This mixing and host software incorporates the first all-in-one MIDI and audio LAN solution that works universally on Macs and PCs. Developed exclusively for Vienna Instruments, it makes conducting your orchestra over a network a breeze. Run your sequencer on your main computer, launch Vienna Ensemble 3 on the slave computer, and simply connect them using an Ethernet cable. With the sequencer on your main computer and Vienna Ensemble 3 with Vienna Instruments plug-ins on your slave computer, you can easily route the audio streams of a whole arsenal of computers back to your main machine and mix where your effect plug-ins are installed. The Vienna Instruments plug-ins preserve your main computer’s CPU capacities – the computing (including GUI rendering) and streaming from hard disk is done on the slave computer. Of course, Vienna Ensemble 3 includes all of the features of its free predecessor Vienna Ensemble 2, e.g., Power Panning. Use this CPU-friendly feature to position your instruments in your personal orchestral templates and make use of the flexible routing system Vienna Ensemble provides for you.
One Vienna Ensemble 3 product comes with 3 licenses, so you can set up a network of up to 4 computers (one host and 3 slaves, provided there's no stand-alone version of Vienna Ensemble 3 running on your main computer).
Installing Vienna Ensemble 3 replaces any installed version of Vienna Ensemble 2 on your computer. All functions of Vienna Ensemble 2 remain available with version 3, including the stand-alone mode to run Vienna Ensemble 3 and your sequencer or notation software on the same computer (DAW).
