These extensive libraries were recorded, engineered, and produced with the superior level of sound quality the EastWest brand is known for. It comes with 3 licenses for setting up a multi-computer network.The EastWest Hollywood Solo Instruments series is comprised of Hollywood Harp, Hollywood Solo Cello and Hollywood Solo Violin. Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 is available now for a special price of €235 until the end of August. Good work.įor a full list of new features and a comparison to older versions please visit the website here. The unification across OSX and Windows is also going to be of great relief to many. The organisation of instances and keeping track of everything is vital for a low stress workflow.

This version appears to address the concerns of many users as the numbers of computers on the network grows. Vienna Ensemble Pro is undoubtedly the best at what it does. There are many more improvements and tweaks to both the plug-in and the server window. The MIR Pro impulse reverb plug-in has been tweaked to offer far better performance especially on the Mac. Disabling channels will now freeze and unload all the plug-ins on that channel while keeping the data intact. You can now load VST plug-ins on the Mac version which makes the multi-platform approach far more unified and fully compatible with Windows.

They appear to have worked hard on the whole workflow in what had become a bit of an unwieldy interface. You can now group and folderise channels.

This makes it far easier to see which plug-in is attached to which instance, playing which instrument – nice! Clicking on the plug-in also brings the attached instance to the front of the server. However, there’s a good reason for this in that the colours represent an instance of Vienna which will also be shown on the plug-in in the DAW.

They’ve also thrown in some rather garish colour which clashes a bit with the usual sombre ‘pro’ grey. On the organisational front they’ve worked all the running instances into a single tabbed “server” window which is probably the most asked-for feature. In improving the graphics they also added high DPI support so that the interface doesn’t do the tiny shrink thing when running a retina or high density display. They talk about a 70% and 80% improvement respectively which seems astonishing and certainly very welcome. Well firstly they’ve reworked the code in an effort to offer improved performance in terms of the graphical interface and the internal processing. It really does break down the processing barriers and offers a scaled approach to music production, composing and virtual instruments. The MIDI and audio data all runs over a regular network and there’s no need for additional audio interfaces or proprietary connections. Along with the VSL, Vienna Ensemble Pro can also host other 32bit or 64bit VST/AU instruments such as Kontakt or Omnisphere.
