 Introduction / Patch information

Introduction
Welcome to the Vienna Symphonic Library’s Special Edition! This document contains the mapping information for the Vienna
Instruments Special Edition Strings Standard and Extended Libraries. You will find in it a comprehensive survey of the
articulations/Patches content, a listing of abbreviations, and the mapping list proper which gives details for every Patch,
Matrix, and Preset.

Patch information
The Patch information includes articulation type, playing range, number of samples used, RAM requirements, the number of
velocity layers and alternations, AB switching possibilities, etc., as well as Patch specific information if necessary.
The articulations are largely the same within every Instrument group; here’s a brief summary of the articulations for the
Special Edition Strings and Strings+.
Instruments:
Standard Library: Solo Strings, Orchestral Strings
Extended Library: Chamber Strings, Appassionata Strings
Basic articulations: staccato, détaché, sustained, sforzato, legato, portamento, tremolo, pizzicato.
Appassionata Strings: staccato, sustained.
PLUS articulations:
Short détaché, fortepiano, snap pizzicato, col legno (except chamber strings), half and whole tone trills, Performance
Repetitions legato and spiccato, fast repetitions (except orchestral basses), artificial harmonics staccato and
sustained. Solo and orchestral strings include ponticello staccato, sustained and tremolo, and the orchestral strings
also offer muted staccatos, sustains and tremolos (except basses).
Appassionata Strings: con sordino staccato, sustained.
The velocity layer switches generally are the same for patches with the same number of layers but may occasionally be
adapted to the instrument’s requirements. The Patch information also lists the velocity layers in detail.

Interval performances
Interval performances are one of the outstanding features of our Vienna Instruments Collections. They allow you to play
authentic legato without any programming tricks. In our Silent Stage, all intervals from minor second to the octave were
recorded for every instrument – up and down, of course; that makes 24 interval samples per note for one velocity alone!
When you load an interval performance Patch and play a line on your keyboard, the software automatically joins the right
samples with their interval transitions again, and you hear a perfect legato. By the way, this technique is also used for other
articulations like the strings’ portamento (which are also included in the Special Edition), marcato, or détaché and spiccato.
The interval performances also contain two legato repetitions for every note which alternate automatically whenever you
strike a key more than once. There also are preconfigured thresholds for legato and repetition notes: The legato threshold –
i.e., the maximum break between notes where legato is played – is 50 ms. Otherwise, a sustained starting note will sound
so that you can easily start a new phrase without leaving the legato Patch. For note repetitions, the threshold is 200 ms: a
break up to that duration will yield a legato repetition; if the break is longer, a new starting note. But naturally, it’s mingling
legato with other articulations which makes a piece really come alive.
Due to their nature, all interval performances are monophonic; otherwise, the software would have to be able to decide
which source note belongs to which target note. To circumvent this, you can open two VI instances of the same instrument
on separate MIDI tracks without any additional strain on your RAM.

 Introduction /

Legato durations
Here’s an overview of the average durations in seconds of the legato and portamento samples for every instrument in this
Collection. “Looped” indicates that a Patch already contains looped sustain legatos. Please note that these are only mean
values since the durations never are exactly the same.
Instrument Legato Portamento Instrument Legato Portamento
Solo Violin 2.5 3 Orchestra Violins looped looped
Solo Viola 3 4 Orchestra Violas looped looped
Solo Cello 3 5 Orchestra Cellos looped looped
Solo Bass 3 4 Orchestra Basses looped looped

Chamber Violins looped 5

Chamber Violas 12 5
Chamber Cellos 13 4.5
Chamber Basses 9 4.5

Matrix information
Each Matrix listing contains information regarding the Patches used for the Matrix, the number of horizontal and vertical
dimensions, and switching properties. A mapping table shows the Cell positions for each of the Matrix’ Patches.
In order to facilitate working with MIDI controller switches like the Modulation wheel, the switching positions are not
distributed equally across the controller range if they control more than two Matrix rows or columns; generally, the
switching range will be narrower at the extreme positions because they are easy to set, and wider in the middle where it is
harder to find the desired setting.

Preset information
The Preset information lists the Matrices used in the Preset as well as its keyswitches. All other information can be gathered
from the Matrix and Patch listings, so there’s not really much to say here. Please note that the Matrices of a Preset can also
be switched with MIDI Program Changes 101–112 instead of keyboard notes.

Pitch
For designating pitch, the Vienna Symphonic Library uses International Pitch Notation (IPN), which was agreed upon
internationally under the auspices of the Acoustical Society of America. In this system the international standard of
A=440 Hz is called A4 and middle C is C4. All pitches are written as capital letters, their respective octave being indicated
by a number next to it. The lowest C on the piano is C1 (the A below that is A0), etc.
You can tune your Vienna Instruments to other players, or adjust it to tunings of earlier musical periods by setting the
Perform page’s Master Tune option within a range of 420 to 460 Hz.
