Although I never considered a bad thing the fact of using the eLicenser dongle, I wonder if it is also in discussion the possibility of Linux compatibility with the licensing management system that will replace it.

Can we dream of the chance of having dedicated slave pc units running Vienna Ensemble Pro on Linux? I know it's quite a stretch, but since there will be a migration from eLicenser to iLok (don't know much about iLok compatibility with Linux distros though), wonder if that was actually considered by the good people of VSL.

In any outcome, I'll still going to keep supporting VSL products :D

Happy man :)

Any recent news about when MIRx Synchron Stage extension will be available? And, please, don't tell me that using Teldex is close enough :)

Personally I'm quite interested on its release.

Although I don't have anything against Synchron Player, the familiarity with VI and VI Pro makes me reluctant to consider the investment of going to the Synchron-ized versions of the instruments I already own.

That said, I still enjoy a lot more the versatility of  the silent stage sampled instruments, allowing to merge nicely with whatever is required. Compared with the more recent libraries from other brands, I still found VSL "old" instruments to be more credible and, even better, not forcing the composer to a specific route because of the way the virtual instrument performs.

I'll be a happy man when MIRx Synchron Stage extension is released.
