Les violons ont formé la plus grande section enregistrée dans le studio sur mesure « Silent Stage ». Les 14 violonistes ont été dirigés par Christian Eisenberger, dont les concerts internationaux ont permis une collaboration avec des artistes et chefs d’orchestre tels que Claudio Abbado, Martha Argerich, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Herbert von Karajan, Gidon Kremer, Kent Nagano, Roger Norrington, Murray Perahia, Andras Schiff, Georg Solti et bien d’autres. L’ensemble de 10 alti est dirigé par Anett Homoki, membre du « Vienna Chamber Philharmony » et également de l’ensemble « Volksoper Vienna ».
Les sections de cordes des Vienna Instruments offrent une variété extrêmement large d’articulations. Les caractéristiques uniques de ces instruments sont rendues possibles grâce à la multitude des « Performances » enregistrés. Avec de tels grands ensembles, les effets aléatoires d’articulations tels que les « Performance Trills » ou les « fast Legatos » sont particulièrement prononcés, conférant à ces « Patches » une authenticité remarquable en conjonction avec le nouvel algorithme des « Vienna Instruments ». Plus l’ensemble est large, plus les effets aléatoires sont intenses, c’est à dire, « l’inexactitude » naturelle obtenue par changement d’une note à l’autre par les musiciens. Cet effet est particulièrement présent avec les « Repetition Performance Pizzicatos » – une innovation uniquement disponible sur les grands ensembles de cordes et enregistrée dans deux différents tempos.
De nombreux utilisateurs nous ont fait part de leur souhait de pouvoir disposer d’échantillons supplémentaires, par rapport aux premières collections, comme par exemple les staccatos courts, les « expressive Interval Legatos », « espressivo con sordino », ainsi que l’extension des plages tonales pour les « sustains » (notes soutenues) et « staccatos » … Nous les avons écouté !
