In the Directory Manager you will have to add the folders, where your VSL content is located. 100 SpecialEdition sounds right.

With "VSL-SE" I guess you are talking about a Vienna Instruments player (VI). You should have the same presets/matrices/patches available in Vienna Ensemble (VE) and VI.

If you click on Instrument 1 in VE, you see a list of all found licenses on the left side. Does Special Edition appear there? If yes, and you still can't find any presets/matrices/patches, you will have to add the content to your Directory Manager.

That's odd. I haven't heard about such a problem yet. I suggest uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest version of Vienna Ensemble.

Great [:D]

Hello jjmus!

Here is what you can dow.

PC: To activate Vienna Ensemble in Finale go to MIDI/Audio/Device Setup/Manage VST Plug-ins and add the Plug-in directory, where your Vienna Ensemble.dll is located. Then in MIDI/Audio/Instrument Setup/VST Instruments choose Vienna Enemble. The Vienna Ensemble window, where you can load your instruments, will open automatically. Also make sure that in the MIDI/Audio menu "Play Finale through VST" is activated.

Mac: In MIDI/Audio/Instrument Setup/Audio Units Instruments choose Vienna Enemble. The Vienna Ensemble window, where you can load your instruments, will open automatically. Also make sure that in the MIDI/Audio menu "Play Finale through Audio Units" is activated.

If you haven't done so yet, I recommend downloading the Finale Human Playback Preferences and Percussion Maps at the following location:
http://vsl.co.at/en/68/141/460/1603/1290.htm

With the Human Playback Preferences file also comes a readme me file with infos how you can use Vienna Ensemble with Finale.

Best regards,
Andi

Hello Jill!

The dlls are probably located in the VSTPlugins folder of Sonar. If you can't find them, you could use the Windows search function. The file is called Vienna Ensemble.dll

Best,
