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. Now, the innovation continues with the release of the mammoth Symphonic Cube, powered by Vienna Instruments. Featuring starkly simple yet flexible user interfaces, Vienna Instruments bring orchestral production to another level of realism and provide unprecedented creative freedom for the user.
