Vienna Ensemble Pro can be used as a plug-in, conveniently integrated into your setup over a GigaBit LAN connection, or as a stand-alone program. To launch Vienna Ensemble Pro as stand-alone software, double-click Vienna Ensemble Pro or Vienna Ensemble Pro (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.
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 for Vienna Ensemble Pro’s Input Channels.
Note
WINDOWS: Select active channels of an audio device to improve communication with other audio applications. Audio channels of the same audio device can be used by another audio application when deactivated in the Vienna Ensemble Pro Preferences.
Select your MIDI Input Devices for this Vienna Ensemble Pro stand-alone instance.
Smoothing: Sets the amount of smoothing applied to the tempo when synchronized to the MIDI clock. Ranges from 0 to 40 ms. Defaults to 20 ms.
Round tempo: When enabled, rounds the tempo to integer values (so that, for instance, 120.2 becomes 120, 140.7 becomes 141, and so forth), which generally results in less tempo jitter at the expense of possible tempo drifting. Enabled by default.
In macOS, all installed AU and VST plug-ins are displayed here. In Windows, make sure that you have assigned the correct VST plug-in path so that Vienna Ensemble Pro is able to find all your plug-ins!
Tip
Favorites Manager: The use of your Effects and Instruments is automatically counted, and the most recently used plug-ins are displayed. You can also Add Favorites manually.
Tip
Available Plugins: Lists all scanned plug-ins. You can choose which ones to USE in Vienna Ensemble Pro.
Note
Vienna MIR Pro Settings are only available if a valid license for MIR Pro is available. Please consult the MIR Pro manual for more information.
