This section is the ideal expansion to the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings, featuring additional articulations of the Solo Strings and Orchestral Strings included in the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings section. As a user of the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings you may quickly and conveniently add articulations you may be missing. These samples are not included in the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings, but have been specifically selected for this collection. For example, while the solo violin’s articulations in the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings include staccato, détaché, sustained, sforzato, tremolo, pizzicato, legato and portamento, the PLUS collection supplements these with the addition of the following articulations: Short détaché, fortepiano, snap-pizzicato, col legno, half and whole tone trills, Repetition Performances (legato & spiccato), fast repetitions (150, 170, 190 bpm), artificial harmonics (staccato & sustain), and ponticello (staccato, sustain, tremolo). Please note that the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings PLUS contains some Matrices that resort to Patches from the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings. The prior installation of the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings is therefore required in order to load these Matrices. Your purchase of the Special Edition Vol. 1 Strings PLUS entitles you to download the free Vienna Instruments player software that includes the Vienna Ensemble mixing and host software.
