    Hi Paul,

    I didn't hear anything about Apple Silicone for the classic non 3D version of Mir Pro. Sounds like you will only be updating Mir Pro 3D, right?

    Thanks

    Hi, 

    Thanks for the interest!

    @Jeff: There will be no change to the current version of AU3, so it will work like before. However, we're on to something there...

    @Vinny: That's correct, the classic MIR Pro (2D) will not be ported to Apple Silicon. 

    Best,

    Just another big +1 on hoping that you will find a way and the resources to also port Vienna Instrument Pro and Imperial. They are essential in my work and I use them directly in my daw for easier use with effects etc. Also I write a lot while traveling so another machine won’t be possible once Rosetta is phased out. Glad you are making progress on VEP, MIR 3D and your other products! Best

    Thanks Paul - OK, I just checked the latest VEP7 in Rosetta and AU3 plug is finally working in multiport mode in Apple Silicon, thank you!

    As saxmand said "Just another big +1 on hoping that you will find a way and the resources to port" I would be so happy if you find a way for Imperial.

    Dear Paul, maybe as an idea - If it is too hard to port, since it is basically samples like all your other pianos (and only 3 microphones) you basically need a sample player? Can you just put them into a future product as an "alternative piano"? I would be more than happy to pay for a new license if you get Imperial Apple silicon native.

    Crossing all my fingers - thanks so much

    Best, Tom

    Hi everybody, 

    Our Synchron Pianos player is now available as Silicon Native version. 

    Check your Vienna Assistant to download it. We're looking forward to your feedback!

    Very disappointing to hear that ports of VI Pro and Imperial are not planned. VI Pro is the best :(

    Hi everybody,

    A new update of MIR Pro 3D was just released, with great performance improvements for everyone and of course it's now also Apple Silicon ready!

    Now can we get a stable VEP version please?? The last versions have been a mess. Forget about native, just a version that doesn't crash while loading.  The bare minimum.

    Thank you for the updates Paul.

    VEP is currently the only vital piece of my workflow not currently AAX Native, can't wait to see the performance boost in PT as I've been seeing it on all other VIs in the Avid Beta side.

    Keep us posted please.

    Take care

    Great work! Thanks Paul. The VSL team is really on a roll. VE7Pro next.

    All the best

    I am also checking this forum every morning. Really need AS version of VEP 7 Pro

    Paul - is there any way you can give us a rough idea of when we might see just the VST/AU/MAS plugin for VEPro?  Are we days away?  Weeks?  Months?  Longer?  

    I am moving toward a much more expensive hardware alternative and this decision hinges on whether VEPro's silicon-compatible release is close enough to be worth waiting for or not.  

    I already have hardware audio I/O in place.  Next step is replacing network midi. Other options for network midi are a bit hit or miss in terms of stability and reliability, leaving VEPro as about the only option that has been both cost effective and reliable for networked midi and audio. 

    There are a lot of composers with 2 - year old Mac M1s either gather dust or holding back on other upgrades.

    All we need is the DAW plugin.  The server can wait.  In fact, I probably won't ever need an Apple silicon-compatible version of the server (RAM is way cheaper for PCs than new Macs, making PCs the easy choice for sample-servers).

    Hi, 

    We are all waiting for the next great beta version from our development team, they're ironing out a few bugs with VE Pro.
    So I'm PERSONALLY calculating with the next weeks, but I have been wrong before, and this is unfortunately not an official announcement.

    Thank you Paul!  This update is greatly appreciated, and duly noted that it is just your personal guess, with no guarantees.

    What I worry about is the MAS version making it to Apple Silicon. Digital Performer gets ignored a lot these days, and the MAS version is so much better than the AU version in DP it's night and day. I don't have much trust in the VST3 format, 15 years later and it's still buggy here and there.
