At the 2011 NAMM Show, Vienna Symphonic Library announced Vienna Dimension Brass, a new sample library focusing on orchestral brass instruments.

Check out the demos in the promo video for a taste of the library’s sound quality.

Vienna Dimension Brass

Vienna Dimension Brass gives an entirely new meaning to the term multi-samples, according to VSL.

These instruments were recorded in a very unique way at Vienna’s Silent Stage. While every note was played by a well-rehearsed ensemble of four brass players, each instrument was recorded separately, which allows you to access each voice individually. Still, they sound like an ensemble and not like four soloists, whether playing in unison, divisi, or even in four-part harmony.

Vienna Dimension Brass comes with the free Vienna Instruments player. To make the most of these unique multi-dimensional samples, though, VSL recommends using Vienna Instruments PRO. Its auto-divisi mode automatically splits voices between players, and the tailor-made Humanize Presets let you control the performance accuracy of your virtual musicians in real-time, at the touch of a fader – from subtle tuning and timing variations to heavy cluster effects.

Vienna Dimension Brass is available at the introductory price $625 USD until February 15, 2011. The library will start shipping on January 17, 2011.
