Vienna Instruments PRO, the most powerful sample player on the market, just got a major update!

New Features in Vienna Instruments PRO 2

• APP Sequencer – The internal Auto-Playback and Pattern Sequencer offers a vast variety of orchestral patterns and voicings. Trigger rhythmic patterns, runs and accompanying arrangements of the whole orchestra at the touch of a single key!
• Enabling/Disabling of Cells – Load huge presets with hundreds of articulations in no time, and without taxing your RAM. Specific articulations get loaded only when you “enable” their cells with a simple double-click. Disable cells to clear samples from RAM, while keeping all patch settings intact.
• Auto Cell Naming – Easily identify all loaded articulations by their cell names.
• Auto Humanization – Assign appropriate performance accuracy settings to all of your loaded articulations at once.
• Enveloped Time Stretching – Easily determine which part of an articulation should be manipulated and adjust the speed of a portamento or the attack of a staccato.
• SSD ready – Load 10 times more samples into your RAM, 10 times faster, by reducing the sample preload buffer size when using Solid State Drives.
• Scale Editor – Change the pitch of specific notes of your scales to customize your microtunings.
• Extended Instrument Ranges – Extend the range of each articulation up to two whole tones (both in the high and low register) by simply grabbing the handles on the virtual keyboard.

Vienna Instruments PRO 2 will improve your workflow dramatically. We’ve included a host of features that will not only make your creative process faster and easier, but also add human behavior to your music.

Based on our immensely improved proprietary audio engine, you can customize all presets and articulations to your preferred way of creating music. Stack multiple instruments in a single instance of Vienna Instruments PRO 2, play them with polyphonic legato, and breathe even more life into the samples by controlling the performance accuracy of your virtual musicians in real-time, at the touch of a single fader. Super fast loading-times, time stretching, built-in reverb and EQ, and a straight user interface with basic and advanced views – among so many other cool features – come together to create a powerhouse of orchestral production that will add life to your music in ways you never imagined.

The Vienna Instruments PRO 2 player loads all of your existing and future Vienna Instruments sample collections.*

• Built-in reverb (algorithmic for low latency).
• New options for switching articulations, e.g., sequence map and interval map.
