Vsl Solo Strings Sample Collection
Product Info
Christian Eisenberger, Anett Homoki, Rubén Dubrovski, Martin Deuring. Four soloists who invest their life’s blood and their solid experience from many years of international concert work into Vienna Instruments. Sensitive and clear, exact and homogeneous, technically perfect, and utterly convincing in their musicality. Here there are four artists at work who not only are in command of their instruments but also know exactly what it’s about due to several years of working for the Vienna Symphonic Library. Their performances at the Silent Stage come alive again in this Vienna Instrument.
Apart from the entire sample treasure of the Horizon Series’ Solo Strings Edition, this Vienna Instrument contains many new articulations: “Zigane”, the leisurely “smeared” portamentos, are particularly impressive as Interval Performances with the new audio engine’s algorithms.
Another new articulation are the fast Interval Performances in legato, marcato, and spiccato techniques. “Harsh” articulations are played with an especially raw, almost brutal attack, and now are available as superbly effective Interval and Repetition Performances. Furthermore there are, e.g., special Performance Trills, repetitions in spiccato and richochet articulations, sustains with fading vibrato, ponticello, sul tasto, and numerous natural and artificial harmonics.
