I am currently using Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 with Finale V26 (on an iMacPro)

I have been using one VEP Instance (with 16 Instruments)

But now I need to use more than 16 active connected instruments, and have no idea how to do this in Finale

Is there a step-by-step setup procedure for this program.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated
:oops:

Perhaps a question on the Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 web site or their technical support would get a better resolution than the Finale forum.

It's really not much different than setting up the first instance.

In VEP, create and name a second instance; add the instruments you want
In the Finale Score Manager go to the new instrument(s), change the Bank to 2
Click the Edit instrument button and connect to the new instance in VEP
Remember that these will be channel 17-32
