Key Features
The Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition Vol. 1 Essential Orchestra is a complete orchestral library for composers, producers, and media creators building realistic arrangements. Featuring over 50 orchestral instruments and ensembles, it covers strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, harp, celesta, and grand pianos, giving you the core sounds needed for a wide range of scoring projects.
An expanded articulation set, including legato, portamento, trills, fast repetitions, and portato, provides greater expression when writing detailed performances. Recorded in the controlled environment of the Silent Stage, the samples can be placed naturally into virtually any mix, while Synchron Stage Vienna mixer presets provide authentic orchestral positioning straight away. If you prefer to build your own acoustic space, you can simply disable the built-in reverb and integrate the instruments into your chosen virtual environment.

The Vienna Synchron Player incorporates a specifically designed convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro 3D, featuring the outstanding ambience of the 5,813 square ft main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna. The perfectly engineered reverberation and placement presets combine customized impulse responses with expertly crafted reverb settings for each instrument or ensemble. By adding the ambience of Synchron Stage Vienna’s Stage A to the relatively dry samples in real-time, the Studio Special Editions perfectly blend with any other product of our Synchron Series, resulting in a production-ready sound “out of the box”. By turning off the internal convolution reverb you can place all instruments and ensembles anywhere in the stereo field and in any acoustic environment, from dry rooms to stages and halls.
Special Edition Vol. 1 Essential Orchestra includes two preset systems to match different ways of working. Flow Presets present instruments, articulations, and key sound controls within a single, intuitive interface, making it easy to switch between playing styles while composing. Precision Presets provide more detailed control, allowing you to fine-tune performance and playback parameters as your project develops. Whether you're sketching ideas quickly or refining an orchestral mock-up, you can choose the workflow that best suits your session without changing libraries.
With more than 50 instruments and ensembles, this collection provides the essential building blocks for orchestral composition. It includes solo violins, solo cellos, orchestral strings, brass soloists and sections, a full woodwind range from piccolo to contrabassoon, harp, timpani, percussion, celesta, and two grand pianos.
The expanded articulation collection helps performances sound more convincing and responsive. Alongside sustained notes, staccato, pizzicato, tremolo, legato, and portamento, the library also adds articulations previously available in the PLUS edition, including short détaché, portato, fp, trills, and fast repetitions. These playing styles make it easier to shape phrasing, dynamics, and realistic instrumental movement without relying on excessive MIDI editing.
