INSTRUMENTS

Viola Ensemble (4 Musicians)

The small string ensembles of the Chamber Strings I Collection present themselves as a full instrumental body rich in nuances. Tender or expressive, quiet or dynamic, light as a feather or energetic – with the help of our new performance algorithms the ensembles’ liveliness magically unfolds when you play. The Chamber Strings I exude their flair for intimate arrangements in chamber music compositions or in divided string groups. Large string ensembles combined with the Chamber Strings I are enhanced by additional nuances and a wealth of variations.

Additionally to Vienna’s basic articulations such as legato, portamento legato, détaché, spiccato and the repetition performances this Vienna Instrument contains further characteristics such as “Zigane” portamentos, articulations with harsh attacks, harmonics, marcato performances, new repetitions, and many others.

Your purchase also entitles you to download the free Vienna Ensemble 2 mixing and host software.

The Chamber Strings I Full Library contains 43 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 29 GB of space on your hard disk. Please note: Even if you licensed the Standard Library only, the Full Library of your Collection gets installed on your hard drive since Standard and Extended Library can’t be separated due to structural database requirements.
