Please...please add this.....

When Logic crashes none of the VE PRO's on the mac release their connections.  This means we have to reload just because it does not disconnect.  The pc's over the network do release but not the MAC.

On a friends machine running Nuendo......when Nuendo crashes NOTHING disconnects.  He has to reload his entire template which takes more than 30 Minutes.

Please had a disconnect button so if our sequencers crash we can simply hit the disconnect and leave everything loaded and quickly reconnect our sequencers.

Thanks

Yes.... everything is in decouple mode on my Logic system and my friends Nuendo system.  If the sequencer crashes many do not release.  This is a huge problem.  If there can be a way to force VE PRO to disconnect all with a button per se then one can go about and just reload the crash sequence very quickly.  As it stands now it is a big problem and huge time killer.

I'd like to add my vote for this one, a disconnect function would be great.

Hi everybody,

this feature is already on our to-do-list and we hope that it will be integrated in the next major update of VE PRO.

Best,

Martin, that's good news. Does this mean that if the sequencer crashes and closes, the button will be on the server interface, or will we have to open each VE Pro instance and manually click all of them?

I am dying for this feature as well.  I have a slave computer that has 12gigs of ram and is loaded up with 11.3 gigs of samples basically covering a majority of my template.  It takes about 50 minutes to fully load my metaframe on this machine.

 My main machine is quite stable, however it does crash from time to time.  When it does, because I don't have a force disconnect feature on the server, I am forced to unload and exit that whole 11.3 gigs of samples which seems to take about 10 minutes to fully unload that metaframe without force quitting.  Loading that meta frame back up takes almost 50 minutes.  All of this just because we cannot manually disconnect projects when we want/need to.  I have at least 1 hour stolen from my day if I have a crash now.  I don't ANYONE that could deem that as acceptable.

I am a very busy composer and do NOT have time to reload my full orchestra every time my main machine has a crash.  This is the whole reason why I've went with VE Pro in the first Place!!!

 I also think that somehow connecting the force disconnect to the delete project function would do nothing to help this situation.  Think about it.....The whole point is that I do not want to have to delete or unload the VE Pro Projects when my Main Machine crashes.  I need to disconnect without deleting or unloading ANYTHING from my metaframe.

Thanks you all at VSL for your groundbreaking products.  I couldn't make music without you!

Thanks for your reply DG.  My slave machine is a new i7 quad processor with triple channel memory under windows 7.  My metaframe is very complex but maybe it should load faster, however..... I believe that to be irrelevant to the core of this situation with all due respect.  

My main concern is that if we get a force disconnect feature, it should not be attached to deleting a project.  I need to disconnect a loaded project and keep it loaded for best workflow and time managment.  If my main machine goes down, I would like to be able to just go to the VE PRO server select each project, force disconnect on each, and have them ready to be reconnected immediately once my main machine is back up.  Is there a technical problem that would prevent this from being possible?  if so, i would be curious as to what it may be.

Thank you!
