hmm performance is that good- via new ram engine?
what about mir down the road?

Hi Christian thanks for the replies.

Any chance on ellaborating on the VIENNA KEY? I guess its a USB dongle of sorts - any chance it's compatible with the Steinberg key - that would save me some hassle with USB ports....

TIA

[;)] yes

Excellent I have three - lol. I remember the days when you didn't have to pay for them.....

when you do spread it across multiple computers do you have to have a host on each computer, or can it stand alone? do we have to buy vstack or something?

I have always used giga studio so I am not used to plugins samplers very much. Thanks

a VIENNA INSTRUMENT can run as AU, VST or stand-alone

I think that you will be able to use it exactly the same way as you currently use GS, if you want to.

It would be nice if all the hosting possibilities could be listed or at least the optimal hosting. For example I have a Dual 2.7 and two Giga platforms so I would run AU on the Mac and as stand alone or VST on the PC's or would it run along side GS or?

Anyone got 2 cents on that?

Can the Vienna key be the same key as a Logic XSkey? Or do I now need two dongles hanging on my system? If it can be the same key, is there a way to move the vienna key to a diffedrent key should I decide to sell Logic.

dbuddle - if Logic uses the same Synchrosoft driver as Cubase then the answer would be yes - however not being a logic user I can't comment for sure.

The Synchrosoft driver is pretty good and you can move licences between keys quite happily - which is what I have currently done for things like Cubase and Hypersonic - they were on two keys now just the one.

A dongle key is the only way the Vienna Product can't be pirated.
The less they are pirated, the more we benefit of their updates and prices, even if they're high.
I hope it will still be available via the Logic dongle

On my HOST PC, I have one USB taken up by my midex8 and the other by the dongle for SX. Don't have an open USB port for the new VI dongle. Is this a problem?


Rob

Rob - I can't be sure for definite (having not seen the product) but I would say a definite yes if it works as per the current synchrosoft key.

Also the synchrosoft driver can get a little picky with USB hubs and Steinberg advise not running it on a USB hub.

You should be able to run it from the same dongle as Cubase as they are both Syncrosoft.

DG

Very cool. Thanks guys.

Rob, if you launch the Syncrosoft license manager you can move your licenses around. Very cool feature.
