Introduction
Introduction
This document contains the mapping information for the Solo Strings Collections of Vienna Instruments. You will find in it a
comprehensive survey of the articulations/patches for the Standard and the Extended Libraries of each instrument, a listing
of abbreviations, and the mapping list proper which gives details for every Patch, Matrix, and Preset in the Collection.
Patch information
The Patch information includes articulation type, playing range, number of samples used, RAM requirements, the number of
velocity layers and alternations, AB switching possibilities, etc., as well as Patch specific information if necessary.
Where the type of articulation requires a special mapping (e.g., natural harmonics patches), the mapping layout will be
shown in a detailed graphic.
Major and minor runs are always mapped to the keys of their scale, as are arpeggios to the keys of the broken chord
played. Grace notes and mordents are mapped to their target note, i.e., the note the articulation ends with. Due to their
nature, all upward and downward articulations (e.g., fixed glissandos and octave runs) have different mapping ranges –
the upward movements ending the involved interval below the Patch’s upper mapping range, while downward movements
end the interval above its lower mapping range. (Please note that not all of the articulations mentioned above may be
contained in your Collection.)
Matrix information
Each Matrix listing contains information regarding the Patches used for the Matrix, the number of horizontal and vertical
dimensions, and switching properties. A mapping table shows the Cell positions for each of the Matrix’ Patches.
A/B switching normally is set to A0 for upward/crescendo, and B0 for downward/diminuendo. However, some bass
instruments go below that range so that the A/B keys have to be adapted accordingly. For example, the A/B switches for
double bass are A0 and A#0 because the instrument’s lower range extends to B0.
In order to facilitate working with MIDI controller switches like the Modulation wheel, the switching positions are not
distributed equally across the controller range if they control more than two Matrix rows or columns; generally, the
switching range will be narrower at the extreme positions because they are easy to set, and wider in the middle where it is
harder to find the desired setting.
Speed controller switches naturally are adjusted to the Patches involved, and have been tested carefully as to their
playability. However, if you find that they do not fit your playing, or want to try out other settings, you can change this as
well as any other controller settings in the Map Control tab of the Vienna Instruments player’s Advanced View, and save the
result in your Custom Matrix folder.
Preset information
The Preset information lists the Matrices used in the Preset as well as its keyswitches. All other information can be gathered
from the Matrix and Patch listings, so there’s not really much to say here. Please note that the Matrices of a Preset can also
be switched with MIDI Program Changes (VI: 1–12; VI PRO: 1–127) instead of keyboard notes, and if you like to keep your
keyboard free for playing instead of switching, you can disable Preset keyswitching and only use MIDI Program Changes.
Vienna Instruments PRO also allows you to define a MIDI Control for Preset keyswitching.
Library updates
If you purchased your Instrument Collection via download or on the Vienna Hard Drive, all previous library updates will
already be included; if you own a DVD Collection, you can download the updates from your personal User Area. A general
description of Vienna Instruments PRO 2 Matrices and Presets included in these updates can be found in the Appendix
“Vienna Instruments PRO 2 Matrices and Presets” on page 169.

The orchestra
There are several ways of setting up an orchestra, depending on the era of the piece played, the type of the piece and the
instruments it requires, and even on the preference of the conductor. The figure below shows one of the more common
setups, which can be taken as a guideline for mixing a composition, properly positioning the instruments in the stereo field
and adding reverb according to the size of the concert hall you want your piece to be played in.
1 1st and 2nd violin 9 Bassoon, contrabassoon

2 Viola 10/11 Trumpet
3 Cello 12/13 Horn
4 Double bass 14/15 Trombone
5 Harp 16 Tuba
6 Concert flute, piccolo 17 Timpani
7 Oboe, English horn 18 Drums, cymbals
8 Clarinet, bass clarinet 19 other percussion instruments
Pitch
For designating pitch, the Vienna Symphonic Library uses International Pitch Notation (IPN), which was agreed upon
internationally under the auspices of the Acoustical Society of America. In this system the international standard of
A=440 Hz is called A4 and middle C is C4. All pitches are written as capital letters, their respective octave being indicated
by a number next to it. The lowest C on the piano is C1 (the A below that is A0), etc.
You can tune your Vienna Instruments to other players, or adjust it to tunings of earlier musical periods by setting the
Perform page’s Master Tune option within a range of 420 to 460 Hz.

Description
The violin, as the smallest of the stringed instruments, is the soprano instrument of the violin family (violin, viola, cello).
Since the Baroque era the strings – the most homogeneous of all instrument groups – have been the heart of the orchestra.
Violins are always used in chorus and divided into 1st and 2nd violins. Modern string sections use 14 first and 12 second
violins (in especially large orchestras 16 first and 14 second violins).
Range and notation

The violin has a range of G3–A7 (harmonic D8).
It is a non-transposing instrument and notated in treble clef.
Sound characteristics
Full, lively, singing, eloquent, introspective, supernatural, sensuous, lustrous, bright, metallic, vibrant, clear, glassy, flute-
like, shrill, brilliant, sparkling, calm, thin, whistling, round, pure, muffled, solemn, austere, dark, muted, open, sustaining,
rough, wafting, soft, sweet, merry, dancing, veiled.
The 1st violins generally play the higher part, which is usually the main melody. The 2nd violins often play the part of “lower
sisters”. They often play an octave below, darkening the overall timbre.
Combination with other instruments

All stringed instruments form a group with a homogeneous overall sound and perform tasks ranging from the subtlest tonal
effects to the most eloquent reinforcements of sound and from the greatest possible tonal compactness to the greatest
possible diversity. The violins’ pizzicato blends well with the harp.
Woodwinds, generally speaking, provide the strings with more volume and power, while the strings make the woodwinds
more mellow, especially when playing in unison.
The tonal blend with brass instruments is not as desirable. Perhaps the horn blends most successfully with violins,
especially in concert with the cellos.

Description
The viola is the alto instrument of the violin family. It is constructed using the same components as the violin, the only
difference being the larger size. Its stately and dark timbre contrasts sharply with that of the violin.
The modern symphony orchestra usually uses 10 (in large orchestras 12) violas.
Range and notation

The viola has a range from C3–A6 (harmonic E7).
The viola is a non-transposing instrument notated in alto clef, and in treble clef from the second octave above middle C. The
viola’s range lies mainly between C3 and G5, that is, within the alto clef’s domain.

The sound of the violas as a group achieves an austere charm which is used for melodic tasks at dramatic turning points,
especially in the opera orchestra.

The doubling of voices in the middle register is one of the viola’s customary roles as it is acting as an intermediary between
the violins and the cellos.
Woodwinds provide the strings with more volume and power, while the strings make the woodwinds more mellow, especially
when playing in unison. In high registers and played forte or fortissimo the viola is perfectly capable of matching the
woodwinds for intensity and acerbity of sound, an effect that is intensified when the groups play in combination.
The combination of violas and the majority of brass instruments produces a relatively homogeneous sound.

Description
The cello is the tenor and bass instrument of the violin family.
In the 19th century the cello advanced along with the violin to become the most important bowed instrument for solo works.
The modern symphony orchestra usually uses 8 (in large orchestras 10) cellos.
Range and notation

The cello has a range from C2–A5 (harmonic A7).
It is a non-transposing instrument notated mainly in bass clef. Because of its huge range tenor and treble clef are also used.
Mellow, warm, sonorous, full, clear, brilliant, vibrant, singing, bright, lustrous, stately, lyrical, cantabile, thick, weighty,
powerful, silky, lively, incisive, eloquent, transcendental, supernatural, sensuous, calm, round, pure, muffled, dark, open,
sustaining, solemn, wafting, gentle, sweet, veiled.
The cello possesses a wide variety of differing tonal colors and means of expression, ranging from the calm and solemn in
the lower register to bursts of passion in the uppermost register. It is something of a split personality: on the one hand it
plays the part of the solid, reliable bass instrument; on the other hand it aspires to the passion of a heroic tenor.

The cello has a particularly good blend with all other instruments in the orchestra.
Its tasks range from performing the bass part to expansive melody lines in the tenor register. Cellos playing in octaves with
double basses is a “classic” combination.
Woodwinds provide the strings with more volume and power, while the strings make the woodwinds more mellow. Oboe and
bassoon accentuate the bright and clear properties of the cello’s sound, while the clarinet makes the cello sound more
mellow.
The blend with the brass instruments is strongly influenced by the playing technique employed by the strings (pizzicato, col
legno). The combination of cellos and horns played softly is particularly pleasing.

Description
The double bass is the contrabass instrument of the string section and, with its sloping shoulders and its string tuning to
fourths, is not strictly speaking a member of the violin family (violin, viola, cello).
The modern symphony orchestra usually uses 6 (in especially large orchestras 8) double basses.
Range and notation

The double bass has a range from B0–G4 (harmonic G6).
It is the only transposing stringed instrument. Because of its deep pitch, its notation is written an octave higher than it
sounds, in bass clef.
Heavy, weighty, dark, weightless, wafting, somber, earthy, resonant, rasping, broad, hollow, dull, mighty, menacing, violent,
mellow, sustaining, aspirate.
Like the tuba, the double bass lacks the high partials due to its great size, although the first six partials are especially
prominent which makes the timbre dark, broad and smooth.

The double bass, as the fundamental bass instrument, is capable of particularly good tonal combinations with all the other
instruments, especially with its smaller partner the cello and all harmony instruments as well. Its powerful sound must
provide a solid foundation which can support the sound structure and with which the other instruments blend. On the other
hand it is also capable of playing melody lines, solo lines which stand out.
The double bass blends well with the low woodwinds (bass clarinet and contrabassoon) and brass instruments (horn,
trombone, tuba).

AB switch: sus normal/sul. If set to B, this AB switch provides repetition notes played on the same string as the target note
of the preceding interval. For larger interval steps, selecting B after upward movements and A after downward movements
gives good results; however, the best way to use this AB switch is try out what sounds best from case to case.

VI PRO II Matrices and Presets
Introduction
Update Installation – DVD Collections
All new VI PRO 2 Presets and Matrices are installed by installing the Library Updates, available in your User Area
www.vsl.co.at/user.
Make sure that you have installed the latest version of Vienna Instruments PRO 2 and launch the Directory Manager.
WIN: “Start” button => “All programs” => “Vienna Instruments PRO”
OS X: “Applications” => “Vienna Instruments PRO”
Drag your downloaded Library Update .zip files on top of the sample content folder list in the Directory Manager; there is no
need to unpack them first. It is also possible to take more than one .zip, as they will be installed one after the other. You will
be guided through the update installation.
Attention: Please make sure to have all the Vienna Instruments Libraries you want to update loaded entirely in the
Directory Manager – this will save you a few mouseclicks.
General Information
All Vienna Instruments PRO 2 Presets and Matrices have been saved with their cells disabled. This way you can load them
quickly to analyze the various loaded Presets and Matrices.
If you activate “Force Enabled ON” in the Settings Menu, these Presets and Matrices will be loaded with enabled cells.
VI PRO II Matrices and Presets / Single Instrument Matrices
Single Instrument Matrices

There are special folders for Vienna Instruments PRO 2 in the Matrix list of all String and Wind Instruments:
“MATRIX – VI PRO 2”
These folders hold up to 17 new Matrices.

Matrices from 01–09 are “conventional” matrices, without the internal APP Sequencer activated.
Matrix 11 and higher contain sequence-based Matrices.
“01_basic” – The Allround Matrix

Available for all String and Wind Instruments.
A collection of the most essential articulations of the given instrument, with up to 40 different patches.
The Patches have been assembled from the Standard & Extended Library content of each Vienna Instruments Collection, but
of course these Matrices are also available if you only have a license for the Standard Library of your Collection. The
Patches that are not available will appear with a red background in the Matrix Cells and in the Slot Rack.
X-Axis Controller (horizontal): Keyswitches
For Bass to Soprano Instruments (lowest note C2): C1 upwards
For Contra Bass Instruments (lowest notes below C2): C6 upwards
Use these Keyswitches to change between main categories of Patches like short notes, sustains and Performance Intervals.
Y-Axis Controller (vertical): CC1 (ModWheel)
Use the ModWheel to access different variations of a main category, e.g., sustains: with and without vibrato, with
progressive vibrato.
Cell Configuration:
C Short Single Note samples (staccato, détaché, portato)

C# Sustains (with/without vibrato)
D Dynamic Single Notes (fortepiano, sforzando, sforzantissimo)
D# Performance Intervals (legato, trills, marcato, portamento)
E Performance Repetitions (legato, portato, staccato, spiccato, harsh)
F Fast Repetitions (in different tempos)
F# Tremolo, flutter tongue, recorded trills
G pizzicato, col legno (strings only)
G# Harmonics (strings only)
A Ponticello (strings only)
The configuration of individual Cells has been designed to be interchangeable throughout all instruments; e.g., a staccato
will always be found in the same Cell position, irrespective of whether you are using a string or a wind instrument. This
allows a quick change of instruments in your arrangement.
“02_leg-speed” (resp. “glissando-speed”) – Tweakable Intervals

Available for all String and Woodwind Instruments, as well as for Brass Instruments with Glissando/Portamento Patches.
The new Enveloped Stretching tools in Vienna Instruments PRO 2 allow you to control the transition length of Performance
Interval Patches in real-time.
Attention: Loading or “enabling” these matrices for the first time will cause some delay due to the necessary
rendering time.
For Contrabass Instruments (lowest notes below C2): C6 upwards
Use these Keyswitches to change between different Performance Interval Patches (legato, portamento, glissando).
Use the ModWheel to access different transition lengths for the Performance Interval Patches.
CC1 =1 Slow transitions

CC1 = 64 Regular transitions
CC1 = 127 Fast transitions
“03_runs-leg_major” – Major runs on Speed

Available for all String and Wind Instruments with originally recorded Run Patches (Solo Violin, Orchestral Strings, selected
Woodwinds, Trumpets)
Enveloped time-stretching lets you switch between different rendered speeds of the recorded runs in real-time.
The first cells of each matrix row show the tempo in BPM.
The originally played runs were performed as 32nd notes.
Use these Keyswitches to change between different scales from C major to B major.
Use the ModWheel to trigger different speed variations, up to 7 tempo variations.
CC1 = 1 Slowest
CC1 = 127 Fastest
Hint: For a more accurate selection of the intended playing speed it will make sense to change the Y-Axis
Controller to Keyswitches.
“04_runs-leg_minor” – Minor runs on Speed

Like Matrix “03_runs-leg_major”, but based on minor harmonic scales.
“05_runs-special” – Special Scale runs on Speed

Like Matrix “03_runs-leg_major”, but based on chromatic and whole-tone scales.
“11 repetitions” – Repetitions without restrictions

An APP Sequencer based Matrix with Host Tempo Sync activated by default.
X-Axis Controller (horizontal): Articulations/Patches are assigned in the APP Sequencer (Cell Tab)

The variations available in the Y-Axis are generally sequences assembled from one or 2 different articulations. For Strings,
these are spiccato and staccato Performance Repetitions. For Wind Instruments, these are portato and staccato
Performance Repetitions.
You can access up to 12 different pre-programmed patterns:
Slot 1 “16th” 16th notes based on one articulation.
Slot 2 “16 2mc” 16th notes based on two different articulations, accents are achieved by using the “longer”
articulation.

Slot 8 “trip mc” 8th triplets based on two different articulations, accents are achieved by using the “longer”
articulation.
Slot 9 “trip mc2” 8th triplets based on two different articulations, every quarter beat is accentuated by using the
“longer” articulation.
Slot 10 “trip up1” Triplet Upbeats
Slot 11 “Phrase A” Example 1 of a combination of different articulations.
Slot 12 “Phrase B” Example 2 of a combination of different articulations.
“12 repetition-Dyn” – Dynamite Dynamics

All four matrices are based on 2 bars of looped musical building blocks. These building blocks are designed as examples to
show the possibilities of the APP Sequencer.
Make use of the different musical structures of this pattern also with different lengths: half a bar, a whole bar or 2 bars.
Play range: C3–B5 (depending on the Instrument Group and played chord, some limitations in the highest play range will
apply)
Velocity 0–99: Major Scale
Velocity 100–127: Minor Harmonic Scale
X-Axis Controller: Articulations are assigned in the APP Sequencer (Cell Tab).
Y-Axis Controller: Keyswitches to choose between different chord inversions.
