Berlin Soloists
Berlin Soloists
The Berlin Soloists - Muse Sounds Edition is crafted exclusively for the Muse
Sounds engine: derived from a combination of the Orchestral Tools libraries
“Soloists 1” and “Soloists 2” and carefully optimised for playback from
notation.
Berlin Soloists features nine solo woodwind instruments expertly sampled and
recorded in the dry Teldex Solo Booth in Berlin, for a close intimate sound.
These solo instruments enhance the ensembles in the Berlin Woodwinds main
collection. Their intimate, up-front sound blends beautifully with the more
spacious ensemble sound of the main room, while also giving soloists the
attention they deserve.

Accessing Playing Techniques in MuseScore
Many of the playing techniques in MuseScore Studio are accessible through
the Staff Text feature. To apply a playing technique, rst select the starting
note for the technique, then assign Staff Text to it. Next, click on the speaker
icon above the staff of the assigned note to open the Playing Techniques
menu. From there, you can select the desired playing technique. If there are
more than eight techniques available, you may need to scroll to see all options.
Playback Details
The sustains are sampled with multiple dynamics, from pp to ff, and smoothly
morph between them to produce realistic crescendos and decrescendos. For
short notes, there are multiple repetition samples, enhancing realism during
repeated notes.
Tip: Using Berlin Soloists with the other Berlin Series instruments
will give a natural balance across all instruments.
About Muse Sounds Editions
Muse Sounds Editions are exclusively created editions of sample libraries,
designed to work with the Muse Sounds Engine, found inside MuseScore
Studio and StaffPad.
These editions are derived from the same content, but are not compatible with
Kontakt or VST versions of the same library.
The Muse Sounds concept is to distill the technical and sonic achievements of
complex, vast sample libraries, which were often created to be triggered via
complex MIDI programming, into a simple, musical and intuitive experience for
composers who work with notation.
