Vienna Symphonic Library

The Vienna Symphonic Library company was founded in Vienna by Herb Tucmandl, a visionary composer, musician, and filmmaker who helped redefine the modern sample library. By inventing new sampling techniques and tools, Tucmandl and his team have created what has become the most widely used orchestral sample library in the industry.

The Vienna Special Editions offer a large-scale orchestra and more at your fingertips, in resource–saving, affordable packages. There are 14 individual instrument "sections" collections (Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion & More, Keyboards & Guitars) that may be purchased separately. You'll save even more when you purchase any of the available Bundles.

All sounds work perfectly in a variety of musical settings, from pop and rock environments to large symphonic works. Various upgrade paths are available to allow you to expand your library when you want to, according to your needs and budget.
