VSL Clarinet (Bb) 2

VSL Clarinet (Bb) 2

The Standard Library of the Single Instruments offers slightly more articulations than the instrument in the Vienna Special Editions. But in the Full Library download the Single Instruments become full-fledged Vienna Instruments, offering the complete articulations on par with the ones of the big Vienna Instruments Collections.

The clarinet was integrated into the symphony orchestra during the Viennese Classic period in the second half of the 18th century. Today the instrument is commonly used as a solo instrument as well as in chamber music, concert bands, military bands and marching bands in almost all styles, ranging from classical repertoire to folk music, to klezmer and jazz.

If you have already purchased Clarinet in Bb (included in Woodwinds I Collection) that features the more “classical” playing style, this German-system instrument is the perfect addition. VSL has not only recorded many vibrato articulations but also bends and falls that are triggered as release samples for utmost realism. Whats more, a unique highlight is the extensive set of almost 300 looped “multiphonic sounds”, both with two and multiple voices, opening an entirely new field for creating progressive and experimental soundscapes. These recordings were based on the book “Multiphonics” by Gerhard Krassnitzer and the patch names within the Vienna Instruments / Vienna Instruments PRO player correspond with the respective sound numbers described in this book.

Your purchase of the Clarinet (Bb) 2 entitles you to download the free  Vienna Instruments player software that includes the Vienna Ensemble mixing and host software.

Vienna Instruments require the ViennaKey!

Customers who order the complete SYMPHONIC CUBE will get one ViennaKey for free (not shown in the basket).
