    Great to see the Apple Silicon native release of VEPro 7 today. Thank you guys!

    Quick question - is it normal to see only the "Vienna Ensemble Pro Surround" plugin in the DAW? Should we be just using this one plugin and setting the output type to what we require even if that's not surround?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: SOLUTION - Just download with Vienna Assistant and install manually rather than entirely with Vienna Assistant. Thanks!

    Hi Paul/VSL,

    This is a great day, thanks so much VSL for these updates. Out of curiosity, how did you manage to port VI Pro and the Vienna Imperial to Apple Silicon? Back in March, you said it would be hard, if not impossible to port them to AS. Thanks again!

    Best,

    Hi Paul and team,

    Just tried a project that was maxing out CPU before and regardless of the great Apple Silicon addition, the performance jump with this new version is PHENOMENAL! (Cubase Intel <-> VEPro Server Windows). Thank you! HUGE reduction in load on the DAW. I'm seeing significantly better audio performance than before, even after having halved the buffer size!

    Amazing! Thank you!

    My joy for an Apple Silicon version of VE Pro is short lived. An AAX version doesn't seem to get installed. I've tried installing twice but there's nothing getting installed in:

    Macintosh HD>Library>Application Support>Avid>Audio>Plugins

    VST(3) and AU install fine. AAX Synchro Player/Pianos/Harp all installed correctly.

    HI Marsdy, 

    That's indeed a stupid glitch in the (silent) VA Installer.

    I have posted the fix above, should be corrected with the next update: 

    VE Pro 7 GLITCH-FIX for VST3 and AAX on macOS: Please use THIS WORKAROUND for now to install the software manually. The installation routine in the Vienna Assistant does not install these plug-ins properly!
    This installer issue will be fixed asap. 

    Didn't want to ruin your first impression!

    Hi Paul,

    I just wanted to say thank you soooo much that Imperial was updated as well. That was my most important one, and I am so glad you made it work!!!

    Vielen herzlichen Dank!!

    Still baffled by the PR side, but this is a huge release. Congrats! Game changer for so many people.

    Frankly surprised it isn't a paid update and version 8; would gladly have paid for this! That's very decent of Vienna to do it like this.

    Finally!!! WhooHooo!!!

     

    Although after all this time, I'm very apprehensive.  What's the best way for users to roll back if any of us encounter issues?

    That's great but after installing VEP7 I found out that no AAX silicon got installed, any ETA on that?

    Thank you VSL, especially for not charging a forced update to v8. It is much appreciated. Great timing for me too as I was about to redo my DP templates.
