Vienna Ensemble PRO

Vienna Ensemble PRO works universally on Macs and PCs, hosting Vienna Instruments as well as 3rd party VSTi (PC), AU (Mac) instruments and effect plug-ins. With the 64-bit version of Vienna Ensemble PRO you can load as many samples as all of your RAM will hold! Use it as a host on the same computer as your sequencer to integrate all your 64-bit and 32-bit instruments, or use it as a master-slave solution, even on cross-platform networks with multiple Macs and PCs. Run your sequencer on your main computer, launch Vienna Ensemble PRO on the slave computer, and simply connect them using an Ethernet cable. You can easily route the audio streams of a whole arsenal of computers back to your main machine.

Another major improvement is the new Preserve function. Now you can keep your templates and instruments loaded while switching from one project to another. Add to that many other new features and improvements, such as the sleek new user interface, the Optimize All function, full 64-bit support on the Mac, mixer automation, and you're presented with the uber-host for sample-based music production on one or more computers!
One Vienna Ensemble PRO product comes with 3 licenses, so you can set up a network of up to 4 computers (one host and 3 slaves, provided there's no stand-alone version of Vienna Ensemble PRO running on your main computer).

Our completely revamped mixing host with MIDI and audio LAN capability comes with EPIC ORCHESTRA, a free Grand Orchestra Sample Pack!

Features
- MIDI and audio LAN solution that works universally on Macs and PCs.
- No audio interfaces, no MIDI interfaces on your additional computers (slaves) – all you need is Ethernet with a Gigabit connection.
- Launch as many Vienna Ensemble PRO instances as you need (depending on your available RAM).
- 3rd party VSTi/AU hosting (multichannel)?Instantiate Vienna Instruments along with other 3rd party VST and AU instruments from Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, and more; Vienna Ensemble PRO works with 99,9% of all available VST/AU plug-ins and supports plug-ins with multiple outputs. Please make sure to use the latest versions of your software.
- Preserve Instance?Disconnect Vienna Ensemble PRO from your sequencer while keeping all of your instruments and samples loaded, and re-connect to a new cue or project without loading again.
- Mixer Automation?Use AU/VST/RTAS automation from your sequencer to control Vienna Ensemble PRO's mixer (volume, pan and sends).
- Redesigned user interface?A sleek, calm new design that's easy on the eye.
- Channel strip and mixer strip sizing?Switch between wide or narrow channel strips for optimal viewing and saving screen space.
- Customized viframe preset for Epic Orchestra Pack.
- Link Pages?When activated, all Vienna Instruments GUIs will show the same right pane window when switching tracks, e.g., the "Patch Assign" page.

- Multiple Undo/Redo
- Slave mode host tempo synchronization.
- Separated server solution that utilizes additional free memory, leaving host sequencer memory or memory used by additional Vienna Instruments plug-ins unaddressed.
- Dual architecture servers?Run 64-bit and 32-bit Vienna Ensemble PRO Servers side-by-side on the same computer which makes it easy to integrate 32-bit 3rd party instruments into your templates.
- Full Mac OS X 64-bit support?Utilize the full memory of your Mac.
- Improved loopback performance (Mac)?Running Vienna Ensemble PRO Server on the same machine as your sequencer now puts much less strain on your system and will perform more reliably.
