Something similar here.

Insert an instance of VE5 in logic, assign it to my Slave and plays/record fine.

Then, insert Event Input in a new track and assign it 2 channel to the same slave /instance and the disaster begins... no midi info goes to Slave instance, ONLY SOUND WHEN PLAYBACK OR RECORD! 

 I've built 3 new different templates and always the same bug!

Please, help!

Here's a screencast of the problem:

Very strange to me. I've been working with logic an VE4 for a long time and never had this kind of problem. Seems like Logic dont send the midi info to VE5, or Ve5 is no capable to receive that info. I'll try with a Nuendo demo, but, it isn't a solution.

It seems more a problem with Vienna Event input as the track has VE5 instance ever works.

Is Logic+VEP5 working fine otherwise, without using the Input plugins? It's the main reason I'm holding before upgrading here. I've seen the screencast on YouTube and it's indeed very strange.

When I think of it, the symptom is quite similar to my issue with some repetition matrices (MIDI events are clearly being sent, but no sound).

It does work fine if you use it like VEP4 but as was mentioned above if you use the input plugin you have to keep going back to the connect track to reactivity it by playing something.  Using the I/o plugin actually made no difference at all.  I can't see how this made it past testing.

I am not sure you english is correct :) but I understand you.  The rally has nothing to do with hardware, it is just the software.  Perhaps the i/o plugin was what they though fixed this.  

I use my Event Input track set to ALL instead of seperate channels, but that won't make a difference and it shouldn't.  My controller is decding the xmit channel, not Logic for the way I work.  Regardless the result is the same...no sound untill you reactivate the linked track by playing something.  I'll see if anything else works.

I figured out one part that got it functioning.  You need to put the i/o plugin on the MAIN track, not the input event tracks, but you also have to assign an output to it (I picked out 3/4 but it doesn't matter), then bypass it.  This is what causes the i/o plugin to actually 'activate' and it keeps the stream running between VEP and the plugin.

However, this introduced a new problem.  All is well as long as the transport ISN'T running.  Once you enter record or playback it is hit or miss if it picks up on what you are playing.  It also began to cause CPU spikes in Logic which I've never gotten before with VEP...fix one problem get another.  

EDIT:  Another pass and I didn't have any more spikes, but there sounds like a 'doubling' of the sound too (you can hear the phasing) during playback.  It isn't there when the transport isn't running.  All I did was record onto this one track.

EDIT 2:  This new issue is only on the EVENT INPUT tracks.  Using the track with just the VEP plugin works as expected.

Just look two postings above. (Karel is our main developer for VE PRO 5)

Did you see my reply above that had the solution for the i/o plugin?  Give that a shot and see how it performes on your setup.  

I'll do whatever you guys want to help get to the bottom of this.  I will clarify that I amusing a dedicated network for VEP too so there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the setup, just strange behavior.

Hello Chris ,

I haven't downloaded/installed VEP5 yet ,  so I'm speculating here , but this 'doubling'  effect &  the 'spikes' sound like a MIDI-Loop ,

something that also occurs with Logic when using IAC-MIDI-Busses .

So maybe the same issue occurs here too ?

( For those who are interested how to get rid of the MIDI-Loop issue when using IAC Busses with Logic I've described that a while ago
