Every Vienna Instruments collection comes with the custom Vienna Instruments engine. Get Vienna Instruments PRO to add another layer of expression to Vienna Instruments and improve your workflow.

This harmonious ensemble of 15 strings (6 violins, 4 violas, 3 cellos and 2 double basses) covers nearly the entire spectrum of string chamber literature. Many composers use the CHAMBER STRINGS for larger orchestrations as well, doubling melody lines to enhance the string sound with more variety and expression. CHAMBER STRINGS I contains all imaginable articulations, including snap pizzicatos, glissandos and artificial harmonics. CHAMBER STRINGS II offers most of the articulations in CHAMBER STRINGS I as muted versions (con sordino).

Included Collections:

Chamber Strings I
Chamber Strings II

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