The recordings in Vienna’s famed Silent Stage started as early as the fall of 2008. With a total of more than 270,000 samples, recorded in four years at our Silent Stage, it is by far the most ambitious and intensive production in the history of the Vienna Symphonic Library. To put these numbers in perspective: Since the foundation of the company in 2000, Vienna have published more than two million samples, covering nearly every instrument of the symphonic orchestra and more.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 24 string players of Vienna Dimension Strings I were recorded in homogeneous groups (8 violins, 6 violas, 6 cellos and 4 double basses), capturing all of the human interactions and slight imperfections of a live performance, but this time we’ve used individual microphones for each player, which allows you to access each voice individually.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eCreating your personal string sound\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVienna have even recorded each string of each instrument in its full range (approximately one octave plus a fifth), and with the included presets you may easily decide whether to have the musicians play on all strings (with a change to the next string in fifth intervals), or forced playing on a certain string. You can also choose to play with no open strings. Getting a darker or brighter string sound has never been easier and more flexible. What’s more, the technique of individual microphone placement is perfectly suited for divisi writing! For the violins, preset setups for two groups of four players and four desks of two players are provided.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eStunning realism through imperfection\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOver the last decade, sample libraries have become more and more “perfect”, sometimes at the expense of human feel. In reality, even the best musicians never play in perfect unison; one makes a change a little slower, another faster, but maybe with more dynamics, and so on. When playing as a group, musicians continually adapt, matching timbre, intensity, vibrato, intonation, bow speed and more. All these interactions happen automatically in a good ensemble, led by a good conductor, and reveal the “magic” of a live performance. With Vienna Dimension Strings I, individual changes in dynamic levels of the players within a group can be achieved easily with velocity crossfades. You may even designate one or two “weak” musicians to play sloppy notes, with hesitant or delayed starts, for instance. With the Vienna Instruments PRO player and its Auto Humanization feature, all kinds of nuances and variations are possible while simply playing the keyboard. The result sounds absolutely striking!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCheck out the complete list of features below and don’t miss the detailed interview with Herb Tucmandl, the mastermind behind Vienna Dimension Strings.

Assign individual controllers such as velocity crossfade and\/or expression for each player for realistic dynamic changes and customized balance within the ensemble. Ready-made presets for selecting the individual strings of each player of a group –“force strings” (all notes will be performed on the preferred string, e.g., for the violins: G, D, A, E), “avoid open strings” and “use open strings”. Perfectly adjusted vibrato\/non-vibrato articulations with unlimited crossfade possibilities (available for sustains, Legato and Portamento Performances) – for an ideal sonic impression, especially in quiet passages. Mix articulations within the ensemble (e.g., desk 1 with vibrato, desk 2 without vibrato). Free positioning of individual players or desks on a virtual stage (e.g., when using Vienna MIR PRO or Vienna MIR PRO 24).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eAdvanced features with Vienna Instruments PRO\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eInstant Human Performance Control within the ensemble – timing and intonation of each player can be adjusted individually.
