Hello everybody!

Guy Bacos has once again raised the bar with his great demo "The Matador's Quest", also available with a screen video that deserves at least 5 runs !

Reminder: This is a free add-on product that delivers such a sound. 

I'm always and again blown away!

Best,
Paul

Hi Gary, 

You're very welcome!

And THANKS: It's always great to hear such positive feedback, I will share it with our team :-)

Best, 
Paul

Hi Nevison, 

There is no Library Update for Epic Orchestra available, that should solve the first problem. 

Regarding the second problem: Please make sure you are using the latest version of eLicenser Control Center and also the latest versions of "Vienna Instruments", our sample player software, and Vienna Ensemble Pro 6.

You might want to restart  your computer after that. 

Best,
Paul

Hi gdugan2, 

I'm afraid that's the historically grown structure, Download Instruments will always be shown as separate instruments and cannot be moved to the bigger collections that are organized in section folders. 

You shoudl try the cool search function in the Browser... just type any instrument name and you will see the results. 

It is indeed not possible to rename patches, those are the smallest building blocks of the VI Series. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Duck, 

Glad to hear that you like Epic Orchestra 2.0!

Do you get a windows crash-dump when Sonar is crashing? You could send it to !

Paul

Hi Michael, 

You can also set C4 in the settings of our players.

Hi Richard, 

No known troubles here with VE Pro 7 and/or eLicenser on macOS 10.13.6...

Did you make sure that you are starting the SERVER, not the Standalone version of VE Pro?

Any AV programs / third party security programs installed that could block communication?

Do you want to post such a crash report, or send it to ?

Best, 
Paul

Hi ancl,

Did you check in Logic's Plugin Manager? Maybe the plug-ins need to be validated manually?

Otherwise I'd suggest to uninstall with the included Uninstaller and install the latest versions again.

Paul

Hi calebcuzner, 

Thanks for your mail!

Please create a process dump when Cubase and / or hangs and send those to us (), with a short link to this thread, hopefully we can tell what causes those hangs.

Does this also happen if you are working in coupled mode?

See the following image on how to create a minidump with process explorer:

Hi Betuel, 

I agree, there are a lot of options indeed!

Glad you like the Synchron Power Drums - did you check out the Mixer Presets yet, maybe even in a surround setup? 

Best, 
Paul

Hello Betuel, 

You can add any MIDI library you like in the implemented MIDI Player, but it's "only" a MIDI player, not the advanced pattern player you find in VI Pro...

Best, 
Paul

Hi Alex, 

Which plug-ins are you inserting in VE Pro?

If you are using multi-timbral plug-ins like Kontakt, you will want to set the MIDI Input to "All". 

Does that help?

Best, 
Paul

Hello HART, 

I checked your registrations and found that you purchased one license for VE Pro 7 (which now also works with VE Pro 6), and also Epic Orchestra 2.0. 

We have changed our license policy with VE Pro 7 and are offering separate licenses, so if you'd like to use the VE Pro Server on a second computer, you will need a second license and a second key to hold your license. 

If you "only" want to use the VE Pro Server on your slave computer, you will not need a license on your master computer, as the "Vienna Ensemble Pro" plug-in (that connects to the VE PRO Server on the slave computer) does not need a license to run. So you can move the key containing your licenses to your slave computer in this case. 

Best,
Paul

Hi Mike, 

Having access to all sections separately definitely makes a difference, and of course you get a lot more articulations with SYNCHRON-ized Appassionata Strings. 

Check out the demos to hear what you'd get. If you like what you hear in the Epic Orchestra 2.0, you will be very happy with SYNCHRON-ized Appassionata Strings.

Best,
Paul

Hi Johannes, 

These are the 5 "reverb stages", from Close to Ambient, that come with the SYNCHRON-ized Appassionata Strings. I'm not sure what you are missing, to be honest. 

The mixer setup for the bigger Synchron Series products is a bit more complex and offers more options, but those are only available for the multi-mic´ed products.

I'm afraid we don't have a place to exchange mixer presets (yet).

Best, 
Paul

Hi Alan, 

Looks like you have not downloaded your Epic Orchestra 2.0 license yet...

Best,
Paul

Hi Alan, 

Hm, looks like it should. 

I'd try those 2 things: 

1) Delete the links from Database and add it again by drag and drop. Restart your DAW/host. 

2) If that doesn't work, reinstall the data. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Johannes, 

Our SYNCHRON-ized Series "only" contains one stereo channel with integrated impulse responses. 

Our bigger Synchron Series products (Synchron Strings I, Synchron FX Strings I, Synchron Percussion, Synchron Pianos....) all come with many more microphones, as those products were recorded with a multi-mix setup at Synchron Stage Vienna.

Best, 
Paul

Hi Alan, 

Looks like the data is missing. Can you please add screenshots of the Preferences => Database and the corresponding data folder of Synchron Percussion (so I can see the *.vsynvolume files)?

Thanks, 
Paul

Hi noiseboyuk, 

Can you please send such a song to , so we can take a look? With a quick reference to this thread....

Hi umarekawaru, 

Please contact us via , best with a screenshot that shows you logged in (upper right corner).

Hello everybody, 

First of all: Thanks for all your input and postings here. We are happy to see that so many of you feel so passionately about this software, and we are doing our very best to justify your support and meet your expectations. 

You probably know that Vienna Ensemble Pro development is always a very involved process, as we not only have to deal with a myriad of plug-ins and their “specialities” but also with specific solutions for the various DAWs out there. What looks the same from the outside can be VERY different from a technical perspective and calls for a dedicated solutions (which again needs to LOOK the same from the user’s perspective). 

To use my favorite euphemism I learned from our developers: It can be tricky :-)

STATUS QUO: 
We are now in the beta stage for VE PRO 7, to make sure that we have not missed any perspective and also to incorporate input and ideas from our beta team, with real-world situations, stress-tests and compatibility tests, and I am confident that we are on a great path to have VE Pro 7 ready for you within the next weeks.

I am not posting a release date but we are aiming at a release in the last week of march, and we will also post updates of confirmed features as we get further ahead in beta-testing. 

On a personal note: What worries me most in this thread is that there are so many “in-fights” about who is right on a topic you have little to no information about. That lack of information is our fault, as we want to publish this information only when it’s 100% confirmed.  I’m just saying that it’s not a pleasure to watch and we are sorry about all the anger this has caused. 

I know that you will get along perfectly fine in the real world, as you are clearly all passionate musicians. 

In this spirit: We are all looking forward to the time when we can finally announce more features, and we hope that Epic Orchestra 2.0 helps to bridge the time until we get there. 

All the best from Vienna, 
Paul and the VSL Team

Hi TCM, 

Sorry to hear that your support request was not answered, Can you please post the case #?

There must be something blocking/limiting the connection. Any AV software / security software involved?

Best, 
Paul

Hi eph221, 

Glad to hear that you like Epic Orchestra 2.0!

If you like live playing and a quick-arrange approach, the Smart Orchestra is definitely a great choice as a next step. I'd say, check out those videos to get an idea, and see what other users will post in this thread!

Best, 
Paul

Hi Richard, 

We are in touch with our colleagues at Steinberg, but mostly concerning interface improvements for our own plug-ins. 

How about the Steinberg User Forums?

Best, 
Paul
