Dear Forum-Members,

you read it here first: We proudly announce the immediate availability of

MIRx Mode – Instrument and Venue Presets for Vienna MIR Pro

WHAT IT IS:

MIRx Mode is a dedicated function layer inside Vienna MIR Pro (and MIR Pro 24) for the handling of prefabricated, Venue-dependent settings previously only available as a separate product, extending Vienna Instruments Pro. It gives access to about 2.100 tailor-made presets for Vienna Instruments samples and dozens of general purpose settings for other signal sources.

When used in MIR Pro as part of Vienna Ensemble Pro, the most necessary steps of setting up a virtual orchestra or ensemble are carried out automatically (more manual interaction will be needed when working with the MIR Pro plug-in version). On top of it, all instantiated MIR Pro Icons will find their proper positions almost “magically” when switching between MIRx-enabled Venues.

MIRx settings are just that: Tailor-made settings for MIR Pro Icons, carefully adapted for certain MIR Pro Venues. You can invoke and / or modify them whenever you need them, so your individual solution is always just a few mouse-clicks away. Nothing is carved in stone, but MIRx Mode and the presets it supplies will get you started faster than ever.

MIRx Mode is not a different product, but a new feature set of MIR Pro, available for all its existing and prospective users, without additional charge.

MIRx Presets are available for these MIR Pro Venues:

• Vienna Konzerthaus / Grosser Saal (RoomPack 1 – Vienna Konzerthaus)
• Vienna Konzerthaus /Mozartsaal (RoomPack 1 – Vienna Konzerthaus
• Teldex Studio Berlin / Aufnahmesaal (RoomPack 2 – Studios & Sound Stages)
• The Sage Gateshead / Hall One (RoomPack 4 - The Sage Gateshead)
• Pernegg Monastery (RoomPack 5)
• NEW in 2020: Synchron Stage Vienna "Wide" & "Classic (RoomPack 6)

Individually shaped MIRx Presets are available for most (if not all) Vienna Instruments. In addition, there are specific general purpose profiles for 3rd party ensembles, solo instruments and any other kind of signal source.

HOW TO GET HOLD OF IT:

To gain access to MIRx Mode and its presets, make sure to install the most recent version of MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24. If you're planning to use MIR Pro inside Vienna Ensemble Pro, please make sure to install the latest version of this application, too. ... both are available from your VSL User Area.

Please note: MIRx Presets depend on properly installed RoomPacks with valid Venue licenses on your Vienna Key/eLicenser!

... and please take the time to look at the Manual Addendum which covers all the basics and new possibilities.

Enjoy!

... and another brand-new MIR Pro feature:

ASSIGNABLE ROOM EQUALIZER BANKS FOR MIR Pro

The Presets created for MIRx – the convolution reverb extensions for Vienna Instruments Pro – rely a lot on specific Room EQ settings for different instrument families. While this is easy to achieve with MIR Pro's dedicated wet signal routing options when using it in Vienna Ensemble Pro 5, this was impossible to do with more conventional DAWs and the plug-in version of Vienna MIR Pro.

With the introduction of MIR Pro's Room Equalizer Bank feature this partial limitation has been overcome. 32 individual Room EQ settings can be assigned to any MIR Pro Icon, and an additional “0 / Default” setting is used for all “un-routed” Icons without a dedicated assignment. It's crucial to understand that the Room EQ does NOT affect the dry signals at any time (which means that it isn't meant to be used as “master bus EQ”). The Room EQ has always been one of the main tools to sculpt the room-sound derived from MIR's multi-impulse responses, and it has just become more versatile now.

IMPORTANT: Room Equalizer Banks are available at any time and are not restricted to MIRx Mode!

Please refer to the Manual Addendum which covers the usage MIR Pro Room EQ Banks, too.
