  • VEPRO on slave connected VSTi to SONAR PC no sound

     VE on slave connected VSTi to SONAR 8.5 on PC works.

    VE PRO slave connect VSTi to SONAR 8.5 allows the instrument to be select, sounds from the VEPRO keyboard, vol. meters jump on SONAR project on master computer. But no sound on master and once an attempt is made to run the project, the keyboard on the VEPRO window

    freezes up and nothing works from that point on.

    I wouldn't mind just working with the VE connection , however, my VSL samples are about 12 cents sharp to the other samples I'm using. VEPRO has a master tuner function which VE doesn't appear to have.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jim,

    please make sure that you are using the same (latest) versions of VE PRO on both machines. Also, please use the same MIDI and audio settings for both.

    Hope that helps!

  •  Hello Paul,

    I did not have the latest versions on both computers.  In fact, I didn't even think I needed VEPRO installed on the XP PC Sonar side. But, I had installed it anyway.  I also discovered that the Ve Pro on the Vista machine had been licensed but there was no other license for Ve Pro.

    To clarify the data situation: All of my sampes are on drives located on the Vista 64 bit computer. (8 Gigs RAM).  My sequencer is on the XP PC with 2 gigs. My intention was to run sonar on the XP and use Ve Pro as a VSTi to load my VSL samples into the sonar projects.

    However, in an effort to also test notion3 software with Special Edition, I licensed the SE instruments associated with the XP even though the samples were physically located on the Vista by way lan mapped drives. (that worked fine, by the way except that I had to swap the dongle into the XP computer.)

    This brings me to my questions: (1) I have downloaded the latest version of VE PRO to the XP PC. Apparently I need to install it on the master PC? Also, I have registered the second copy on VSL site but I haven't licensed it as yet. Do I install it first and then license it? And (2) to which computer will it be associated on the key? I only have one key and since all of my samples are on one computer, I wouldn't be able to work a Sonar project using samples from multiple vendors if the licenses are split between both computers.

    It's obvious that I'm confused with regard to the licensing situation. I would appreciate it if you could get me straight about that.

    Thanks,

    Jim Ferguson


  •  Hi Paul,

    Your assesment was correct. The conflicting versions of VePro were the problem. I uninstalled all of the lower version, including a few extra .dlls and it worked great. Also, the master tuning is crucial and it works. That's good Futher, I loaded some samples from another vendor that worked perfectly, so far.

    The software never required any additional licensing so I didn't bother about that.

    I would like to move the SE licenses from the XP master to the Vista slave and if I decide to use Notation3, I'll install it out on the Vista.

    So, how do I get the SE licenses, that are connected with the XP PC changed over to the Vista PC?

    Thanks,

    Jim Ferguson


  • Hello Jim,

    glad to hear it worked!

    To move licenses from one key to another, simply connect 2 keys to a computer with internet connection and drag them from one key to the other.

  •  Hello Paul,

    My Special Edition, Special Edition L2 and Vienna Ensemble player are licensed to a different USB-eLicenser # but all of my Vienna samples are on the same computer. I only have one key that I used on both computers. All of the licenses are on the same key. But, I can't see them on the same screen together to make any kind of transfer.

    What do I do next?

  • Hello Jim,

    this is getting a bit hard to follow, with your mails to support AND posts in the forum. Let´s keep it on the mail level. 

    Generally, you cannot transfer a license without a second key.
