Introduction
© 2003 Vienna Symphonic Library GmbH p 5/46
IntroductionWe congratulate you on your decision to purchase 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.
We have taken great care to record 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 about space.
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 thepassword 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 or 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.
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.

Emagic EXS24 mk II
Installation
The files on the DVD are packed as self-extracting files for PC. To extract them on 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 v6.0 or higher. Drag the files onto the StuffIt Expander icon and specify the target folder.
Extract the content of the “Sampler Instruments” folder on the DVD to the “Sampler Instruments” folder in the Logic Audio
directory. 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 a
main folder for the Solo Strings data. This directory contains subdirectories for instruments or instrument groups, e.g.,“1 SOLO VIOLIN”. These directories again contain subgroups, e.g., “01 VI_SHORT-NOTES”. Within these, you will find patch
category folders, which contain the instruments proper. These folders are described under Category and instrument
names below.
The Mapping List
The mapping list gives descriptions of the contents of your library. In the abridged manual, every instrument’s bank number,
program number (for GigaStudio), and mapping range are listed. The full manual also contains information concerning Giga
RAM usage, sample counts, and brief descriptions of every patch.
Similar instruments that e.g. 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 key switch 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.

First Keyswitch DelayPerformance Repetitions are managed by the Vienna Symphonic Library’s Performance Tool in Repetition Mode. In the tool’s
Settings dialog, you will find an entry marked “First Keyswitch Delay”. The performance repetition instruments need different
First Keyswitch Delay settings in order to operate smoothly. To save you having to look up these settings in the Mapping
list, here’s a listing of them for every repetition instrument.

Pitch
© 2003 Vienna Symphonic Library GmbH p 10/46
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 indicated
by a number next to it. The lowest C on the piano is C1 (the A below that is A0), etc.
