Vienna Ensemble can be used as a plug-in, conveniently integrated with your sequencer, or as a stand-alone software(e.g., for live playing). To launch Vienna Ensemble as stand-alone software, double-click Vienna Ensemble (Windows only) or Vienna Ensemble (64-bit) from your programs/applications.
Click on the Preferences icon in the task bar to configure your stand-alone setup.The first start will automatically open the Preferences.
The General Preferences for your stand-alone Vienna Ensemble differ just a little from the Preferences described in the Vienna Ensemble Service Preferences (Instances).

The Audio and MIDI Routing can be configured, you can add and deactivate outputs/inputs and assign names for a better overview. The activated inputs of your soundcard will also be available in the Input Channels within Vienna Ensemble.
