Vienna Ensemble is a mixing and host software application that works exclusively with VSL's Vienna Instruments. It is available as a free download for all registered users of Vienna Instruments.

Vienna Ensemble Features:

• Custom-made for hosting Vienna Instruments.
• Full surround support adhering to ITU standards (up to 7.1), touch parameter automation for total control of all plug-ins on slave computers, and a transport function to start/stop the sequencer from within the application.
• Users can route audio signals directly from their DAW into Vienna Ensemble PRO 5, e.g., to turn it into a virtual FX rack on their slave computer.
• Optional integration of Vienna MIR PRO, which can be opened with a single click from within Vienna Ensemble PRO 5, routing the channel’s signal directly to the Vienna MIR PRO application.
• Stand-alone application, ideal for running Vienna Instruments on external Macs and PCs: 8 ports with 16 MIDI channels each.
• Plug-in formats RTAS (Mac PPC & Intel), AU (Mac PPC & Intel) and VST (PC and Mac PPC & Intel) for use with a host sequencer: 16 MIDI channels per instance.
• Instant instrument switching gives immediate access to all instruments within the Vienna Ensemble user interface. A click on the desired instrument channel brings up its user interface instantly, no more redundant screen clutter.
• Instrument naming – all Vienna Instruments instances inside Vienna Ensemble can be labeled for a complete, at-a-glance overview.
• Total recall – orchestra setups can be saved with one click.
• Definable play ranges for multi-instrument set-ups for studio and live use.
• Inserts for AU (Mac) and VST (PC) effect plug-ins.
• Panning and Power Panning for precise positioning.
• Flexible routing with freely assignable busses.
• Separated server solution that utilizes additional free memory, leaving host sequencer memory or memory used by additional Vienna Instruments plug-ins unaddressed.
