Introduction

IntroductionWe congratulate you on your decision to purchase this package of the Vienna Symphonic Library. You are now theowner of part of the most comprehensive Orchestral Sample Library that has ever been created.
In order to help you get started, this manual will assist you with the intricacies of getting the most out of these samples.The structure of the libraries, while not simple due to the sheer mass of voicings, styles, and performances, still hasbeen kept as clear as possible, is consistent from instrument to instrument, and in the final run will facilitate your workrather than make it more difficult. For example, you can easily swap a flute for a trumpet and immediately listen to theresult without having to fiddle around with MIDI controllers or sysex commands; the result will be as you intended withinthe instrument’s capabilities.
We have taken great care to record these samples. There may be different views on „purity“, but we don’t think that itmeans excluding all the reverb by recording in an anechoic studio as it tends to make an instrument sound flat, if notdead… Rather, we opted for recordings with a measured amount of ambience, so that an instrument may stand foritself without sounding uninspired, but still leave you the freedom to add your own ideas about space.
For now, we just hope that you are satisfied with the Vienna Symphonic Library, and that it will make your experiencewith composing on the computer much more enjoyable!

Getting started
Installing Vienna Symphonic LibraryCopy all or selected .gig files from the DVDs to a folder on your hard disk. Some of the files are larger than 1 GB, somake sure there is enough space on your disk. For a better overview, keeping the default directory structure of the DVDis recommended. The disk or folder must be selected in Giga’s “Quicksound – Advanced” settings.
Loading .gig filesGigaStudio/GigaSampler has its own display of active drives and directories. Here, you can access the Library files.Clicking on the “+” sign next to a filename will display the instruments it contains. You can make your selection bydouble-clicking on the instrument name (loads into the next free channel) or dragging it to the channel you want. Dueto the size of most of the Library’s .gig files you might run into computer memory trouble if some instruments arealready loaded and you try to load an entire file.

Description instrumentsIn every .gig file, there are a number of description instruments. These are written in capitals and do not contain any samples.They only serve for keeping a clear overview within a .gig file. If you load an entire file that contains BASIC INSTRUMENTS,this will be loaded into the channel, and you will not hear anything on that channel until you select another instrumentfrom Giga’s “Loaded Instruments” display. The description instruments are further explained below.
The Mapping List
The mapping list which makes the main part of this manual gives brief descriptions for every file and instrument in yourLibrary. Every instrument lists its bank and program number, mapping range, release time, Giga RAM requirements,and a brief general description. Basic instruments are listed with their number of velocity layers and ranges as well asthe number of samples they contain. Combinations also contain explanations concerning controllers.

Mapping and file structure
Groups and filenamesThe string files are subdivided into the groups listed below. The name of a file consists of the instrument name and, ifit’s an ensemble file, a dash and the number of players, followed by an understrike and the designation of the file.

Category and instrument names
The instruments contained in the files are named and sorted according to the following criteria:
For every main group, there are description instruments. These are written in capital letters and do not contain anysamples. They should only help you to quickly find the proper section.
Generally, one should only load sounds from the quicksound database, as one will hardly ever need the full number ofinstruments contained in a file, and some of the files really are quite large.
The description instruments are:

BASIC INSTRUMENTS
These contain all basic Giga instruments without combinations – no key switches, modwheels, release triggers, etc.
All combinations and variations in the following categories are based on the BASIC INSTRUMENTS.
BASIC DYNAMICS MEDIUM/STRONG, SPECIAL DYNAMICS
These are sections for medium and strong crescendos and diminuendos, and special dynamics (fortepiano, sforzato,sforzatissimo, crescendo-diminuendo). They belong to BASIC INSTRUMENTS, i.e. they do not contain any combinations.
RELEASE TRIGGER
These are applied in LONG NOTES, TREMOLOS, and TRILLS. Instruments marked with the extension “+RS” haverelease samples added which are triggered on releasing the key, thus providing a natural release instead of the quickfading typical for an envelope release.
COMBINATIONS
Combinations of different BASIC INSTRUMENTS via key switch and/or modulation switch.
Two-instrument combinations are marked with a “+” sign between the instrument names, combinations of more thantwo instruments may either be marked with “_all” or a designation for the range, e.g. “1’5-4s” for all the tone lengthsfrom 1.5 to 4 seconds.
Combined instruments with release triggers can also be found under this heading.
DYNAMIC LAYERS
Crossfade layering via modwheel.
The dynamic range and number of layers are shown at the end of the instrument name, e.g. “3Lay” for an instrumentwith three dynamic layers.
Example: Violin ensemble
SHORT NOTES
BASIC INSTRUMENTS
VI-14_stac-1 14 violins, staccato, 1st variation (up-bow)VI-14_stac-2 14 violins, staccato, 1st variation (down-bow)VI-14_0'3s-1 14 violins, détaché (staccato with a full bow for each note),

COMBINATIONS
stac_1+2 key switch (e.g. C1–C#1) enables switching between 1st and 2nd variation. With the help ofthe Alternate Tool, this feature can be automated.
0'3s_1+2 like stac_1+20'5s_1+2 like stac_1+2SN_all-1 switching between all 1st variations (stac, 0.3s, 0.5s) via key switch (e.g. C1–D1)SN_all-2 as above, with 2nd variations

LONG NOTES
BASIC INSTRUMENTS
VI-14_mV_sus 14 violins, sustained notes with vibrato, tone length: about 20 sec.VI-14_sV_ffespr_4s 14 violins, strong vibrato, espressivo ff, tone length: 4 sec.VI-14_mV_sus+ffespr ffespr as 4th velocity layer (this “combination” was included in BASIC INSTRUMENTS because
the ffespr is considerably shorter, and therefore unfit for a controller combination).VI-14_mV_0sus here, about 0.5–1.5 sec. of the attack were removed in order to enable legato play.
All other “0” instruments like 0sus
RELEASE TRIGGER

DYNAMICS
Principally, there are 3 degrees of dynamic change: light, medium, and strong.
cre1, dim1 light, e.g. p–mp, 3–4 velocity layerscre2, dim2 medium, e.g. pp–mf, 2 velocity layerscre3, dim3 strong, e.g. p–ff, 1 velocity layer
Example:VI-14_mV_cre2_2s 14 violins, with vibrato, medium crescendo,
tone length: 2sec. 2 velocity layers, e.g. p-mf, mf-ff.

ControllersIn the programming of the Vienna Symphonic Library, we consciously avoided controller functions that cannot behandled via keyboard. This means that we use only key switch and modwheel as controllers for instrument changes ordynamic layers; only for release control instruments, a sustain pedal was implemented. However, most keyboards andsequencer software allow you to substitute one controller with another, so that e.g. the pitchwheel input (or, like keyswitches, a couple of keys outside the normal tone range of instruments) could be redirected to the sustain pedalcontroller.
The system has been kept consistent throughout the library, so that similar instruments will have the same structure: acombination of crescendo and diminuendo instruments will always be controlled with the modwheel, while e.g.crescendos with different tone lengths will employ key switches.
The Vienna Symphonic Library website’s User Area will offer the complete articulation file structure for download. Notonly will the factory settings continuously improve; we also want to offer alternatives like e.g. artfiles optimized forbreath controllers, for live play etc.
Abbreviations
Instrument abbreviations always refer to the instrument’s German name. Other abbreviations like playing techniquesmostly are taken from the most common term, which normally will be Italian, and in some cases English or German.

The orchestra
There are several ways of setting up an orchestra, depending on the era of the piece played, the type of the piece andthe instruments it requires, and even on the conductor’s preferences. The figure below shows one of the more commonsetups, which can be taken as a guideline for the mixdown of a composition, when you position the instruments in thestereo field and add reverb according to the size of the concert hall you want your piece to be played in.

1 Violin Ensemble (14)
Description
The violin as the smallest of the stringed instruments is the soprano instrument of the violin family (violin, viola, cello).
Since the Baroque era the strings – the most homogenous of all instrument groups – have been the heart of theorchestra. Violins are always used in chorus and divided into 1st and 2nd violins. Modern string sections use 14 firstand 12 second violins (in especially large orchestras 16 first and 14 second violins).
Range and notation
The violin has a range of G3–A7 (harmonic D8).
It is a non-transposing instrument and notated in treble clef.
Sound characteristics
Full, lively, singing, eloquent, introspective, supernatural, sensuous, lustrous, bright, metallic, vibrant, clear, glassy,flute-like, shrill, brilliant, sparkling, calm, thin, whistling, round, pure, muffled, solemn, austere, dark, muted, open,sustaining, rough, wafting, soft, sweet, merry, dancing, veiled.
The 1st violins generally play the higher part, which is usually the main melody. The 2nd violins often play the part of“lower sisters”: they often play an octave below, darkening the overall timbre.
Combination with other instruments
All stringed instruments form a group with a homogeneous overall sound and perform tasks ranging from the subtlesttonal effects to the most eloquent reinforcements of sound and from the greatest possible tonal compactness to thegreatest possible diversity. The violins’ pizzicato blends well with the harp.
Woodwinds generally speaking provide the strings with more volume and power, while the strings make the woodwindsmore mellow, especially when playing in unison.
The tonal blend with brass instruments is not so good; the horn achieves the best blend of the brass section with theviolins, especially in combination with the cellos.
This folder contains a violin ensemble of 14 players. There are separate files for basic instruments(with a selection of instruments from the other files), short notes, long notes, dynamics, tremolo,trills, and pizzicato.

Description
The viola is the alto instrument of the violin family. It is constructed using the same components as the violin, the onlydifference being the larger size. Its stately and dark timbre contrasts sharply with that of the violin.
The modern symphony orchestra usually uses 10 (in large orchestras 12) violas.
Range and notation
The viola has a range from C3–A6 (harmonic E7).
The viola is a non-transposing instrument notated in alto clef, and in treble clef from the second octave above middleC. The viola’s range lies mainly between C3 and G5, that is, within the alto clef’s domain.
Sound characteristics
Dark, stately, reedy, warm, distinctive, full, lively, singing, eloquent, introspective, sensuous, round, muffled, solemn,austere, muted, rough, wafting, veiled, sonorous, powerful, robust.
The sound of the violas as a group achieves an austere charm which is used for melodic tasks at dramatic turningpoints, especially in the opera orchestra.
Combination with other instruments
The doubling of voices in the middle register is one of the viola’s customary roles as it is acting as an intermediarybetween the violins and the cellos.
Woodwinds provide the strings with more volume and power, while the strings make the woodwinds more mellow,especially when playing in unison. In high registers and played forte or fortissimo the viola is perfectly capable ofmatching the woodwinds for intensity and acerbity of sound, an effect that is intensified when the groups play incombination.
The combination of violas and the majority of the brass produces a relatively homogeneous sound.
This folder contains a viola ensemble of 10 players. There are separate files for basic instruments(with a selection of instruments from the other files), short notes, long notes, dynamics, tremolo,trills, and pizzicato.

3 Cello Ensemble (8)
Description
The cello is the tenor and bass instrument of the violin family.
In the 19th century the cello advanced along with the violin to become the most important bowed instrument for soloworks.
The modern symphony orchestra usually uses 8 (in large orchestras 10) cellos.
Range and notation
The cello has a range from C2–A5 (harmonic A7).
It is a non-transposing instrument notated mainly in bass clef. Because of its huge range tenor and treble clef are alsoused.

The cello possesses a wide variety of differing tone colors and means of expression, ranging from the calm and solemnin the lower register to bursts of passion in the uppermost register. It is something of a split personality: one the hand itplays the part of the solid, reliable bass instrument; on the other hand it aspires to the passion of a heroic tenor.
Combination with other instruments
The cello has a particularly good blend with all the other instruments in the orchestra.
Its tasks range from performing the bass part to expansive melody lines in the tenor register. Cellos playing in octaveswith double basses is a “classic” combination.
Woodwinds provide the strings with more volume and power, while the strings make the woodwinds more mellow.Oboe and bassoon accentuate the bright and clear properties of the cello’s sound, while the clarinet makes the cellosound more mellow.
The blend with the brass instruments is strongly influenced by the playing technique employed by the strings (pizzicato,col legno). The combination of cellos and horns played piano is particularly pleasing.
This folder contains a cello ensemble with 8 players. There are separate files for basic instruments,short, long, and medium notes, dynamics, tremolo, trills, and pizzicato.

4 Double Bass Ensemble (6)
Description
The double bass is the contrabass instrument of the string section and, with its sloping shoulders and its string tuning tofourths, is not strictly speaking a member of the violin family (violin, viola, cello).
The modern symphony orchestra usually uses 6 (in especially large orchestras 8) double basses.
Range and notation
The double bass has a range from B0–G4 (harmonic G6).
It is the only transposing stringed instrument. Because of its deep pitch, notation for it is written an octave higher than itsounds, in bass clef.
Sound characteristics
Heavy, weighty, dark, weightless, wafting, somber, earthy, resonant, rasping, broad, hollow, dull, mighty, menacing,violent, mellow, sustaining, aspirate.
Like the tuba, the double bass lacks the high partials due to its great size, although the first six partials are especiallyprominent which makes the timbre dark, broad and dull.
Combination with other instruments
The double bass, as the fundamental bass instrument, is capable of particularly good tonal combinations with all theother instruments, especially with its smaller partner the cello and all harmony instruments as well. Its powerful soundmust provide a solid foundation which can support the sound structure and with which the other instruments blend. Onthe other hand it is also capable of playing melody lines, solo lines which stand out.
The double bass blends well with the low woodwinds (bass clarinet and contrabassoon) and brass instruments (horn,trombone, tuba).
This folder contains a double bass ensemble of 6 players. There are separate files for basicinstruments, short notes, long notes, dynamics, tremolo, trills, and pizzicato.

5 Harp
Description
The harp, a stringed and plucked instrument, is one of the oldest and most widespread musical instruments known toman.
In modern orchestral and concert playing the double-action pedal harp has established itself, a model with 7 pedalsand 47 strings tuned diatonically in Cb major.
Range and notation
The harp has a range from Cb1–G#7.
As with the piano harp notation is written on two staves and is non-transposing. The lower staff is in bass clef, the upperin treble clef. If required by the register both staves can be in the same clef, either bass or treble.
Sound characteristics
Gentle, metallic, blurring, resonant, short, hard, drifting, full-sounding, rushing, clear, brilliant, glittering, flowing, dull,mellow, sharp, crystal clear, reverberating, splashing, cascading.
The full-sounding notes of the lower register resonate for a long time.
A brilliant and warm timbre is characteristic of the middle register. Notes resonate for one or two seconds. It is chiefly inthis register that chords, harmony, arpeggios, glissandos and melody lines are played.
The high register has bright, hard and penetrating notes that die away very quickly.
Combination with other instruments
The harp combines well with all orchestra groups.
It has the function of fleshing out the sound and is often treated as a filling-in instrument. The bottom strings are oftenused to play the bass voice. The weaving of delicate harmonic sound backdrops (arpeggio technique) is another of itsquintessential tasks. In addition, it is the various types of harp glissando that lend the undulations of the orchestra theshimmer of brilliance which is one of the most fundamental sound experiences of them all.
The harp achieves a good blend with the strings because they are related to each other as stringed instruments. Withthe woodwind, chords in unison with the harp are one of the key combinations.
This set contains a harp with different playing styles: normal, muted, harmonics, près-de-la-table,and bisbigliando.
