Vienna Instruments PRO comes with quite a few additional files that will be installed in the Programs/Application Folder. Vienna Instruments PRO Standalone is explained later in this manual, the Vienna Instruments PRO Uninstaller on OS X can be used if you'd like to roll back to an earlier version, without the help of the Vienna Assistant.

The Vienna Instruments software includes a utility called the Vienna Instruments Directory Manager which keeps track of the drives and folders your data is installed in, providing that information for Vienna Instruments PRO.

Your Sample Content is assigned automatically when you install a new Vienna Instruments Collection. You can look up the details on the Directory Manager in your Vienna Instruments Manual, here we will focus on the only new addition with Vienna Instruments PRO, which is the Time Stretch Cache folder: Define the location where your stretched samples will be stored. Staccato Patches will take less space, Performance Legato Patches with up to 1000 samples per patch will produce quite some additional data.

Set a Size Limit for your time stretch cache folder. If the stretch cache reaches the set limit, Vienna Instruments PRO will automatically clean up the disk space. If you are using Time Stretching a lot, make sure to have a high Size Limit (default: 100 GB). If possible, don't assign the Time Stretch Cache Folder to your system drive.

• When using SSD drives (in this case, drive "I"), you can set the Preload Size for the folders on this drive to a lower setting (default is 16384 Samples, which is good for conventional drives). You can select multiple folders at once.

Cross-reference: As soon as you have assigned different Preload Sizes in the Directory Manager, you cannot set the Default Preload Size in the Settings Tab of Vienna Instruments PRO anymore!

The Custom Data Folder that contains all your customized presets and matrices can easily be assigned to a location of your choice:

It is located in the following locations by default. This location will avoid any permission problems.
