Celtic Wind Collection & Concert Guitar

[Chuck Green]

Herb & the Vienna Team:

Have you folks ever considered creating a Celtic Wind Collection? Instruments such as Highland Pipes, Low Whistle, Tin Whistle, Uilleann Pipes. Also consider including an Accordion and Concertina. If such library was available today I would buy it yesterday!

I know there are other Celtic libraries on the market but you and your team in my opinion, have to be the best in the business. The ease of use, playability, and the sonic quality combined with the enormous amounts of available articulations for each instrument in the libraries you currently market, place Vienna Instruments at the top of all available libraries today.

Also, do you have plans to market the full Vienna Concert Guitar (offered in the Horizon Series) in the Vienna Instrument Platform?

I would greatly appreciate your consideration......

A very pleased customer,

Chuck Green

Hi Chuck - in case you're not aware of it, Dirk Campbell's World Winds contains Highland Pipes, Low Whistle, Tin Whistle and Uilleann Pipes. (Not an Accordion or Concertina though).

All the Celtic instruments you mention are also included in East West's 'Ra' library. But you're right, VSL could no doubt do it more comprehensively as there tends to be a lack of articulations generally.

P.S. I'm sure the Concert Guitar will arrive eventually. They have the samples recorded and the VI technology to implement them, they just need the development time and to save up their pennies for the pressing and marketing. [[;)]]

VSL isn't about the articulations, dynamics, sound quality, or hell even instrument versatility.

It's about the PERFORMANCE LEGATO. That imo, is what we are paying for. I've heard other people say, "well you get this with (competitions library)" yeah but...ever library I've known other than VSL would call there samples having legato and they pass it off as crossfades to the next note, which in turn makes it "synthy"

VSL has surpassed that, and I've love to here irish instruments with performance legao. It would be tough, but doable.

Completely agree. I believe VSL's performance legato has no equivalent today. Getting this with celitc winds would be great.

Sorry, what I was trying to say is you can get all the dynamics, and articulations you want, but to me it doesn't say "VSL" without the performance legato.

Anthology Vol 1 - Celtic Wind is another one worth checking out - some very good articulations and playable stuff in there. Cheap too!

Couldn't agree more. The performance legato instruments are equally matched by all the great long and short articulations, dynamic patches, repitition patches etc., etc. If you consider that you can layer these within the VI player and or with midi tracks you realize the life that can be breathed into your music by the awesome VSL arsenal (of which perfleg is a sterling part.) Oh... and they sound pretty good too.
