Introduction


IntroductionWe thank you for purchasing this package of the Vienna Symphonic Library’s Horizon Series. You are now the owner of part

of the most comprehensive Orchestral Sample Library that has ever been created. The structure of the library has been

kept as intuitive as possible, and we have taken great care in recording these samples. There may be different views on

“purity”, but we don’t think that it means excluding all the reverb by recording in an anechoic studio, as this tends to make

an instrument sound flat, if not dead… Rather, we opted for recordings with a measured amount of ambience, so that an

instrument may stand on its own without sounding uninspired, but still leave you the freedom to add your own ideas aboutspace.

We hope that you are satisfied with this sample library, and that it will make your experience with digital composition and

production on the computer much more enjoyable!

RegistrationIf you want to download the Performance Tool and take advantage of all of the advanced features of this library, please

register at our web site!

To do so, go to www.vsl.co.at/user. If you are a registered user already, just enter your user name and password. If you

purchased your product in a music shop or from one of our international distributors, enter your e-mail address and the

password of your choice to register.

Once you’re logged in, you can register your product(s) by selecting the Product Registration menu. Enter the serial number

which is printed on the back sleeve of the DVD case. Then click on the Register button.

Support for further platforms in the form of sidegrades (as of this printing, Tascam GigaStudio and Emagic EXS24 mk II are

available) can be acquired in our online shop and will be registered upon purchase.

Getting started

TASCAM GigaStudio/GigaSampler

Installation

The files on the DVD are provided as self-extracting files. To extract a file’s contents, simply double-click on it and specify a

target folder on your hard disk where the extracted files should be copied to. To extract single files from a packed file, use

WinRar (included on DVD) to open the archives. Some of the files are larger than 1 GB, so make sure there is enough space

on your hard disk. For a better overview, keeping the default directory structure of the DVD is recommended. The disk or

folder where the .gig files are placed must be selected in Giga’s “Quicksound – Advanced” settings.

Loading .gig files

GigaStudio/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 by double-clicking on

the instrument name (loads into the next free channel) or dragging it to the channel you want. Due to the size of many ofthe.gig files you might run into computer memory trouble if some instruments are already loaded and you try to load an

entire file instead of single patches.

Description instruments

In every .gig file, there are a number of description instruments. These are written in capitals and do not contain any samples.

They only serve to identify the contents of a given .gig file more clearly. If you load an entire file that contains BASIC

INSTRUMENTS, for example, this description instrument will be loaded into the channel, and you will not hear anything until

you select a real instrument from Giga’s “Loaded Instruments” display. The description instruments are further explained

below.



Getting started


Emagic EXS24 mk II

Installation

The files on the DVD are packed as self-extracting files for a PC. To extract them onto a PC, simply double-click on a file and

specify the target folder; or use WinRar (included on every DVD) to extract single files. To extract them on the Mac, use

StuffIt Expander v7.0.3 or higher. Drag the files onto the tool’s icon and specify the target folder. OS X users can also use

UnRarX v2.0 (included on DVD) for speedier extraction.

Extract the content of the “Sampler Instruments” folder on the DVD to the “Sampler Instruments” folder in the Logic Audiodirectory. The instruments will appear automatically in the EXS24 instrument display the next time you launch Logic Audio.

Important for Mac users: Do NOT create any further subdirectories. Mac OS/EXS24 allows a maximum of 5 directory levels,

which are already taken up by the file structure of the Vienna Symphonic Library. The creation of further subdirectories will

result in their instruments not appearing in the EXS24 display.

The “VSL Samples” folder, which contains the .wav files, can be extracted to one or more sufficiently fast hard drives.

The more hard drives that are attached to the system, the longer the loading time for single instruments will become.

Therefore, we recommend unmounting any hard drive that is not in use. Note for Mac users: PC-Exchange formatted hard

drives will multiply the loading time by a factor of 10 to 15.

Basic folder structure

The Vienna Symphonic Library is structured hierarchically throughout. This means that within the “VSL Samples” there is amain folder for the library data. This directory contains subdirectories for instruments or instrument groups – in this case,

“EPIC HORNS”. This directory again contains subgroups, e.g., “01 HO-8_SINGLE-NOTES”. Within these, you will find patch

category folders, which contain the actual instruments. These folders are described under Category and instrument

names below.

The Mapping List

The mapping list gives descriptions of the contents of your library. Each instrument listing contains details on bank number,

program number (for GigaStudio), mapping range, and other relevant data.

Similar instruments that differ only in speed or tone length and have consecutive program numbers will be comprised in one

description with the name changes in brackets. If the instrument mapping differs from that of a normal chromatic

instrument, the keyboard layout will be shown in an illustration. Combinations also contain keyswitch information.

Differences between GigaStudio/GigaSampler and EXS24

Due to the differences between TASCAM GigaStudio and Emagic EXS24 mk II, some instruments may not be available in

one or the other. EXS24 does not support release control, but allows more dimensions, so that “_all” instruments for EXS24

will sometimes contain more patches. Where such instruments dedicated to only one of the platforms appear, the entries

will be marked separately with either “Giga” or “EXS”.

Bank and Program numbers do not apply to EXS instruments because of the different structure of the EXS database.

The mapping range of EXS instruments generally is an octave lower than indicated, due to EXS’ Middle C assignment. The

mapping list gives the ranges for GigaStudio/GigaSampler; for EXS, one simply has to transpose these down by one octave.

RAM requirements for EXS instruments cannot be determined as easily as in GigaStudio; but basically, one can assume

that an EXS instrument will not require more RAM than its Giga counterpart does.

Category and instrument names

TASCAM GigaStudio/GigaSampler

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 any

samples. They should only help you to quickly find the proper section.

Generally, you should only load patches from the quicksound database, as you will rarely need the full number of

instruments contained in a file, and as some of the files are quite large.

Emagic EXS24 mk II

The instrument folders contain descriptive subdirectories according to the type of patches they contain. These are intended

to help you get your bearings within the library structure, so that you can easily find what you need. Within these directories,

the naming and numbering of instruments is identical with the GigaStudio version.

Description instruments / folders

BASIC INSTRUMENTS

These contain all basic 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 COMBINATIONS

In Performance sets, this heading replaces “basic instruments” since the instruments contained are already combined.

Combinations and variations in the following categories are based on BASIC COMBINATIONS.



Controllers


RELEASE CONTROL

These allow control of the instrument’s release with the modwheel. Please note: release control instruments are only

available in GigaStudio/GigaSampler.

RELEASE TRIGGER

Instruments marked with the extension “+RS” have release samples added which are triggered upon releasing the key, thus

providing a natural release instead of the quick fade typical of an envelope release.

COMBINATIONS

Combinations of different BASIC INSTRUMENTS selected via key switch and/or modulation switch.

Two-instrument combinations are marked with a “+” sign between the instrument names. Combinations of more than two

instruments are named according to the instruments at either extreme, e.g., “stac-sus” will indicate a range of articulations

from staccato on one end to sustained on the other.

Combined instruments with release triggers can also be found under this heading.

“+ts" instruments are available only for EXS 24. These patches are equipped with a preconfigured Alternation toolset.

MODWHEEL BLEND

Velocity layers in this section are arranged so that the dynamic strength of the instrument can be changed with the

modulation wheel. The switches have an overlapping area where the tones of two layers blend.

VELOCITY BLEND

Velocity layers in this section are arranged so that the dynamic strengths of the instruments blend gradually into each other

depending on the strength of the keystroke.

KEYSWITCH VELOCITY

Velocity layers in this section are arranged so that the dynamic strength can be changed with key switches, thus allowing

you to play, e.g., only piano or forte samples.

FILTER CONTROL

Patches with “+filter” in their name are equipped with a low pass filter. Typically, the filter is used for sustained forte

instruments, where the high frequencies of the sounds can be attenuated with the modwheel.

ControllersIn the programming of the Horizon Series, we consciously avoided controller functions that cannot be handled via the

keyboard. This means that we used only key switches and the modwheel as controllers for instrument changes or dynamic

layers. Our Midi tools will perform a lot of the functions you would otherwise have to implement by hand.

The Vienna Symphonic Library website’s User Area will offer the complete articulation file structure for download. Not only

will the factory settings continuously improve; we also want to offer alternatives like .art files optimized for breath

controllers, for live performance, and so on.

Key switches

Key switches are used in instrument combinations to switch from one instrument to another. Actually, this is the simplest

kind of controlling as you don’t even need a modulation wheel on your keyboard. The switching keys are mapped outside the

playing range of the instrument so that they won’t interfere with the music you play. To switch to the desired instrument,

simply press the corresponding key on the keyboard.

Modwheel

The modulation wheel can be used for a variety of purposes. It is a continuous controller, able to send values from 0 to

127, and thus can be used for switching as well as for gradual blending between two instruments.



Abbreviations


In combinations, key switches and modwheel are often employed simultaneously, e.g., for crescendo/diminuendo with

various tone lengths, where the dynamics are controlled by the modwheel and the tone length by key switch.

Abbreviations

Instrument abbreviations always refer to the instrument’s German name. Other abbreviations like playing techniques are taken mostly from

the most common term, which normally will be Italian, and in some cases English or German. Here is a list of the abbreviations used in

this set:

PitchFor designating pitch, the Vienna Symphonic Library uses International Pitch Notation (IPN), which was agreed upon

internationally under the auspices of the Acoustical Society of America. In this system the international standard of

A=440 Hz is called A4 and middle C is C4. All pitches are written as capital letters, their respective octave being indicatedby a number next to it. The lowest C on the piano is C1 (the A below that is A0), etc.



Epic Horns

Mappings


Epic Horns

MappingsDescription

The French horn in F/Bb is a brass wind instrument with a funnel-shaped mouthpiece.

In the 19th century it became the most important wind instrument in the Romantic orchestra. The brass section of the

modern orchestra usually uses four horns, especially large sections may even have six or eight horns.

Range and notation

The horn in F/Bb has a range from B1–F5.

It is notated in F; in bass clef and treble clef it is written a fifth higher than it sounds.

Sound characteristics

Full, warm, velvety, clear, bright, intense, heroic, distant, mellow, metallic, powerful, expressive, resounding, sonorous.

Low notes are most effective played piano , when forced they take on a slightly rough tone. Ideal for the performance of

thematic tasks.

The notes in the middle register sound mellow, full and resounding.

The high notes are soft as velvet, bright and very intense, brilliant. This characteristic horn sound develops best around C5.

Combination with other instruments

The horn blends with all the instrument groups in the orchestra better than any other instrument.

Played together with other brass instruments the horn loses its mellow euphony, for cup and funnel-shaped mouthpieces

mutually cancel out their characteristic sounds.

Of the woodwinds, the clarinet and bassoon blend very well with the horn.

Strings combined with horns blend into a homogeneous overall sound.

This horn ensemble consists of 8 players, making for an exceedingly rich sound.

The instruments used in this ensemble are double horns in F/Bb.
