VSL Vienna Instruments: Special Edition Vol. 5 – Dimension Strings


These fantastic string ensembles of eight violins, six violas, six cellos and four double basses feature the most important playing techniques from our popular Collections Vienna Dimension Strings I and II.

They offer the articulations staccato, détaché, sustained, sforzato, legato, portamento, tremolo, pizzicato, all played without mute (“senza sordino”) and with mute (“con sordino”).


Stunning Realism Through Imperfection

The string players of these ensembles were recorded in homogeneous groups, capturing all of the human interactions and slight imperfections of a live performance.

Individual microphones for each player allow you to access each voice of the ensemble separately.

Even the best musicians never play in perfect unison; slight imperfections in pitch and timing, as well as different timbres and vibrato intensities create a lively, beautiful ensemble sound.

When playing as a group, musicians continually adapt to each other, and their interactions within the ensemble reveal the “magic” of a live performance.

VI Special Edition Vol. 5 comes with the free Vienna Instruments Pro player, whose Auto Humanization feature makes use of all of the nuances and variations of the Dimension Strings patches automatically while simply playing the keyboard.

Since all the recorded instruments are available separately, you may easily switch between any number of musicians of the ensemble, from the principal, to single desks, to the full ensemble size.
