Seemless integration of the VSL into Studio One

Taking advantage of Studio One’s powerful Sound Variations feature, the Articulate Variations give you access to the entire VSL directly in Studio One's editors. You can assign playing techniques to notes via clear names from the Sound Variation list, switch and record the most important playing techniques during the performance from an external keyboard and access even specific versions directly while editing, without the need for additional Midi events. And the unique Control Variations allow you to conveniently change general aspects of the sound, like the size of the instrument section.

ARTICULATE VARIATIONS

  • access to all articulations in the VSL via clear and convenient Sound Variations

  • 300 individual definitions

  • 13 thematic folders

  • they work universally with all chromatic instruments supported by Articulate Presets

  • support for both VST 2 & 3 via program changes messages
    and controllers

CLEAR STRUCTURE

Like the Articulate Presets, the Articulate Variations are sorted into banks contained in different folders for a convenient access of the many sound variations. The different groups are even color-coded (basic articulations in blue, performance interval in red, ...) for an instant overview in Studio One's editors.

KEY SWITCHES

The Studio One Articulate Variations allow you to  select the most used playing techniques (sustained, portato/detache, staccato, legato, ...)  

conveniently by one octave of key-switches on an external keyboard.

The switches follow Art Conductor's 

universal layout, that is compatible with nearly every orchestral library on the market.

FULL COMPATIBILITY

The first 128 Sound Variation give you access to all Articulate Presets matrices and therefore the entire VSL. 

Due to the universality of both Articulate Presets and the Articulate Variations you can move them from one instrument to another and they work correctly.

DIRECT ACCES

The extensive Direct Access bank offers 128 additional Sound Variations that allow you to directly access particular versions of recorded articulations in the VSL, e.g. a 2s strong crescendo or a major third trill. These follow exactly the same layout as the Logic implementation.

CONTROL VARIATIONS

The unique Control Variations adjust certain aspects of the sound like the section size, the attack or the vibrato conveniently via clear text. Powered 

by Articulate Preset's powerful 3D-control this works with various playing techniques, and allows you e.g. to realize divisi in a very convenient way when using VSL Dimension libraries.

A new level
of variation

The ​Studio One Articulate Variations give you access to the entire content of the vast VSL libraries right at your fingertips - without the need for explicit MIDI events. Yet, by selecting a Sound Variation up to 5 Midi events are automatically and implicitly sent to Vienna Instruments Pro and select the corresponding sound.

Finding and assigning them is easy since they are clearly named, logically sorted and even color-coded for a clear overview.

The extensive Direct Access Variations simplify things even more and directly select particular versions of special articulations, while the Control Variations allow you to realize divisi, select individual Dimension groups, desk or players, control the vibrato, muting and other sound aspects controlled by Articulate Presets powerful 3D control. .
