Hi,

Thanks for the mail. I have forwarded the information to our development team.
We will contact you as soon as possible with further information.

Hi Geoff,

Some directories in MacOS are now protected and can't be used to storage sample content or other files.
Simply move these sample files to a new location and fix the links in the DirectoryManager for Vienna Instruments (Pro) and/or in the Synchron Player.

Vienna Instruments: Open the Directory Manager App and delete all entries that are marked in red, then drag and drop the new directory with the sample-content into the manager.

Synchron Player: Open the configuration in the player, go to database, delete all entries that are listed in red, drag and drop the directory with the sample content into it, restart the host.

Hi Geronimo,

please double-check that you have disabled ASIO Guard in Cubase for all VSL plugins:

Hi!

Make sure you have updated all componentes and Vienna Ensemble.
Also, could you please add more information about your setup?
DAW + exact version number, Ensemble exact version number, eLicenser exact version number.

This will help us to investigate this issue.

Best, Ben

Partially. There are newly added instruments, as well as new articulations for some instruments; and the transition samples (legatos) were reworked in order to run with the new Synchron Player.

Thanks for the file. I could reproduce your issue with it and will report it to our development.
Here is a workaround to get MIR working again: Switch to a different main microphone configuration for the room. After that you can switch it back.

Was this template created with an older VEP version, or did you use any import feature / any special actions? Would be helpful to know how this misconfiguration happens, so we can fix this.

Best, Ben

Please use always the Stereo to Stereo variant instead of Mono to Stereo when inserting MIR! You can simply click on the MIR label without opening it and will automatically use the stereo variant.

Regarding your issue: Please attach the VEP project here packed as zip, or send it to and I will take a look at it. I can't reproduce this issue on my system.

If you disable the IR and don't use MIR PRO you still have to use the transposition trick if you want to play the same note by the two violin sections.

Hi,

Also make sure a room is loaded in MIR.

Hi Fabio!

Yes, the Solo Violin 2 and solo Cello 2 are lite versions of the Single Instruments Solo Violin 2 and Solo Cello 2.

Hi,

I have just checked this and as far as I can you can't resize the VST2 version of this plugin in any host.

Best, Ben

If you right click on the meter you get the "Copy/Paste channel strip" option, that copies and pastes everything except the channel name.

Hi Dewdman,

Just right-click on the volume meter in the mixer :)

Hi Masi,

we uploaded one to our YouTube channel just a few days ago:

Hi Richard,

If you use MIR inside Vienna Ensemble you can route the reverberated signal to a bus and apply reverb only to it:

Hi,

You can alter the keyboard range and volume of the patches with these controls:

Hi Philippe,

Best way to find out is to compare the sound of these two libraries:
https://www.vsl.co.at/de/Synchron_Package/Synchron_Chamber_Strings#!Demos
https://www.vsl.co.at/de/Chamber_Strings_Bundle/Chamber_Strings_I#!Demos

Even if these two libraries are based on the same recordings, the SYNCHRON-ized version was completly remastered from the source recording material, which results in a different sound.

But maybe you like both, in which case I recommend to get the VI Chamber Strings, and then upgrade to the SYNCHRON-ized Chamber Strings for just 265€. This will give you access to both libraries.

Best, Ben

Hi,

Thanks for your tests and detailed problem descriptions. I have talked with our development just now about this issue.
We try to get hold of such a machine to continue investigation.

In the mean-time, to shorten the investiagtion time as soon as our machine arrives, could you please test following scenarios and report your results:
- Does it male a difference to change the Cubase audio-engine to 32-/64-bit (How-To switch)?
- Do you use any kind of convolution reverb inside VEP? Does removing all these plugins / disable convolution in VEP and hosted plugins change the load?
- Do you use any instrument-plugins in your test-session and which are these?

Thanks for your patience and testing!

Best, Ben

Hi,

These libraries do not run in the Vienna Instruments Player, but rather in our new Synchron Player.
Please download and install the Synchron Player in order to use these instruments.

Best, Ben

Make sure you open the 32-bit version of VEP to use 32-bit plugins. You can run VEP 32-bit and 64-bit side by side.

Please note: all 32-bit applications are limited to 4GB of RAM. This is also true for the 32-bit version of VEP!

Hi,

- MIR Pro is not that taxing anymore on modern mid- to high-end CPUs with more than 2 cores and 3.5+ GHz. After the impulse for the position is calculated it's similar taxing like an IR reverb (they add up for many instruments).
- The SYNCHRON-ized instruments are also close to that regarding CPU load (IR reverb)
- The Synchron and BBO libraries stream many data because they are multi-mic libraries. So a fast and low-latency SSD or even NVMe SSD will give you best results.
- The Dimension libraries can behave like multi-mic libraries if you use the same MIDI-data for each player, resulting in streaming data from drive at the exact same time.

Regarding Synchron Strings I and velocity crossfade: If you need Vel.XF use the "Soft", "Med" and "Load" variants of the articulation to reduce the velocity layer count.

Best, Ben

You can order one here: https://www.vsl.co.at/Product_Overview/ViennaKey

You will also find the Vienna Key / an eLicenser in most music stores.

Hi Patrick,

Only the spot microphones are disabled to achieve a specific sound. Because the entire orchestra was recorded playing together ( =tutti), you will always have bleeding between microphones. With the spot mics you can emphasize specific instrument groups.

You can read more about the orchestration of the BBO libraries here: https://www.vsl.info/instruments/bbo/bbo-a

Hi Phil,

to use Big Bang Orchestra, you need a physical USB eLicenser / ViennaKey.
This is also a requirement for Cubase Artist and Pro.
