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!

Of course Vienna Ensemble Pro supports Vienna Instruments, but you may also integrate all of your third-party 64-bit and 32-bit VST/AU instruments and effects plug-ins (such as Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, Waves, you name it) 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 Sample Pack you get a powerful all-in-one production tool to get you started right away!

Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 is the latest version and comes with a wealth of new features and performance improvements. Please find an overview of all the key features and versions under the Product Comparison menu.

New Features:
Retina (HiDPI) graphics support on both Mac and PCs
Tabbed instances – Improved organization with one common window for all instances, with detachable instances, re-ordering of instances, and tab-coloring for better identification
Frozen/Disabled channels allow unloading all plug-ins (including their allocated memory) from a selected channel, while keeping data intact
Intelligent auto-save functionality – Auto-saves project in desired intervals, but only when transport is stopped, so it doesn’t interrupt a playing session. Easily recover projects in the event of a crash.
VCA folders let you organize your channels conveniently with folders and subfolders that are easy to color-code
VST hosting on the Mac, allowing for full compatibility with Windows
Channel grouping allows assigning channels to a group, with option to link selected parameters to the entire group
“Raise Instance” is now a Vienna Ensemble Pro plug-in parameter to enable automation/hardware controller assignment for quick instance access
“Auto Raise Instance” option raises the connected Vienna Ensemble Pro instance automatically when you show the Vienna Ensemble Pro plug-in
New code base for about 70% less CPU usage for all internal Vienna Ensemble Pro calculations
Rewritten user interface code resulting in 80% less CPU usage for graphics
Improved multi-threading performance for increased plug-in hosting capacity
Redesigned, resizable plug-in window and Audio/Event Input Plug-in
Faster connection/disconnection times when switching between projects
Unified channel model – No more need to create different channels for Vienna Instruments or 3rd party plug-ins. Every channel now has the capability to be a bus, audio input, plug-in channel, Vienna Instruments, Vienna Instruments Pro or Vienna Imperial channel. Drag & drop plug-ins to any channel.
In combination with Vienna MIR Pro: Impulse response files loading up to 5 times faster, improved graphical performance (especially under OS X).
Mixer Interface Customization allows turning on or off sections in the mixer to suit your needs
Transmission of all keys to host – Shortcuts not in use by Vienna Ensemble Pro will be transferred to a connected DAW
Miniature view – Channel strips can now be further collapsed
Faster plug-in scanning
Many more usability improvements throughout the application

Formats: AAX, VST3, VST, MAS

Hmmm . . . well, it seems kinda flaky. It's not working as reliably as my authentic VEP 6 install. It crashes every time I attempt to load one of my existing server projects. If I set up a *new project, it seems to work, but crashes when I attempt to save . . . LOL. I wonder if we'll need a V.R. Rev. 2, 3, etc. . . *Smile.

**EDIT**

A couple hours later . . .

Seems to be working reliably now. I still can't load old server projects -- it complaines that it can't find a license. However, creating new server projects works well and I'm no longer experiencing program crashes when saving.

That's interesting. VEP including the identity of the project creater makes sense but how does it check if it's licensed? Does it call home on the internet? And does it do it with all of these k'ed installs? If it doesn't check it via net each time you open a project, does it save the identity only in elicenser manager locally? What happens if you save a project in your home pc and want to open it in the studio's pc (in both installed a licensed VEP of different owner)?

Anyway, in your case, what if you save Channel Set in your legit VEP, start a new, clean project in this k'ed version and load that Channel Set there?

Hey man, i thought this release was not working at all!

Almost 3 months later, can you please tell me if it's still working for you, if you have encountered some issues, etc etc ? Thanks


I was checking the official VEpro website...300 euros are nothing, when the guy is working in hollywood or is making music as a full time job...
But for the other 'people'....
Also, it only comes with 3 licenses.. the goal of having such app is making all kinds of experiments, with several machines, virtual computers with different Os, trying different daws, different setups, etc etc.
3 licenses, we're quickly out of licenses, and as i checked their website, no way to buy additional licenses. The user has used the 3 licenses on 3 slaves ? Just buy another VEpro , for another 300 euros, for another 3 licenses.
They would sell this at 99 bucks, with 10 bucks for each new license, they would have 10 times more customers. But again, because most users have no issues with money, they charge whatever they want :)


In advance, thank you for your reply.

ohh YES! this program is so important in my setup.

i'm going on a mission to tell everyone that they have lots of little old machines that would love to stick around and keep contributing DSP. I have 3 underpowered machines linked together right now and it works like a dream. i don't care much about latency-- i'm doing highly edited/programmed stuff and if i want latency low enough to play live, i just disable some instruments and change the latency in VEP settings. you can get it to near-realtime.

seriously, this is probably the program i've wanted to see most for the last year. thank you so much, VR, Mordi. I really hope this version is solid, but if it isn't, i'm still very, very happy with the version 5 you gave us.

The beauty of this is that these old fart machines don't even need to have any sound card installed. However a good and reliable gigabit ethernet card is required.
  Member 6.04.2018 159

this really should be emphasized for newcomers.

no sound card needed on any slave machine! i just use an older netgear gigabit router to join all the participating computers and it works very well. a better router, better ethernet cards, and maybe even better ethernet cables would probably make a difference too.

it's pretty amazing tech. an old, unused computer becomes a dedicated virtual instrument/fx rack with about an hour of setup.

i mean, i could really go nuts cobbling old computers together and sticking them in the network. but for now, 3 is good enough...

Anyone experience crashing on win 10 ?

I got crashes on autosave, sometimes without doing anything.

Tried with run as administrator, turning off antivirus, none of that helped.
  Resident 29.07.2013 257

Yah, it’s a little bit flaky. It’s working about 89% for me. I’m not sure you can really trust it for any serious project(s). I can’t do without my iLok dongle, but I’m sick of the eLicenser taking up USB resources on my laptop. At present, I’m using a passive USB 3.0 hub to keep my iLok, eLicenser and a third USB stick connected. The 3rd one is for my Waves, PA, Overloud and etc. licenses. The problem is, I have to keep my audio nterface connected and sometimes a midi keyboard. Things start to bog down — especially in more demanding projects. What’s worse is that my keyboard(s) will lose connection or my audio interface will start to crap out — when I have too many USB peripherals simultaneously connected.

I really, really, really would like to be free of the eLicenser dongle. I’m not a Cubase user so I pretty much only need the eLicenser for VEP 6. Pleeeaase Team VR, refine this crack even more and take it across the finish line.

As regards the crashes when saving, I think I’ve found a workaround. I create a new, blank VEP server project and save it immediately, before adding VSTs. Afterward, I can add VIs and save the existing (new) project WITHOUT crashes. If I add instruments or FX first, and then try to “Save As”, it will crash every time. So . . .SAVE BLANK PROJECT FIRST, THEN ADD KONTAKT INSTRUMENTS, FX, and etc. I hope it helps you; it’s been ‘more or less’ working for me.

There may be some registry issue in your case, I wasn't able to reproduce this crash on my underpowered test bed, Paralleled windows 7 64-bit.
How did you install this k'ed version over the legit? What if in registry it left some data from the legit and it causes conflict?
or as you said, when choosing Save As, some disk accessing problem. When did it happen exactly? After you choosing Save As, or when you clicked Save after the Save As window had appeared and you had given the name and location?

or when you open the existing project, check in Edit>Project Settings the Multiprocessing part.
There must be clearly something about saved configuration differences between the old and the new install.
There can be several causes. But as you mentioned, connecting the dongles and an USB drive with the licenses in the same passive USB hub with the audio interface... even if it's USB3, you should get a powered hub (I understand that it can be inconvenient using it with a laptop on the go). However, if you used the same configuration with the legit VEP and worked fine, that may be the less probable cause here.

If there is no other choice but opening new projects, I really recommend you Saving Channel Set from the existing project, as I mentioned earlier, as it saves your time avoiding rebuild the whole set of instruments and effects and buses again.

Also check the Auto-save time interval in Preferences, leave it off (0 minute), if it wasn't already.

Edit:
oh wait... if you overwrote your legit version with this, you can't go back and open your projects in the legit VEP and save the Channel Set. That's bad. Only if you had the system working somewhere with the legit version.

Hi. Yes, I installed over legit (same build).
I was able to easily install legit again on top of VR too. Legit vesion worked flawlessly. Dumb man I am, I forgot to save channel sets.

The crash happens after clicking “Save” (if its a new project) or “Save as”. The crash doesn’t happen immediately - it occurs DURING the save process. This does not happen if I save while it’s still a new, blank VEP project. It also saves without crashing if I save existing (k’d version) projects.

The crashes while saving new projcts (unless I save a BLANK new project and add to it afterward) is not a huge deal breaker for me. Overall, VR’s release is working ok — not perfectly, but ok. Thankfully, it’s working well enough for me to eliminate the necessity of my eLicenser dongle, for the most part.

I’ve considered investing in a good quality powered USB 3.0 hub, but from my research, i’d Have to buy an expensive one. Apparently most of the more affordable ones crap out easily.

one more curiosity:
Did the crash happen in both – standalone and server – apps?
  Member 15.11.2018 54

So then, Mac version isn't cracked, therefore.. I'll install that eLicenser latest , and then install the VSL Vienna Ensemble Pro v6.0.17011 CE on a windows machine to use as a server, however on the mac, where do we get the AU VE Pro plugin ? New to this but very interested, Thanks !

slowly starting to understand, 6ixcore posted that link for the Mac Client, cool, gonna look at this deeply this weekend, trying the Jeen wineskin workaround with Reaper and Vienna as a vst inside, jack osx ported into Logic X with the fab use of the template included, wow, this is geeky, love it !

I have VEPro 5 k'ed version. Maybe that could be reason too ?
I dont think its the problem that Sniv is having legit version besides this. I get same behavior on my win 10
  Resident 31.01.2017 631
+184
I was able to load existing project created on k'ed VEP5 with no problem, however I only tested it in the standalone app, and only on win7 (as my other, paralleled win10 was accidentally installed in 32-bit)
One thing to mention, when installing the new 6 version, it required installing the new version of eLicenser control setup, even if I've already had one for the version 5.
  Member 5.11.2017 7

Does your VEPro 6 server works without crash ?

Test and let us know.

My standalone works too but server is what we all use to get connected with DAW i guess.
  Resident 31.01.2017 631
+184
Yeah, I know that only server app can be used in DAW (except W.i.n.e workaround by Jeen for mac users). Why I tested it in standalone was because I was lazy.
Now I just checked it again, well, first of all, I didn't uninstall VEP5, ran the installer of the 6 above it. It went ok, only I had to reinstall eL. control setup of the new version. The result is that there is a confusion in VEP's folder, there remained one old application with 64bit in the name. VEP6 calls 32 and 64 version without referring to the bit version, the two apps have identical name in its folder in different location, regarding to x86 or x64.
The old app still runs but there is no old plugins to operate with it and the new plugins don't allow running version 5 server instances.

Ok, so what you experiences, I can't reproduce because I didn't find any old DAW-projects saved that included VEP plugin. I only found old projects saved in old VEP. These opened just fine (except the Kontakt plugins are different now as I put Portable. When it opens and a plugin is missing, it simply skip it from the set but doesn't ruin the whole project, nor crashes.

Did you try the option in File menu in VEP that's called "Convert Server Project to Vienna Instrument Pro..."?

Thank you very much for posting this great software!
Do I still need a vienna key to use it as a server with my mac ?

I managed to patch the "Synsoacc.dll" file using "R2R Kawa-eLicenser" but it still ask me for a license.

There is no way but buying a license on Vienna Website right ?

You have to use the server app, not the standalone for VEP. So, open Vienna Ensemble Pro Server app, then load the VSTi plugin called Vienna Ensemble Pro (VSL) and there choose "new", a new VEP project. Or you can create and save VEP projects (instances) in the server app as well, there you see an ugly grey square button with the plus sign on top left of the window, click on it.
If you save a project in your DAW with VEP instances loaded, next time you only need to start the VEP server app first (you can leave it empty, don't need to load anything there, because your DAW will manage to load the saved VEP instance just fine.
