  • VE Pro... some basic configuration questions

    Hi there,

    Sorry for the basic setup questions, but I didn't quite find the answer I was looking for in searching the forums, and the manual PDF didn't seem to address my issues.

    I'm planning on running instances of VE Pro on multiple slave computers, controlled via a Master running Logic 9.  So far, I'm able to link up a single instance of VE Pro on my slave, running a single Kontakt instrument, with a single VE Pro AU plugin on Logic--so in other words, I've got 16 channels of MIDI working.

    However, my end goal is to max out each of these slaves with the full 512 instruments (or however many my RAM can handle).  What's the basic setup for doing this?  Do I:

    1) create a single instance of VE Pro with 32 Kontakt instruments loaded, each with 16 MIDI channels?  or

    2) create 32 instances of VE Pro, each with a single 16-channel Kontakt instrument loaded?

    If the answer is #1, then how do I control the MIDI for each of these 512 instruments?  And if the answer is #2, then does that mean that I have to have 32 software instruments loaded up in Logic, each with a VE Pro Instrument loaded that's connected to one of the corresponding 32 instances in VE Pro Server?

    Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.  Best,
