I forsee no problems running it on my Pentium 4 / 3 gigs Ram.

Please allow some crossgrading from other convolution solutions... so we can at least benefit a little bit of leaving the past behind...

I'm still a little confused.
1. Are we able to run downloadable MIR on the same system with VE3 and the Vienna Instruments library?
2. Are we able to run the "packaged" MIR on the same system with VE3 and the Vienna Instruments library?
Thanks,
Peter Alexander

Peter, MIR also hosts the Vienna Instruments, and in a way is therefore a substitute for Vienna Ensemble with reverb (very simply). You wouldn't run both MIR and VE.

So one (1) computer will do the job with MIR and VI on the same system.
Yes?
Is the i7 with 16GB of RAM sufficient or is an 8-core system recommended?
-
obviously its not easy to give a sufficient answer if the question is asked indifferently ...
one computer will do the job with MIR and VI on the same system - for those who want to switch between both setup types.
can both applications run simultaneously?
it looks like even this is possible but because for lack of need we didn't test this with large arrangements (in both apps at the same time). remeber: VE3 receives MIDI and delivers audio over the network functionality, MIR relies on a local audio device.
the i7 ... the range of models currently goes from 920 (2.66 GHz) - 965XE (3.2 GHz), a 950 (3.06 GHz) and a 975 (3,33 GHz) actually with a new stepping is announced ...
to be on the safe side our test system has the 965XE and we couldn't bring it to its knees with average arrangements and number of plugins. of course a 8 core XEON 55xx system would be even more powerful ...
what i would never do is to put 16 GB into any nehalem based computer since the triple channel memory controller always needs triples of memory modules for best performance (6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, ect GB RAM) - for very best performance (= to run with 1333 MHz) actually only 1 memory module per channel

and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds. -
I think the VST instruments option (to be able to run on any VST instrument) should be made available seperately and as a downdload buy. It's ok to also bundle it in the premium editon.

So your recommendation is one computer for MIR and one for VI?
I"m sorry, Chris, I'm not trying to be difficult or silly. I'm not totally following your English especially with the word, indifferently.

Peter, my understanding is that....no, you won't use a different machine for VI (Vienna Instruments) and MIR. They are both on the same machine. The MIR engine hosts the Vienna Instruments like VE does right now. But, you won't host VE on the same machine on which MIR is running. So, in other words, If you get downloadable MIR, you won't really have any reason to use VE anymore until VE pro comes out with its additional hosting capabilites for other libraries etc...

Peter, I'll try to make things clear:
Currently the recommendation is:
One computer for your sequencer, no VE or VI.
One computer for MIR, and MIR will host all your Vienna Instruments.

not precisely, be assured it will be announced here - meanwhile you can spend your time searching for the machine or components 😉
MIR relies on the VE engine and offer the VI interface (see video) so all you can load there can also be loaded into MIR
(AFAIK you cannot load VE projects)

...any news concerning the release date? [...]
We are right now doing some final tweaking and streamlining, writing the manual etc. Chances are that we have found yet another option to gain quite a bit of performance, BTW.
IOW - the release of Vienna MIR will be Really Soon Now 😉
/Dietz - Vienna Symphonic Library -
...any news concerning the release date? [...]
........... Chances are that we have found yet another option to gain quite a bit of performance, BTW.
Now this is a real tease. What sort of increased performance? Faster rendering? Lower latencies? more Instruments loaded? Come on, spill the beans. You know you want to. [;)]
