Introducing MuseSounds + Vienna Symphonic Library

Introducing a Landmark Collaboration

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership that marks a major milestone for MuseScore Studio users: MuseSounds has joined forces with the world-renowned Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) to bring 10 new orchestral libraries to MuseHub.

A New Era of Orchestral Sound for MuseScore Studio

For composers and arrangers, this means unprecedented access to high-fidelity orchestral playback, all within the intuitive environment of notation software. These new MuseSounds libraries include:

Lush, expressive strings that swell, soar, and respond naturally to your score
Character-rich woodwinds that add nuance and clarity to melodic lines
Majestic brass with presence, power, and dynamic flexibility
Crisp, detailed percussion to drive rhythm and texture

These libraries are fully integrated into MuseScore Studio and have been optimized for seamless use. No complicated setup, routing, or third-party software required.

Why This Collaboration Matters

Realistic Orchestral Playback

VSL’s instruments are sampled with extraordinary precision, capturing every expressive detail from subtle vibrato to soaring dynamics. With these sounds powering MuseScore Studio, your compositions now play back with an authenticity previously reserved for professional DAW environments.

Effortless Setup and Use

Simply install the libraries from MuseHub, and you’re ready to go. MuseSounds does the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on creativity and composition.

Better Decision-Making While Writing

Accurate playback helps inform orchestration and voicing choices in real time, enhancing the creative workflow and improving your musical output.
