Vienna Brass

The Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) is a producer of samples of orchestral instruments recorded by members of the Vienna Philharmonic. For recording the samples, VSL uses the Silent Stage, a recording studio specially constructed for this purpose. The number of recorded samples currently is about 1.75 million. VSL's products include legato and repetition articulations. VSL's Vienna Instruments Symphonic Cube contains a full orchestra made up of ten collections that can also be acquired separately: solo strings, chamber strings, two collections of orchestral strings, harps, two collections of woodwinds, two collections of brass (one of which includes Wagner tuba), and percussion.

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.

The trombone has been found in ensembles and as a solo instrument throughout its history since the Middle Ages and can be used in all genres of music for brass instruments. In the course of its history, the trombone has become increasingly versatile and its stylistic possibilities have grown to the point where today the instrument is no longer subject to any stylistic constraints.

Having received high acclaim for the Solo Woodwinds, the Vienna Symphonic Library team felt compelled to create the Woodwind Ensembles, implementing the same exhaustive use of our Performance Elements.

The complete Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestra from KONTAKT 2 was revised and has been supplemented by many further NI-produced instruments.
The immense variations in sound and articulation has been ensured by several special functions:
Typical instrument playing techniques /articulations can be recalled live (e.g. staccato, tremolo, sustain, fortepiano) while the convolution effect precisely reproduces real concert rooms acoustics. A new legato mode, an equally ingeniously yet simple Harmonizer, as well as a MIDI filter for the automatic production of certain kinds of scales ("Constrain to Scale") give completely new possibilities for creative production.

The KONTAKT 5 library is a vast, ready-to-use musical toolset, containing more than 43 GB of high-quality samples and well over 1000 production-ready instruments. The palette spans from world music instruments and big band sounds to legendary synthesizers and contemporary club sounds. From fuzz tone guitars to orchestral instruments, and from realistic acoustic drum kits to the latest hip-hop loops.
