Matrix Tab

The Matrix Tab finally introduces micro-tuning! Choose from many 12-step scales and add your own 12-step scales, if you like. Additionally, a 3-band EQ is available for each matrix! As all functions are only affecting the selected matrix, you can switch between different tunings by switching between Matrices!

Digital audio workstation interface showing the Matrix tab for micro-tuning, with a 12-tone scale option, piano key display for selection, and an equalizer graph.
  1. Scale menu: Click to select a 12-step Scala tuning to load. Supplied factory Scala files are installed to the following locations:
  • macOS: Library\Application Support\VSL\Vienna Instruments Pro\Scales
  • Win: C:\ProgramData\VSL\Vienna Instruments Pro\Scales
  • You may add or edit 12-step Scala files in this location.
  1. Pin Scales: Toggling this button will apply the selected scale to all matrices.

  2. Scale Editor:

  • Shows current tuning shifts (in cents) of an octave.
  • Click on a value and drag to adjust
  • Adjusted scales cannot be saved separately, but will be saved with a matrix/preset.
  1. Matrix Equalizer:
  • Three bands of equalization, using the Vienna Suite algorithms.
  • Click-drag a point to set frequency/gain.
  • Control-drag a point to change Q.
  • Double-click a point to reset to default gain.
  • Use mouse-wheel on a selected point to change its Q.
  1. EQ On/Off button: Enables the current EQ setting for current matrix. It’s On and reset by default.

  2. Zoom button: Pops up a larger version of equalizer.

  3. MIDI Dump (also below Matrix List in BASIC View): Click MIDI DUMP and the current Matrix Selection, Cell Position, A/B Position, Sequencer Root Key and Scale Type of the selected Vienna Instruments PRO Interface will be dumped to the record-enabled track in your sequencer as MIDI information.

  4. Sequencer: Switches to Sequencer View

  5. On/Off: Enables/Disables Sequencer
