General

Location Management

You can choose your preferred download (1) and content (2) locations. Windows users can also select a location for VST2-plugins (3).

If the "Always choose location"-option is ticked, the Vienna Assistant will show a prompt for a location before installing individual content.

If you connect a Vienna Hard Drive (4), you will see the details here. More information about offline installation can be found here.

Warning

The Vienna Assistant will always default to the set content location when installing multiple products simultaneously.

Note

VST3 plugins have a fixed location and do not require a user choice.

Vienna Assistant Modes & Download Options

When checking the box for Offline-Mode (1), the Vienna Assistant will automatically be forced into an offline state. Please note that many features will then be disabled.

If you wish to keep downloaded data (2), this option can be helpful - e.g., for downloading content and copying it to multiple machines.

Depending on your preferences, you can toggle receiving only mandatory notifications (3) and sharing anonymous user data (4) on and off, separately.

Users with NKS-compatible hardware from Native Instruments will find the Automatically install NKS presets (5) option enabled by default if the Komplete Kontrol Software is detected on the machine.

By default, the Vienna Assistant displays all download rates in bits per second (6). If this checkbox is disabled, the rates are shown in bytes per second. Additionally, a speed limit (7) can be set here.

If desired, the factory default settings for the Vienna Assistant can be restored using the Restore Default Settings (8) button.

Furthermore, you have the option of using the Reset ‘Don't show again’ boxes (9) to redisplay alleged info boxes that were suppressed previously.

Users with a compatible version of Dorico from Steinberg installed can use the Remove Dorico Templates (10) button to remove old 'VSL for Dorico' templates with a single click.

Reset Database (11) should only be used if there are issues with missing products inside the sample players.
