Library manual for Clarinet 2

[fzd]

Hi, Before buying, I would like to consult the manual. Where is it possible to download it ? Thanks.

It would also be good to know to what extent the Sibelius SoundSet that will be produced for the Clarinet 2 will avail of the extended technique samples. If these articulations are accessible from within the SoundSet that would be wonderful. If not then perhaps only th standard library is necessary for me.

Also, any info on when this SoundSet will be available would be great.

Demos sound great btw!

Hello fzd and Juergen!

Here's a direct link for the Clarinet in Bb 2 manual.
http://eu.vsl.co.at/downloader.aspx?FileID=56322

Clarinet in Bb 2 VI presets for Sibelius are already included in the latest version of the VSL Soundset Installer (v.1.0.67). The following extended articulations are included in the VI preset for Sibelius: portato_medium, sus_Vibrato, sus_Vib-progressive, perf-legato_Vibrato, perf-trill, Slap. Other extended techniques can be triggered with help of the six free custom cells.

Best regards,
Andi

Thanks Andi,

Looks very interesting. Two questions:

1. If I only have the Woodwinds Non-extended package, what would the cost of the Clarinet 2 be? (I presume the 50% reduction on the basic pack plus the full cost of the upgrade? Or is there a special rate available in this context also?).

2. I note the Multiphonics included are not described in terms of fingering and appreciate the variance between performers when implementing these (as mentioned in your document). However it would nevertheless be useful to have the fingerings of those performed as a reference. I enquired about these some years ago to the IRCAM Solo Instruments people and they responded by producing a special document outlining the fingerings used during the recording. (see attached). Perhaps this could also be added in this instance?

Incidentally it would be great to be able to upload docx and pdfs in addition to the current available file types.

Thanks!

Hello Juergen!

1.) According to our records you have the Bassoon 2 and the Woodwinds 2 standard collection (amongst others). So in order to get the Clarinet in Bb 2 standard for half price, you would also have to complete the Woodwinds Bundle standard (with Woodwinds I standard and Special Woodwinds standard). All details about the introductory offer can be found here:
http://www.vsl.co.at/en/News/Special_Offer_2015-04

2.) We have recorded over 200 different Multiphonics based on the book "Muliphonics für Klarinette mit deutschem System" by Gerhard Krassnitzer. Please understand that we can't offer fingering charts to such an extent. If you happen to have this book, I can send you a detailed chart which specific multiphonic number from the book is mapped to which key though.

Best,
Andi

Hi Andi,

Thanks for that info. If i decide to purchase (which is likely) then having that chart would be really wonderful.

I presume I can buy the standard version at 50% and add the extended purcahse later without having to upgrade the entire library? (To be honest i have not too much need for the extended library in this particular instance as the standard fulfills all my needs).

Thanks again,

Hello Janco!

I can provide a list with multiphonic numbers mapped to patches/keys. These numbers will only make sense if you happen to have the book "Muliphonics für Klarinette mit deutschem System" by Gerhard Krassnitzer. If you have this book indeed, let me know and I will send you the list.

Best regards,
Andi

Hi Andi!

I've also bought this library specially for the multiphonics. I have a book with fingerings and I will discuss them directly with the performer. Would you be so kind in order to provide a chart with the notes/partials recorded?

Best regards!

Markus

[andi]

Hello Markus!

I have sent you the chart via mail. It will only be of any use, if you happen to have the book "Muliphonics für Klarinette mit deutschem System" by Gerhard Krassnitzer.

Best regards,
Andi

Hello Andi,

I also happen to have the Krassnitzer book, and am curious which of the multiphonics have been incorporated into the Clarinet 2 library.

Would you please send me a copy of the chart as well?

Thanks.
