Hi everybody, 

Our Synchron Pianos player is now available as Silicon Native version. 

Check your Vienna Assistant to download it. We're looking forward to your feedback!

Best, 
Paul

Very disappointing to hear that ports of VI Pro and Imperial are not planned. VI Pro is the best :(

Any news on Apple Silicon? Still checking this forum every morning.

Hi everybody,

A new update of MIR Pro 3D was just released, with great performance improvements for everyone and of course it's now also Apple Silicon ready!

Best,
Paul

Now can we get a stable VEP version please?? The last versions have been a mess. Forget about native, just a version that doesn't crash while loading.  The bare minimum.

Charming!

We're on it!

Best, 
Paul

Thank you for the updates Paul.

VEP is currently the only vital piece of my workflow not currently AAX Native, can't wait to see the performance boost in PT as I've been seeing it on all other VIs in the Avid Beta side.

Keep us posted please.

Take care

Marcello

Great work! Thanks Paul. The VSL team is really on a roll. VE7Pro next.

All the best

Been checking this thread every morning. VE Pro AS version can't come soon enough!

I am also checking this forum every morning. Really need AS version of VEP 7 Pro

Paul - is there any way you can give us a rough idea of when we might see just the VST/AU/MAS plugin for VEPro?  Are we days away?  Weeks?  Months?  Longer?  

I am moving toward a much more expensive hardware alternative and this decision hinges on whether VEPro's silicon-compatible release is close enough to be worth waiting for or not.  

I already have hardware audio I/O in place.  Next step is replacing network midi. Other options for network midi are a bit hit or miss in terms of stability and reliability, leaving VEPro as about the only option that has been both cost effective and reliable for networked midi and audio. 

There are a lot of composers with 2 - year old Mac M1s either gather dust or holding back on other upgrades.

All we need is the DAW plugin.  The server can wait.  In fact, I probably won't ever need an Apple silicon-compatible version of the server (RAM is way cheaper for PCs than new Macs, making PCs the easy choice for sample-servers).  

Hi, 

We are all waiting for the next great beta version from our development team, they're ironing out a few bugs with VE Pro.
So I'm PERSONALLY calculating with the next weeks, but I have been wrong before, and this is unfortunately not an official announcement. 

Best, 
Paul

Thank you Paul!  This update is greatly appreciated, and duly noted that it is just your personal guess, with no guarantees.

What I worry about is the MAS version making it to Apple Silicon. Digital Performer gets ignored a lot these days, and the MAS version is so much better than the AU version in DP it's night and day. I don't have much trust in the VST3 format, 15 years later and it's still buggy here and there. 

I have a Kludge version of VEP running in Pro Tools Silicon hosting audio effects on a remote PC server.

For some reason, the latest version of Blue Cat Patchwork loads some intel-only plugins (in AU format only) when running in Silicon.

I have Vienna Ensemble Pro.component and Vienna Ensemble Pro Audio Input loaded in Pro Tools 23.3.0.89, hosted in Patchwork, and running in Silicon.

I use VEP for hosting large Kontakt sessions and during mixes as a remote effects rack. The remote effects rack model is what I have working. I usually bring the effects returns back on different aux channels in Pro Tools, but the Pro Tools Aux channels are not returning separate audio from VEP outputs (This may be simply a config issue in Patchwork, but I have not investigated it yet).

I have yet to need or test the VST instrument host model.

In the video, I have Black Hole and Acustica’s Silver (Plate) running in VEP on a networked PC.

VEP 7.2.1516 server & plugins

Pro Tools 23.3.0.89

Patchwork 2.6.5

All versions are listed. Not a Beta.

+1 on the MAS. I‘ve pretty much completed migration to my maxed out M2 laptop, all native, & as great as it is, I could see me still getting some use out of my old iMac Pro through VEPro. I‘ll probably never leave DP (unless the others suddenly decides to add wait-for-note capability), please please please….MAS 🙏🏼

I see there is a new VSL Pro 7 update, v7.2.1526, and there is something in the notes about this version being a preparation for Silicon. Could you give us more information?
