Vienna Symphonic Library Symphonic Cube Chamber Strings

Symphonic Cube Chamber Strings description:

Part of the massive Symphonic Cube Collection, the Vienna Instruments Chamber Strings is simply a must have item for the serious professional.

Like they did in the namesake Edition of the Horizon Series, the small string ensembles 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 exude their flair in intimate arrangements as much as in chamber music compositions or in divided string groups. Large string ensembles combined with the Chamber Strings are enhanced by additional nuances and a wealth of variants.

Apart from the entire sample treasure of the Horizon Series’ Chamber Strings Edition, this Vienna Instrument contains many new articulations: “Zigane” (Gypsy) portamentos, articulations with harsh attacks, harmonics, marcato performances, new repetitions and many more are the reason why the Vienna Instrument nearly doubles the sample count of the Horizon Series’ Chamber Strings.
