How to include VST-PlugIn into Finale2010

[JonnyOh]

Dear VSL-Forum, I know this is a question of a rookie in terms of VST-instruments usage: how can I make Finale2010 find the VST-PlugIn it needs to simulate my notation with the sounds of the marvellous VSL ? Where to put folders, where to swap data? I wish someone can help me! Kind regards Jonathan G.

To be precise, I have found the option MIDI/Audio/VST-Plug-Ins organise... but there, he shows me only Plug-Ins of Garritan and the ARIA-Player in database-format *.dll . Which folder do I have to add to let him find the right *.dll-Data?

Hello Jonathan!

You will have to add the folder in Finale where you have installed the 32-bit VST Plugin of Vienna Ensemble. If you don't remember where you have installed that file, do a search for the file "Vienna Ensemble.dll".

If you haven't done so yet, please also download the files we prepared for our Finale users. They come with short explanations on how to install and use them.

Thank you Andi! Unfortunately, there is no "Vienna Ensemble.dll"-file neither on my PC installed nor on the Vienna Special Editions Stick. What shall I do now? Where should the file be? Kind regards, Jonathan

There is a "Vienna Ensemble.vst3"-file, but renaming it just makes Finale2011 close down. Kind regards Jonathan

Hello Jonathan!

Please don't rename any installed files from our software. This will only make things worse. If you don't have the 32-bit VST2 version of Vienna Ensemble installed, you can do so by installing the latest version of Vienna Instruments. Vienna Ensemble also comes with this installer.
