The Vienna Symphonic Library team has announced the release of their mixing host Vienna Ensemble PRO as a boxed edition. The software offers a comprehensive cross-platform LAN solution that can incorporate both Mac and Windows computers into one network using a simple Ethernet cable. Furthermore, the 9 GB Epic Orchestra sample pack is included as a free bonus.
Both the download product and the physical product contain exactly the same software. Vienna Ensemble PRO retails at €195 / $315 and is now available from the company's worldwide network of distributors and dealers.
Vienna Ensemble PRO's features include full 64-bit support (Mac & Win), 3rd party plug-in hosting, and dual architecture servers to integrate both 64-bit and 32-bit plug-ins simultaneously. The intelligent Preserve function makes endless loading times when opening new sessions a thing of the past, by retaining entire plug-in setups from project to project. Pro Tools users can use all of their AU plug-ins when instantiating Vienna Ensemble PRO as an RTAS plug-in.
The free Epic Orchestra Pack, a powerful 9 GB grand orchestra sample library, provides a selection of Vienna's most popular instruments, such as Appassionata Strings, Epic Horns, Fanfare Trumpets, woodwinds ensembles, drums & percussion and more. The included demo project with tailor-made presets makes Vienna Ensemble PRO an ideal all-in-one production tool for quick and easy sonic delights right out-of-the-box, according to VSL.
