VSL Contra Bassoon VSL

VSL Contra Bassoon

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 contrabassoon, also known as the double bassoon, is the contrabass instrument in the woodwind section and, together with the contrabass tuba, the deepest instrument in the orchestra. Its deep and dark timbre has provided the foundation in works scored for large orchestras since the first half of the 19th century, like in Richard Strauss’ famous opus “Also sprach Zarathustra”, where it joins the organ in the beginning to create a low-frequency “drone”.

The Standard Library of the Download Instrument contains all of the Contra bassoon samples of the Vienna Special Edition Volume 1 and of the Special Edition Volume 1 PLUS as well as some additional articulations. The Full Library offers the complete articulations on par with the ones of the big Collection Woodwinds II Extended Library. Please find a detailed list of included playing techniques under the menu item Sample Content.

Vienna Instruments require the ViennaKey!
This USB protection device by eLicenser (by Steinberg, formerly Syncrosoft) is not included in the box of any collection, it is a separate item you have to get additionally. So you’ll have to order at least one ViennaKey with your first purchase. It will be put inside the shopping basket automatically but can be deleted if not required. Customers who order the complete SYMPHONIC CUBE will get one ViennaKey for free (not shown in the basket). If you already own another eLicenser USB protection device (e.g., from Steinberg or Arturia), you can use it for the VIENNA INSTRUMENTS, too. Each dongle can store up to 100 product licenses.
Additionally an internet connection on any computer is required to authorize a VSL product.
