    Hi,

    I recently bought Jazz Drums. I'm new to the VSL eco system in general.

    Downloaded and installed Jazz Drums via Vienna Assistant. This is a VI instrument, but I'm not sure which player to use: is it the Vienna Instruments Pro for VI, not to be confused with the other one called Vienna Instruments Pro? Slightly confused as to what the difference is here?

    Thanks!

    Hi Christer, 

    VI Pro is the new standard for all iLok VI Series. 

    The VI Pro Compatibility software simply makes sure that the conversion of "classic" VI instances in older eLicenser projects go well. 

    You need VI Pro with the Jazz Drums. 

    Best, 
    Paul

    Ok. Regarding the purpose of the Compatibility version, may I suggest that you add this in the description? I believe the description text is the same for both version at the moment (and link to the same product page).

    For someone new to the eco system such as myself (and I actually have a friend who might be diving in as well), it would be good to be able to which version that safely can be ignored.
