VSO ExpansionPack
Additional Instruments for Vienna Smart Orchestra
The VSO ExpansionPack adds a variety of instruments to the “Solo” category of the Vienna Smart Orchestra. The instruments are available separately to be played as lead instruments, either in “Pad + Solo” mode for adding melodies with your right hand to ensemble accompaniments played with your left hand, or in “Full Range Mode” to play solos using the entire ranges the instruments naturally provide.
Legatos: Single Notes:
Viola Ensemble Harp
Cello Ensemble Celesta
Piccolo Timpani
English horn
Bass clarinet
Bassoon
Instantiating the expanded Vienna Smart Orchestra on several tracks, you can even create complex polyphonic string arrangements. Enrich your compositions by adding lyrical woodwind solos in several new colors or create a variety of combinations, e.g., clarinet + bassoon, or flute + piccolo in unison or octaves.
As with the string and wind instruments, the harp and the celesta can be used in combination with the accompanying orchestra or as individual instruments with their full range of six octaves, and four and a half octaves, respectively. The timpani provide a high level of detail with eight velocity layers from ppp to fff and four variants per note and velocity layer.
