    VIENNA ENSEMBLE

    Vienna Symphonic Library’s new mixing and host software is part of the next Vienna Instruments software update. Version 2.0 of Vienna Instruments and the Vienna Ensemble host will be a FREE download for registered Vienna Instruments users, starting October 25, 2007!

    Features

    • Tailor-made for hosting Vienna Instruments exclusively
    • Stand-alone application, ideal for running Vienna Instruments on external computers
    • RTAS (Mac PPC & Intel), VST (PC), AU (Mac PPC & Intel) compatibility for plug-in use with your host sequencer
    • Separated server solution that doesn’t address RAM used either by your host sequencer or by Vienna Instruments plug-ins running alongside the sequencer and Vienna Ensemble.
    • Prepared for 64-bit PCs and Macs
    • Master bus, aux busses
    • Inserts for VST effect plug-ins
    • Power panning

    (All features subject to change during beta testing.)


    Most. Exciting. Thing. Ever.

    I have to applaud very loudly for the Vienna Team. This is a complete surprise - and it's free for registered users. Thanks in advance to Herb and the VSL team!

     Only works with the VI tho.. still, it looks very professional and is FREE, so.

     Can't wait till MIR plugs into this.

     Herb's online atm! Maybe he can tell us some more about it :D

    Come on dammit .... COME ON!!! ((looks at watch)) ... MOVE YOUR ASS!!! Damn time! VSL .. I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!! This thing looks so cool. And I imagine that MIR is to fit into this system sometime in the near future ((that is my wild guess .. but my feverant hope as well.)) :D Can't wait at all.

    The power panning looks really cool. Logic doesn't allow you to reduce the width and still pan in it's direction plug-in (as you approach mono you loose the capability to pan at all) so this control looks great to use. Julian

    All i can say is WOW, and even the site has upgraded. Makes me feel good to be apart of this community and feel great to be in the music world. Im a late blumer but I'm here now. And maybe some of you pro VSL pro's out there can give us a break down of what this new upgrade can do for us now and in the future. Wow,lol

    Anyone know if MIR will run on Vienna Ensemble exclusively? It would be great if it was VST.[:)]

    Questions: Logic user here. Going to L8 & Mac Pro 8-core very soon. - OK, it's AU. So it can run within L8 and external to L8 on the same computer? - Do you see the (new version) of the Vienna Instrument interfaces also? It looks as though you can't see all the controller as you do on the current VI. So how much screen clutter will there be when you have multiple VI's open and a Vienna Ensemble both within the host and external to it? Is there some better way to manage all the open GUI's? - Will we be able to connect from VE to L8 via the Inter Application Bus? - So I take it to mean that when we close an L8 project and open another we won't have to reload an external VE which happens to be on the computer?

    Oh my, my! This is way too exciting. Definitely won't sleep until October 25th. The timing couldn't be better either, since I just finished building a new 8GB PC slave machine. And if Apple manages to release a new Mac Pro soon (I'm guessing around the time of Leopard), then I'm going to be *very* nicely set up!!! Happy times. And a free upgrade for registered VI users! That's a real bonus. A big thanks to the VSL. cheers, J.

    fantastic - I hope this will sit comfortably inside SIbelius5 as a VST.[8-|]

    Vienna Ensemble looks good. Forum looks cr*p. Can't even get to the bottom of a page. Frustrating........

     Looks exciting ... but sorry for being a bit dumb here ...

    How does this work with a DAW?  My first reading of the notice led me to believe it was a stand-alone host for VI instruments, for putting on another PC / MAC.

    But for those of us who work with only a single PC, what is the benefit of this and how is it connected to a DAW?

    Yeah I'm not wild about the new forum. Maybe I just hate change. These frames are kinda annoying, except that they don't seem to be frames...

    Hetoryn: Your post made me laugh quite hard. 😄

    Drew, on XP32, I can't see any advantage at all. On XP64, it could mean that even with a 32bit sequencer you could use loads of RAM. I guess that it is really aimed at Mac users, who don't have a 64bit OS.
