Marimbaphone Upgrade to Full Library Software Download

The Vienna Symphonic Library Marimbaphone software download upgrade gives you access to the entire suite of marimbaphone samples. The marimbaphone (or just “marimba”) consists of wooden bars of various lengths which are arranged according to their pitch in scales, very similarly to the keys of a piano. Compared to the xylophone, the marimbaphone is larger, with a key range of five octaves (from bass to alto), and its wood bars are thinner and softer, resulting in a warm and pleasing sound. Since the 1950s, it has become a standard instrument in contemporary music. The instrument samples were played not only with various mallets (very soft, medium soft, hard, extra hard) but also with handles, fingers, fingernails, a superball and a string bow.

The flexibility, authenticity, musicality and sound quality of samples are just a few reasons why Oscar- and Emmy-winning composers, Grammy-winning artists and music producers all over the globe, including hobbyists and music educators, rely on Vienna Instruments. Every collection comes with both the Vienna Instruments player and Vienna Ensemble.
