    Hello,

    Please forgive me I'm sure this has been asked somewhere before, however I wasn't able to find the answer in my several hours of looking through the forums. I just purchased my slave computer and have everything up and running as it should be, however I'm not sure its possible to do what I was originally planning to do. I have two Vienna Keys one with Special Edition Vol 1 and Vol 1 plus and the other key with Special Edition Vol2 and 2 plus. One Key is on my Mac the other is on my PC. Is there anyway to set up the slave to have all of the Woodwinds and Brass samples from the special edition, and my main computer to have the Percusion and String sections. The way the library is divided up it seems like I would have to purchase the entire set over again and have everything on both keys which simply is not financially possible in my current situation.  For me it may be confusing to program in a string line and then have to add another instrument from my other machine to play a string trill.  I'm knew to this whole thing so any suggestions would be of help.

    My DAW is Logic X, my main computer is a Mac Quad Core 3.0 GHZ, with 16 GB memory, My PC is an Intel i5 with 10 GB memory. While I can run the whole VI Special Edition orchestra on my Mac just fine I wanted to have another computer to releave its working load a little. 

    I'm new to this forum so I appreciate any suggestions, thanks again in advance.

    Welcome Trevor, 

    As your licenses for the Special Editions come as one each for SE Vol 1 and SE Vol2, as well as for the PLUS versions, I´m afraid it won´t be possible to divide the instruments like you´d like to do it. 

    But I think that once your template is finished, this will make things easier... one idea is to add an abbreviation before the instrument name in your setup (e.g., "C2 Appassionata Violins" for "Computer 2"), to keep the overview. 

    Hope that helps. 

    Best,
    Paul

    Hello Paul,

    Thats what I thought, but its nice to have confirmation and it saves me a lot of time trying to figure out the impossible :)  and thank you for the additional idea of labeling the template with which computer the articulations ar attached to.

    thanks again for the info,

    Trevor
