VSTis in MIR-Pro

[chammer]

HI, Can anyone tell me, do third party virtual instruments visually show up in MIR-Pro in the same way Vienna Instruments do where you can spacially move the icon(s) around the stage? And do you first load a third party VI into Ensemble to make it available to MIR? Thanks. Christian

 In short: Yes, and yes. :-) And you can use "raw" audio inputs, too.

Just be aware that any 3rd party intrument (or audio input) obviously can't make use of the tailor-made Instrument Profiles that are available for all Vienna Instruments (... which are the results of years of painstaking measurements), but will have to use so-called General Purpose-profiles with less "knowledge" about the signal.

Kind regards,

Dietz, I'm not sure what you mean in your helpful post regarding 'tailor-made instrument Profiles'. What is it exactly that you cant do with 3rd party VSTs in MIR PRO? Regards, Patrick

 Hi Patrick,

MIR's Instrument Profiles are explained on p.13 ff of the PDF called "Think MIR!" (the manual's addendum with lots of background information). Get it from here:

HTH,

Dietz. Many thanks indeed.I'll be wading through the manual.Thanks for the web address. This thread is one I was about to start myself having recently stumbled across MIR on visiting this site after an absence. I have to freely admit that I do not possess any VSL libs--yet-- but I do use a number of 3rd party orchestral libraries with Cubase as my PC DAW. I love the concept of MIR but for the moment hesitate at buying into VSL to reap the benefits of MIR--my dilemma! Do VSL offer any educational discounts? Kind regards, Patrick
