A rich array of third party AU and VST (for the first time on Mac) plug-ins and VST3/AAX Native/RTAS/MAS connector plug-ins is supported as are up to 48 MIDI ports and 768 audio ports per instance.
This brings the total price to about $400 USD, though VSE does sweeten the deal by including one license for their Epic Orchestra sample library and player.īottom line: If you're a professional composer, buy VEP6-it's excellent. VEP 6 seamlessly integrates Vienna Instruments, which comes packaged with it or Vienna Instruments Pro if you have the VI Pro license.
275 Euro for the software itself, and then you need a USB dongle (either VSE's own or a Steinberg eLicenser Key) for every machine you want to use as a server.
Impressively, VSE has managed to reduce its CPU overhead to near-zero.įor non-professional users, the price may simply be too high. In return, Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 can also run VST and AU (Mac only) plugins in place of a DAW. Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 is compatible with AAX/AU/VST plugin types, and can run on various DAWs. It works very well, and can bridge between PCs, Macs, 32/64-bit, VST and AU in all combinations. Let’s first take a look at what makes Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 a great tool. VEP6 is a bit expensive, but for professional users it will be well worth the price. I did a search on my C: Drive for VST Folders and the locations came up, so I then used that as a reference to load the needed files. I clicked 'Load a file' and was asked for a VST Folder. We have to inform you that Vienna Ensemble Pro is a commercial product, and therefore, must be purchased legally in order to avoid breaking the copyright law and not respecting the hard work of original. Visit the developers website to purchase and download the program.
With the manufacturer's kind permission I tested the 30-day free trial version. OK, so I found the 'Plug-in' section on the VE Pro 5 server under 'preferences'. Thank you for using our software library. Of course Vienna Ensemble Pro supports Vienna Instruments, but you may also integrate all of your third-party 64-bit and 32-bit VST/AU instruments and effects plug-ins (such as Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, Waves, you name it) and mix them in stereo and surround (up to 7.1), with full parameter automation and optional one-click integration. I recently learned about Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 (VEP6), which is commercial software that does everything NetVST does, and more.
