Algorithmic Reverb

The built-in Algorithmic Reverb is simple, yet effective. It is switched off by default, to make your transition from the original Vienna Instruments easier. You'll be surprised how good this reverb sounds with minimal CPU power consumption!

  1. Reverb Graph:
  • Click-drag to simultaneously set Wet/Dry level and tail time.
  • Click-drag horizontal handle to set Wet/Dry level.
  • Click-drag vertical handle to set tail time.

  1. Tail time: Click-drag to set tail time

  2. Damp: Click-drag to set reverb damping

  3. Wet/Dry Level: Click-drag to set reverb wet/dry level

  4. Reverb Selection: Switches between None/Algorithmic/MIRx Reverb

  5. Bypass: Bypasses the selected Reverb Type

MIRx – Mixing Reverb Extension

MIRx takes the expertise we could gather from working with Vienna MIR PRO and applies it to this comfortable Impulse Response Reverb, with the most essential positioning for all symphonic instruments.

Enjoy a simple way to establish a prefect mix with the right balance between all your instruments.

Caution

MIRx Venues are available as separate products, they are not included with Vienna Instruments PRO! More information is available in the MIRx manual in MyDownloads

  1. Instrument Position Display:
  • Displays the position of the selected instrument in the selected venue
  • Position in venue depends on the selected Profile

  1. Venue: Choose from various venues, depending on your purchased license(s)

  2. Profile:

  • Choose from orchestral seating and solo seating for the loaded instrument.
  • If more than one instrument is loaded, multiple profiles will be available.
  • Only one profile can be selected for each VI PRO instance!
  • Only profiles for loaded instruments will be available
  • General Purpose profiles are available for all instruments
  1. Use Natural Volume:
  • Enable to set the right balance between all instruments
  • The amount of volume reduction is displayed in dB to the right
  • Remember that the volume reduction is in relation to the very loudest instrument in the orchestra
  • Consult the Natural Volume list in the MIRx manual for more details!
  1. Pre-EQ:
  • Enabled: Automatically applies tailor-made EQ settings to the selected profile
  • EQ is added before reverberation
  • Alternatively, you can use the built-in Matrix Equalizer (see Matrix Tab in Advanced View)
  1. Synchronize:
  • Synchronizes all Vienna Instruments PRO instances in the same host that have a checked Synchronize box
  • Synchronization starts with first parameter change after activation
  • Hosts:
    • Vienna Instruments PRO plug-ins in your sequencer
    • Vienna Ensemble servers (32/64 bit separately)
    • Vienna Ensemble PRO servers (32/64 bit separately)
  1. MIRx Settings:
  • Default Venue: Choose your Default Venue, when activating MIRx
  • Latency: MIRx relies on convolution processes, which is why the engine has its own latency settings to optimize CPU load.
    As a rule of thumb, more latency means less CPU load, but there are two numbers to be taken into account here, namely the host buffer size (as reported by your audio system drivers) and the MIRx latency setting. The latter should either be 0 (which is usually ideal) or a number greater the host buffer size.
    MIRx latency below or equal to the host buffer size will yield sub-par results.

  1. MIRX Wet Slider:
  • Adjusts the amount of wet signal added by MIRx.
  • Default setting: 63
