  • VIENNA PRO - MISSING VST INSTRUMENTS

    Hello -

    Just got the fantastic Vienna Pro!  Unfortunately my 3rd party VST instruments (like Kontakt, Omni, etc.) are not showing up like they do on the instructional video.

    I noticed in the manual a very brief mention that in OSX, the AU instruments appear.  Does this mean there are no options to load my VST instruments into VPro?

    Also, my Epic Orchestra displays only the "01 App-Strings - Preset" and not the individual instruments.  Is this normal?  All strings are bundled together into a single patch thereby preventing me from, for example, playing pizz violins simultaneously with sustained celli.  

    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?  

    Thanks.

    Here's my rig:

    Mac Pro Intel, OS 10.5.6, dual Quad core 3 GHz, 16 G RAM, Cubase 4.2.274, RME Fireface, waves Gold, Halion 3.3.1.456, Vienna Pro, Vienna Instruments VST plug-in 1.14, Stylus RMX 1.6.0, Hypersonic 2.0.0.605, Virtual Guitar Electric, Omni -- Music Lab midi over LAN connected to a Vista 64 PC running Giga studio 4 and another Vista 64 PC running EastWest Symphonic Orch in the new 64-bit PLAY.

    For the VST plugins, you should set a VST folder (Options->VST Settings... in the VE Pro menu).

    Thanks so much for helping, Karel.  

    Under "Options," there are no entries; i.e., it's an empty pull-down menu.  

    When i navigate to "preferences/Plugins" there is no option for setting the VST folder.  The only FX plugins found are AU ones.  

    I am on a Mac.

    Please help.

     Unfortunately there is no support for VST plugs on OSX.

    I am also still struggling to understand that point. From the VEPro product feature list : 3rd party VSTi/AU hosting (multichannel) Instantiate Vienna Instruments along with other 3rd party VST and AU instruments from Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, and more; supporting plug-ins with multiple outputs. Mac server interface plug-in: RTAS (32-bit Intel, PPC); AU/VST/VST3 (32-bit and 64-bit Intel, 32-bit PPC).

    Hi,

    VST is supported on Windows, AU is a (or "the") standard format on OS X (if you are not ProTools, you cannot use RTAS).

    All plug-ins on OS X that are available as VST instruments are also available as AU instruments on OS X, afaik- or did I miss something?

    Best,

    Paul

    Paul, this may be true but it's still a bit of a pain for me. Because I use Cubase, I only installed the VST plugins for many of my instruments, figuring I didn't need the others. Now I have to install all the AU plugins for Kontakt, Battery, Absynth, EZDrummer etc. one at a time, which is a bit laborious. I suppose it's my fault for not just installing everything. It's an old habit because I'm a software developer and I'm very wary of installing unnecessary things. Now I'm paying the price :(
