Vienna Ensemble Pro version 4
Still available as a download beside the new Vienna Ensemble Pro 5
Two great products in one power package! Vienna Symphonic Library’s completely revamped mixing host VIENNA ENSEMBLE PRO comes with the 9 GB sample pack EPIC ORCHESTRA, offering an impressive cross-section of Vienna’s most popular instruments!
Vienna Ensemble PRO is a mixing host with MIDI and audio LAN capability, compatible with third party plug ins! Vienna Ensemble PRO works universally on Macs and PCs, hosting Vienna Instruments as well as 3rd party VSTi (PC), AU (Mac) instruments and effect plug-ins. With the 64-bit version of Vienna Ensemble PRO you can load as many samples as all of your RAM will hold! Use it as a host on the same computer as your sequencer to integrate all your 64-bit and 32-bit instruments, or use it as a master-slave solution, even on cross-platform networks with multiple Macs and PCs. Run your sequencer on your main computer, launch Vienna Ensemble PRO on the slave computer, and simply connect them using an Ethernet cable. You can easily route the audio streams of a whole arsenal of computers back to your main machine.
Mixing Over Network
Just one Ethernet cable saves you a lot of time and money! Use unlimited audio and MIDI tracks on your slave computer and route audio back to your master computer over LAN, even on cross-platform networks. Watch the Videos!
EPIC ORCHESTRA included
Vienna Ensemble PRO comes with a massive bonus library that includes a large string ensemble (Appassionata Strings), Woodwind Ensembles, our famous Epic Horns, Fanfare Trumpets, and lots of Percussion! Create that larger-than-life Hollywood sound and mix the instruments using our tailor-made projects!
3rd Party VSTi/AU Hosting
Insert both 64-bit and 32-bit instruments and effect plug-ins from third-party manufacturers such as Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, Rob Papen, Garritan, you name it. Good news for Pro Tools users: Now you can integrate all AU plug-ins into your sessions!
Full 64-Bit Support
Unlimited RAM access! An electronic musician’s dream comes true – use ALL the RAM that’s available on your Windows and Mac OS X computer. With Vienna Ensemble PRO’s unlimited MIDI and audio channels, you can run a complete orchestra and even more on one well equipped machine.
Preserved Sessions
Disconnect Vienna Ensemble PRO from your sequencer while keeping all of your instruments, effects and samples loaded. Then re-connect to a new cue or project without having to load again. A great time-saver for improved work-flow!
Dual Architecture Servers
Run 64-bit and 32-bit Vienna Ensemble PRO Servers side-by-side on the same computer. The easiest way to integrate all of your 3rd party instruments into your templates.
3 Licenses
One Vienna Ensemble PRO product comes with 3 licenses, so you can set up a network of up to 4 computers (one host and 3 slaves, provided there’s no stand-alone version of Vienna Ensemble PRO running on your main computer).
EPIC ORCHESTRA
Data size of installed library on hard drive: 6.2 GB
Actual data size in 24-bit: 9.36 GB
This free bonus library is only available with Vienna Ensemble PRO.
Vienna Ensemble PRO comes with a customized project for the included Epic Orchestra that integrates the powerful Vienna Suite plug-ins. Import the Epic Orchestra Demo MIDI file into your sequencer, load the corresponding Vienna Ensemble PRO project (viframe), and you get a perfect, well-balanced mix that will also be a great starting point for your own arrangements!

Product activation:
Vienna Instruments require the ViennaKey!
This USB protection device by eLicenser (formerly Syncrosoft) is not included in the box of any collection, it is a separate item you have to get additionally. So you’ll have to order at least one ViennaKey with your first purchase. It will be put inside the shopping basket automatically but can be deleted if not required. Customers who order the complete SYMPHONIC CUBE will get one ViennaKey for free (not shown in the basket). If you already own another eLicenser USB protection device (e.g., from Steinberg or Arturia), you can use it for the VIENNA INSTRUMENTS, too. Each dongle can store up to 100 product licenses.
Additionally an internet connection on any computer is required to authorize a VSL product.

Conclusion
The event we mentioned at the start of this article will be taking us through Ensemble Pro live, but will also be showing us that Vienna’s MIR Pro is going to be fully compatible with Ensemble Pro – this is earth-shattering news. If you’re familiar with the auditorium-positioning mixer design, which allows you to move your virtual instruments around a virtual room to allow for perfectly bespoke panning and reverberation, you’ll see the immense potential of this combined setup. However, even if you have no plan to use anything even mildly orchestral in your projects, the networking capabilities of Vienna Ensemble Pro are utterly mind-blowing in themselves. This is the only hosting system worth thinking about.
