Differences between VEP4 and VEP5

[feeserface]

Hi all, I'm still using the VEP4. Thinking about upgrading. Other than stability and continued development, 3hat features does 5 have that 4 doesn't. I tried to find a comparison sheet but couldn't. Thanks.

Hi Steve, 

The product comparison can be found under "Product Comparison" on the VE PRO 5 product page (in the menu below the product pic 😉). 

Best,

Thanks Paul.  But, isn't that the comparison between VE 5 and VEP5?   I'm trying to see the benefit of upgrading from VEP4.

Thanks

Hi F, 

Oops, you are right.  My bad, VE PRO 4 has been such a long time ago. 

The main features are mentioned on the first pages of the VE PRO 5 manual. Here they are: 

> Full Backward Compatibility with Vienna Ensemble PRO 4 

> Full ITU Surround Support 

> New Surround Balance / Surround Pan Plug-ins 

> Full Plug-in Latency Compensation 

> Audio Input Plug-in 

> Event Input Plug-in (to circumvent AU/VST single MIDI port limitation) 

> Parameter Automation with touch automation, fully mappable 

> Transport Play/Stop button, which is transmitted to the master host as well (Space key). Now you can start and stop your playback from within Vienna Ensemble PRO! 

> Full Time Information and Synchronization from the master host (SMTP, cycling, time signature, PPQ) 

> Re-arrange and docking/undocking of all windows 

> Ability to move mixer strips by dragging (was previously only possible with channel strips) 

> Ability to drag multiple channel or mixer strips at the same time 

> Ability to undo/redo virtually everything (including 3rd party plugin parameter changes) 

> VE Pro interface element can be (un)docked and tabbed freely now 

 

> Ready for Vienna MIR PRO! 

Best, 

Paul
