Vienna Symphonic Library have released Vienna Ensemble 3. They tell us that 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, they say that 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.
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). Vienna Ensemble 2 is available as a free download for registered users of any Vienna Instruments Collection.
Downloading the demo of Vienna Ensemble 3 requires at least one registered Vienna Instruments collection. The demo can only be obtained before the purchase of the full version and runs without any functional restrictions for 30 days/30 starts.
Features

• Custom-made for hosting Vienna Instruments.
• Stand-alone application, ideal for running Vienna Instruments on external Macs and PCs (interchangeably): 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.
• No audio interfaces, no MIDI interfaces on your additional computers (slaves) – all you need is Ethernet with a Gigabit connection.
• No third party software to send audio and MIDI data between computers.
• Launch as many Vienna Ensemble 3 instances on the slave computer as you need (depending on the slave's RAM), each with 16 MIDI tracks to instantiate your Vienna Instruments plug-ins.
• Route back a maximum of 16 stereo tracks per Vienna Ensemble 3 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.
