  • Vienna Ensemble - assigning outputs

    Never checking the website, I've just found out about this and downloaded it. Awesome. I've got the full VSI extended running with Digital Peerformer, so this is a great way to be able to use more memory. Dumb question - is there a way to assign outputs to the different instruments in the VE? (e.g. strings to MOTU 2408 1-2, horns 3-4, wind 5-6, and so on?) I can see the pull-down menu saying master bus, then HW OUT 1/2, HW OUT 3/4 and so on), but this doesn't seem to route to the outs. Do i need to set up this hardware outs somewhere, or do i do that from within Digital Performer? (it telss me when I click on preferences that "IN a service mode, no audio/midi settings are available.) Sorry for being so thick - looked for a video or any other tutorial, but can't find one :-) Thanks in advance.

  • Not sure about Performer, but generally speaking the 'hardware out' that VE is showing would be your soundcard's hardware outs. So if you're using MOTU 2408, then HW OUT 1/2 should correspond to MOTU out 1/2 -- but if you're not getting any output in the MOTU, it sounds like you must either set things right in Performer or in the MOTU audio setup (the little application you launch to set MOTU audio settings; separate from the MOTU Console). In the MOTU audio setup, do you have all of your outputs checked so that they will appear in Digital Performer?

  • It really depends on whether you are talking about the standalone or the plugin.

  • I'm using it as a plug-in. In DP i go to "Add instrument>Add vienna ensemble". and Yep all the hardware outs are ticked in the bundles, but I only get sound when it comes out of H/W 1/2. (loads of other stuff in DP coming out of the other plug-ins, spectrasonics, audio, etc, so I know those outputs work) Is this the best way to go about it then (i.e. is this the way to access all the extra RAM), or is it better to launch it as a standalone? sorry if i'm being thick :-(
