Features in Vienna Instruments PRO 2

The Vienna Instruments PRO 2 player loads all of your existing and future Vienna Instruments sample collections.†

While the current Vienna Instruments Player is still included as free software with any Vienna Instruments Collection, Vienna Instruments PRO 2 is available as an optional download. One Vienna Instruments PRO 2 purchase comes with 3 licenses for running the software on up to 3 computers at the same time.

• Enabling/Disabling of Cells – Load huge presets with hundreds of VOLUME CONTENTS in no time, and without taxing your RAM. Specific VOLUME CONTENTS get loaded only when you “enable” their cells with a simple double-click. Disable cells to clear samples from RAM, while keeping all patch settings intact.
• Auto Cell Naming – Easily identify all loaded VOLUME CONTENTS by their cell names.
• Auto Humanization – Assign appropriate performance accuracy settings to all of your loaded VOLUME CONTENTS at once.
• Enveloped Time Stretching – Easily determine which part of an articulation should be manipulated and adjust the speed of a portamento or the attack of a staccato.
