harpist of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra, every note radiates artistry, finesse, and musicality. The instrument itself – a magnificent Lyon & Healy Style 30 Concert Grand – offers a wide dynamic range and tonal richness, perfectly captured at the renowned Vienna Synchron Stage.

Grand Subtleness. Indulge in the gentle sounds and colors of a magnificent Bösendorfer Imperial. Rather than being dull or muffled, the clear and transparent tones of this beautiful grand piano lend themselves well to a lot of styles, from intimate and sparse arrangements to larger instrumentations.

Fast-paced Scales. There’s a special quality to fast scales performed by an ensemble of string players. It’s the concurrent presence of precision and minimal random deviations in a well-rehearsed ensemble that creates the smoothness and vividness of string ensemble runs.

You Got Rhythm. This free collection includes percussion instruments that are small enough to be held and played with ease, but they pack a powerful punch in terms of rhythm and sound. Their versatility and unique timbres add texture and rhythm to a wide range of musical styles, from world and folk music to jazz and orchestral arrangements, and electronic music.

Ring in the Holidays, Vienna Style
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and with these special seasonal greetings from Vienna, you can add festive flair to your recording projects.

This special collection combines timeless holiday cheer with the majestic sound of the legendary bell of Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral – the largest bell in Austria and the third largest swinging bell in Europe. Best of all, this gift is completely free and ready to be unwrapped in your Vienna Assistant.
