Well, I found out my stuck note problems were to do with my MIDI patch bay (and possibly some LASS scripts) - all is well in VE Pro for me.

Hello

For Logic Users, It seems to have some deals with regions... Two region paste identically (for example if two flutes have to play the same part and you don't want to create and edit two regions rewriting the same midi data on both) seems to make some eeries interferences and vienna ensemble acting like it receive the same datas twice on the same region (very difficult to exaplain)

any way I've just erased the flute 2, the clarinet 2 and the basson 2 in order to rewrite those separately (without copy paste region) and now i haven't any stuck note...

One word WEIRD...If someone has experienced it yet i'm relly looking forward to read them.

Many thanks,

Regards

Up!

I got the same problem writing for bras section :

2 Bb Trumpets

1 trumpets a3

1C trumpet

2 Ternor tbrnes

1 Bass trbne

On logic pro 9.1 if i Playback only the 2 trumpets => OK

the 2 trumpets and the "a3" section => OK

All the trumpets (including "C"one)=>OK

All The brasses except Bass Trbne=>OK

All the brasses=> KO i got stucked note on the VI keyboard on my slave PC randomly on trbnes or trumpets.

To sum up it's going well if i choose to playbak 3 or 4 regions but not well if I playback all.

For information I set the buffer size to 1024 (got a PCI motu 24 i/o).

This is very wierd for midi regions really seems to interfers together (althought these are not on the same midi channel) for example i tried to playback only the two Bb Trumpets all the keyswitches react well (if i look to the patch section on the VI the articulations change at the right time and the keyboard has not a single key stucked)

but

if I playback all my regions the articulation on my Bb Trumpet seems to be messed and I have keys stucked (most of the time this is always the same key wich is stucked)

Do you think this has something to do with polyphony? Buffer? The buffer on my core audio is on max and indeed if i Go back to 512 it goes worst.

I don't know what to do,

Anyway thanks for taking time reading this awfull post.

Best regards

Do these stuck notes also occur when using 0 or 1 buffer of latency in the VE Pro Server Interface plugin?

Hello

I decided to go back from Logic 9.1 to cubase and i have no stucked notes anymore; don't konw if this is a common issue but it seems cubase handles much better orchestral mockups and templates than logic.

Therefore i only have one VEpro instance on my slave machine compared to the 4 opened when i was on Logic.

I keep logic for mix and audio editing but for Midi cubase is far better and much easy to use (folder tracks, midi port, several midi tracks editing in one windows...).

regards

For what it's worth...

When I first set up Logic and VEP I was getting quite a few pops glitches and hung notes until CRUCIALLY I disabled "Internet Sharing" in the OSX system preferences. I was using it to pass the internet connection from my master machine to the slave. But it seemed to f***k everything up. Now all our slaves are running totally offline with only one LAN connection for VEP running on its very own LAN cable with nothing else going down that cable.

We're running 2 slaves systems on Mac Pros with logic, running 240 tracks of (currently) Kontakt 4.1.1, Omnisphere, Massive, FXPansion Sysnthsquad. And they're really running pretty much flawlessly.

In our Logic template I've used the environment to add a special MIDI track for the very infrequent occasions when I get a hung note... This track has all note data removed (using transformers in the environment), and then passes everything else to EVERY midi channel on EVERY VEP instance (routed in the environment)!! This way, if there's ever a hung note, I just unmute the "all notes off" CC message which I keep in Bar -2 on this special "all VEP slaves" MIDI track, and BAM, it's gone. I also use this special "All VEP" track to send Modulation and Pitch Bend resets at the very start of every cue. This way if there's missing dynamics programming on a track, at least the playback results are always consistent.

(Very, very occasionally, I do have an issue with some Kontakt patches hanging _within_ Kontakt. This isn't cured by sending an "all notes off" message. I'm pretty sure this is in fact a bug in Kontakt, or possibly a bug in the scripting of specific patches. Although having said that, I don't think I've ever seen this behaviour when running Kontakt straight in Logic, so it may be related in some way to hosting Kontakt inside VEP. None the less, I've only experienced this maybe 2 times in 3 months, so it's no biggie.)

More useful info for Logic users... I find the following latency settings work best for us:

Audio Buffer: 128 or 256 samples (can be increased during mixing if necessary)

Process Buffer Range: Medium

VEP AU host Latency: 2 buffers

and one last thing. ALL professional Logic users MUST read this thread on the Apples forums about how the currently selected track in the arrange window is in "Live Input Mode" and the entired signal chain for that track runs on CPU core 8...
