Strings

This Collection expands Vienna's unique and successful Dimension Strings series to the softest string sounds ever. These instruments were exclusively played "sul tasto" (near the fingerboard), offering all-new sonic subtleties.

This instrument was recorded at VSL’s Silent Stage and offers an alternative to the solo violin included in the Solo Strings I Collection. It is the perfect choice if you’re looking for two different timbres of the same instrument, e.g., for solo and chamber music instrumentations, such as in a string quartet. Solo Violin 2 offers an extensive range of articulations. Playing techniques include Legato and Portamento Performances, sustains with and without vibrato as well as with progressive vibrato, medium and strong dynamics (crescendos & diminuendos) in various lengths, Staccato Repetitions in various speeds, Trill Performances in four intervals (from half-tone to major third), pizzicato, sfz, sffz, fp, pfp and many more.

This solo instrument offers an alternative to the cello included in the Solo Strings I Collection and is the perfect choice if you’re looking for two different timbres of the same instrument, e.g., for solo or chamber music instrumentations. Solo Cello 2 was played and recorded at VSL’s own Silent Stage. The extensive range of articulations leaves nothing to be desired. Playing techniuqes include staccatos, Portamento and Legato Performances as well as Legato Repetitions in various speeds, sustains with and without vibrato as well as with progessive vibrato, tremolos, Trill Performances in four intervals (from half-tone to major third trills), pizzicatos, sforzatos and sforzatissimos, fp and pfp.

Introducing the newest addition to Vienna’s revolutionary “Dimension” series of ensemble instrument collections. Vienna Dimension Strings II complements the original Vienna Dimension Strings I with muted string ensembles.
