Dimension Brass

The big Vienna Instruments Collections are the most powerful sample-based orchestral virtual instruments ever created. The collections, organized in the categories of Strings, Winds, Percussion & Keyboards, and Voices, offer the most complete playing techniques and articulations of all instruments, enabling you to create sonic results of the highest caliber and utmost authenticity. You can purchase them as VSL Instruments Bundles for a reduced bundle price.

Beside the Standard collections we offer Extended collections for almost all Instruments Collections. Based on the Standard libraries they include additional instruments and articulations. Standard library plus Extended library result in the Full library.

Vienna Instruments give you a wealth of possibilities for upgrades and expansions. Each registered Single Instrument Download or Special Edition Instrument can give you a credit toward the big Vienna Instruments collection that contains the corresponding instrument. In the shopping cart we will check for a possible discount which will be substracted if available. The licenses of discounted products will be delivered within a working day latest.

Explore New Dimensions in Brass Performances!

Vienna Dimension Brass gives an entirely new meaning to the term multi-samples! These instruments have been recorded in a very unique way at Vienna’s famed Silent Stage. While every note was played by a well-rehearsed ensemble of four brass players, each instrument was recorded separately, which allows you to access each voice individually. Still, they sound like an ensemble and not like four soloists, whether playing in unison, divisi, or even in four-part harmonies.

You can run Vienna Dimension Brass with the free Vienna Instruments player that is included in the box. To make the most of these unique multi-dimensional samples, we recommend using Vienna’s new sample player, Vienna Instruments PRO. Its tailor-made Humanize Presets let you easily control the performance accuracy of your virtual musicians at the single touch of a fader. With Vienna Dimension Brass, creating lively music with stunning authenticity is literally a breeze!

CONCLUSIONI
C’era bisogna di Dimension Brass? La risposta è assolutamente sì! La ragione è semplice: Dimension Brass non è una libreria comune. Se viene accoppiata al player nella versione Pro, essa diviene uno strumento raffinatissimo per la creazioni di parti di ottoni credibili. La qualità intrinseca dei campioni, come da tradizione VSL, è di primo ordine e l’integrazione con il player è perfettamente riuscita. Dimension Brass è uno strumento riuscito che però richiede applicazione e dedizione per dare buoni frutti.
