Over 900 MIRx pre-configured placements and EQ settings for your instruments, precisely adjusted and perfectly seated in a concert hall or scoring stage. MIRacle plug-in – Direct access to a tailor-made algorithmic global reverb for “sweetening”. Works with any commonly used sampling frequency, up to 192 kHz.
Four-channel Ambisonics recordings for output in various stereo and surround formats (up to 8 output channels). Adjustable Room Tone (natural noise floor). Character Presets (such as ‘Air’, ‘Silk’, ‘Bite’, ‘Distant’, ‘Warm’) for quick timbral changes, available for most Vienna Instruments. Click-free auto-guessing of Instrument Profiles for Vienna Instruments (if used within Vienna Ensemble Pro – not available for plug-in version). Multiple wet signal busses allow for individual RoomEQ settings for different signal sources. Intuitive multi-parameter MIR Control Icon with direct access to the connected audio source and visual feedback. GUI options such as Instrument Grouping, Hide Icon, Instrument Focus. Reverb length can be changed individually for each microphone position. Highly specialized impulses of line arrays in 60° steps in six horizontal directions as well as upwards and downwards. Up to 40 sectors per stage for instrument placement, with interpolation between sectors for seamless transitions. Microphone Position Offset allowing for movement of virtual microphones in the room. Pre-listening function before selecting a room. Graphical user interface depicting 3D renderings of the selected room (venue maps) with scroll wheel zooming. Hosting Vienna Instruments and 3rd party 64-bit VSTi plug-ins. Up to 5,000 individually recorded impulse responses for each room, depending on the size of the stage and the number of microphone positions. #Vienna ensemble pro upgrade to 6 rtas software
Mixing & Reverberation host software based on Multi Impulse Response Convolution. The Ambisonics format allows for seamless interpolation of each and every point within the available areas of the room. But you are not limited to those spots that were used for impulse recording in the first place. The software engine calculates all of this in real-time, and what you get is what you hear – a solo horn that sounds exactly as if it were playing on that very spot on stage. Equally important, the directivity characteristics of each instrument are applied before the convolution of impulses, making the result dependent on the frequency distribution and the volume an instrument is emitting in various directions. First of all, the position on stage triggers the selection of one or more sets of 8 impulses (6 for horizontal directions, 2 for upward and downward directions). Let’s look at what happens when you place a sound source, e.g., a solo horn, on Vienna MIR Pro’s virtual stage of a given concert hall.
What the industry has had up to now are single samples from an acoustic entity, whereas Vienna MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 is based on multi-samples with up to 5,000 individual impulse responses (IRs) per room. Do you think it would be sufficient to record a single Middle C to make for a convincing virtual instrument? No, you have to go for individual samples from as many keys as possible, captured in as many velocities as the human ear is able to distinguish.
Imagine the sound of a Bösendorfer Imperial Grand. Vienna MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 is multi-source, multi-directional, multi-positional, and multi-format.Įvery room has its own voice, with its own characteristics, its imperfections – its magic. Vienna MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 is much more than just “a multi-sample” of a hall – and this is where it far surpasses any other convolution reverb on the market. The software combines specific directional frequency profiles with reflectional information from every instrument, assembling all of the acoustic interactions into an accurate and satisfying recreation of musicians playing their instruments in place and in space. Get rid of two-dimensional faders and pan pots – simply use the innovative MIR Control Icon to change volume or stereo width and even rotate instruments within a fluid three-dimensional environment! More than Reverberation As opposed to traditional production, where the mixing console is often seen as a barrier between the music creator and the music environment, Vienna MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 offers an entirely new spatial concept, allowing the user to interact with the players more like a conductor than an engineer.
