Installation
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 4
Manager.
WIN: “Start” button => “All programs” => “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 you want to update loaded 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.
“MATRIX – VI PRO 2”
Matrices from 01–09 are “conventional” matrices, without the internal APP Sequencer activated.
A collection of the most essential articulations of the given instrument, with up to 26 different patches.
The Patches have been assembled from the Full Library content of each Vienna Instrument.
Use these Keyswitches to change between main categories of Patches like short notes, sustains and
Performance Intervals.
Use the ModWheel to access different variations of a main category, e.g., sustains: with and without
vibrato.
Cell Configuration:
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
woodwind or a brass instrument. This allows a quick change of instruments in your arrangement.
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.
Use these Keyswitches to change between different Performance Interval Patches (legato, glissando).
Use the ModWheel to access different transition lengths for the Performance Interval Patches.
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.
Use these Keyswitches to change between different scales from C major to B major.
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.
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)
8
Y-Axis Controller (vertical): Keyswitches
The variations available in the Y-Axis are generally sequences assembled from one or 2 different
articulations. For Wind Instruments, these are portato and staccato Performance Repetitions.
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 available patterns are based on Performance Repetition Patches. The different volumes of the
contained notes are as originally recorded and are NOT triggered by MIDI velocity.
There are up to 9 different volume levels available for every recorded dynamic repetition pattern.
The available variations are different successions of crescendo and diminuendo repetition patters in 16th
notes.
Slot 1 “cre-dim” Sequence of eight 16th notes from pp–ff, followed by eight 16th notes
from ff–pp
Slot 2 “dim-cre” Sequence of eight 16th notes from ff–pp, followed by eight 16th notes
from pp–ff 9
Slot 3 “cr-di sh” Sequence of four 16th notes from pp–ff, followed by 4 16th notes from ff–pp
Slot 4 “di-cr sh” Sequence of four 16th notes from ff–pp, followed by four 16th notes
from pp–ff
Slot 5 “cre step” A series of 4 sequences, each with 4 16th notes, starting with pp. Every
following sequence starts at the next higher volume from the preceding one.
Slot 6 “dim step” A series of 4 sequences, each with 4 16th notes, starting with ff. Every
following sequence starts with the next lower volume from the preceding one.
Slot 7 “accent A” A series of 4 sequences, each with 4 16th notes, with an accentuation on the
quarter beat and crescendos towards the accentuated notes.
Slot 8 “accent B” A series of 4 sequence parts, each with 4 16th notes, with an accentuation on
the quarter beat and strong cresendos towards the accentuated notes.
Slot 9 “Phrase A” Example 1 of a combination of different articulations.
Slot 10 “Phrase B” Example 2 of a combination of different articulations.
Slot 11 “Phrase C” Example 3 of a combination of different articulations.
Slot 12 “Phrase D” Example 4 of a combination of different articulations.
An APP Sequencer based Matrix with Host Tempo Sync activated by default.
Attention: If this Matrix is loaded into an empty preset on its own, the “Scale Select Range”
and “Velocity Switch” functions in the APP sequencer (Scale Tab) must be activated.
X-Axis Controller (horizontal): Articulations/Patches are assigned in the APP Sequencer (Cell Tab).
The major part of the patches used is based on Performance Fast Legatos.
The available variations in the Y-Axis consist of upwards and downwards runs and phrases in different
lengths.

Slot 2 “Oct do” Diatonic run downwards, 1 octave
Slot 3 “Oct ac-u” Diatonic run upwards, 1 octave, with a slight accelerando

Slot 11 “Phr B up” Progressive “mordent phrase” upwards (step by step), 1 octave.
Slot 12 “Phr B do” Progressive “mordent phrase” downwards (step by step), 1 octave.
Attention: “Ext” Matrices are only available for Instruments that contain Marcato Performance
Patches.
An APP Sequencer based Matrix with Host Tempo Sync NOT activated by default. Trill speed can be set
directly in the APP sequencer’s “Sequence” tab.
Attention: If this Matrix is loaded into an empty preset on its own, the “Scale Select Range”
and “Velocity Switch” functions in the APP sequencer (Scale Tab) must be activated.
X-Axis Controller (horizontal): Articulations/Patches are assigned in the APP Sequencer (Cell Tab).
The major part of the Patches used is based on Performance Trill Patches.
The available variations in the Y-Axis consist of trills in different speeds, accelerating or decelerating, plus
a variety of mordents and inverted mordents (“Pralltriller”).
Use Keyswitches to switch between matrices. Alternatively, you can also use Program Changes or MIDI
Control Changes.
