Vienna Ensemble PRO

Vienna Ensemble Pro has become the definitive cross-platform network solution in studios and production facilities around the world. This mixing and hosting application enables you to set up a multiple computer network with both Macs and PCs without the need for extra MIDI and audio interfaces – all you need is a simple Ethernet cable. Even when you're using only one computer, Vienna Ensemble Pro improves your work-flow dramatically, with unique functions such as "Preserve" that keeps all your plug-ins and samples loaded while switching from one project to another – a huge time saver.

Vienna Ensemble Pro supports Vienna's sample players as well as all of your third-party VST/AU instruments and effects plug-ins and mix them in stereo and surround (up to 7.1), with full parameter automation and optional one-click integration with Vienna MIR Pro. What's more, with the included Epic Orchestra 2.0 Sample Pack you get a powerful all-in-one production tool to get you started right away.

Single Licenses available
You can purchase as many single licenses of Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 as you need. Instead of buying a fixed bundle of three licenses, you can buy one, two, three or more licenses, depending on the number of computers you have on your network.* Upgrade prices from Vienna Ensemble Pro versions 4, 5 and 6 are available. They are displayed automatically when you're logged in.

Epic Orchestra 2.0
Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 now comes with a dramatically improved version of the original Epic Orchestra. At 73 GB, Epic Orchestra 2.0 is ten times the size of the original that was included with previous versions of Vienna Ensemble Pro! The new sample collection, powered by the Vienna Synchron Player, includes all the previous instruments and articulations, as well as stunning highlights from Vienna's latest library products.

* You need one Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 license per computer. For example, if you have two computers, one master and one slave, you need just one license if you're running one or more instances of Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 on your slave computer only. If you're running one or more instances of Vienna Ensemble Pro on both your master and slave machines, you need two licenses. Also, each computer requires one ViennaKey for authorization.
