    I have Vienna Special Edition and Vienna Special Edition Plus. In Matrix Assign, under Solo Strings, I see: 01S Solo violin 01S Solo violin + There are similar entries for Viola and Cello. Question: Can I assume these two are the same but that the + has more articulations? If so, I will ignore the one without the +. If, on the other, they are different samples, then I may use both to create a more diverse sound. Thanks.

    The articulations under the + are entirely different... they contain all the SE Plus articulations, but not the standard ones.  You will need to use both sets.

    Thanks. That's good news since it is always good to have more sounds.

    No, this is wrong! The + matrices of the SE contain ALL articulations of both the SE and the SE+, while the matrices without + only contain ALL the articulations of the SE alone. For example, the staccato from the Solo Violin matrix is the same staccato as in the Solo Violin + matrix.

    Sorry, my bad... when I read the post I accidently skipped over the word "matrix".
