VSL Vienna Instruments: Special Edition Vol. 3 - Appassionata & Muted Strings
Solo & Ensemble String Virtual Instruments
Apart from the lush and cinematic Appassionata Strings with a wide variety of playing techniques in normal and muted variations, the Special Edition Volume 3 ("Appassionata & Muted Strings") focuses on "con sordino" (muted) recordings of the Solo Strings and Chamber Strings.
Additionally, you'll find an alternative Harp to the one included in the Special Edition Volume 1.
If you've already purchased Special Edition Volume 1 or Volume 2 and want to expand it with especially lyrical, silky shimmering string sounds, this Volume is the perfect choice.
You can achieve particularly warm and lush string pads by combining "normal" strings with "con sordino" layers.
