VSL Vienna Instruments Symphonic Cube 1.1 (Mac/Win)

[xumeng12]

At the 2002 AES Convention, a new company called Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) announced that it would soon release the largest, most versatile, and most realistic orchestral sample library ever attempted. With private funding and a seemingly unlimited budget, VSL had custom-built a state-of-the-art studio and recorded thousands of hours of samples played by world-class musicians from ensembles such as the Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestras. Led by visionary Herb Tucmandl, VSL had begun editing, processing, programming, and assembling those samples into a massive collection of unprecedented proportions. A few months later, VSL shipped the First Edition of the Complete Orchestral Package, followed by the Pro Edition in 2003 and many volumes in the Horizon Series in 2004. All of them supplied detailed 16-bit sample libraries for popular software samplers, and all but the First Edition are still available. In 2006, VSL began shipping all ten volumes in its gargantuan 24-bit Vienna Instruments library, known collectively as Symphonic Cube. Vienna Instruments is more than a sample library, however; it's also the name of the software instrument that serves as its graphical user interface.

Hi xumeng12

Thanks for the history of VSL. As a man of the first days I'm part of it, so to say. I played all the libraries...

But what was the reason of your post?

 Hmm... I seem to remember a certain post about geography on another thread that had this same interchange.  Or did I dream that?
