    Hello Paul!

    Don't use standalone Vienna Instruments or Vienna Ensemble with Sibelius. Please use the Vienna Ensemble plugin from your Sibelius Available devices list.

    If Vienna Ensemble doesn't show up by itself after activating it, you can make it appear by clicking on the active device Vienna Ensemble in Sibelius, then "Show" and then in the Vienna Ensemble Service Interface on "Raise".

    Vienna Ensemble Service (64-bit) already opens by itself. I can add a new instrument but after that the screen does not look like it does in the video or the optimizing playback pdf. It doesn't allow me to access the presets or matrices. The window in the optimizing play back that has a sub header of "basic view" doesn't show up. The whole screen is the dark blue color next to the "channel one" circled in red in the pdf.

    Also I tried to click preferences when In Vienna Ensemble Service (64-bit) and it said: "No audio/MIDI settings are available in Service mode. For Service specific settings, please click on preferences in the Service window." not sure if that explains anything What is the difference between Vienna Ensemble and Vienna Ensemble Service

    Hello Paul!

    Your descriptions sounds like you didn't add any instrument in Vienna Ensemble. You can add instruments with the "VI" button in the lower left. Then you should see the Vienna Instruments interface.

    To learn the basic usage of Vienna Instruments and Vienna Ensemble I recommend reading the software manuals and watching our tutorial videos:

    I don't have a VI button, I added instruments manually by going to Channel then New instrument. But When I add an instrument the "Vienna Instruments" window does not show up. The window I am talking about can be found at 4:16 of the setup guide video. I also noticed on pg 9 of the Vienna Ensemble Manual, I don't have "Directory Manager" I looked in downloads and couldn't find it. Help?

    Hello Paul!

    Maybe you have installed an archive version of Vienna Ensemble without the Vienna Instruments software on your computer.
    Please install the latest version of the Vienna Instruments & Vienna Ensemble software 5.3. It also includes the Directory Manager by the way.

    I re downloaded everything and not a thing changed. This is really getting frustrating Andi, is there a way we can set up a phone call or a screen share? Paul

    That's a shame, it doesn't make your company look very good. I e-mailed them back when this problem first started and they just sent me videos. Videos which I had already watched.

    Can you send us a screenshot or two? That would help locating the problem.
