  • Legacy MIR 1860 not opening VI-Players

    I encounter the following problem: When opening Legacy MIR 1860, selecting "Add Instrument" and choosing "Vienna Instruments Pro", an instrument-icon is put on the stage. However, when trying to "open" the player, nothing happens. When selecting "Add instrument" and choosing "Vienna Instruments", the very old VI-Player in the old fashioned design (which was abandoned about a year ago) appears.

    I assumed that the latest versions of the VI-Players maybe no longer work with legacy MIR; therefore I installed the versions before (VI-Pro 2.3.11859). Same result - Legacy MIR does not "open" VI-Pro.

    What happened here?

    Kind regards,

    Dirk

    Newer versions of VI Pro are simply not supported in Legacy MIR, you will have to use MIR Pro.

    Dear Martin,

    thank you for your answer, which I'd like to comment on as follows:

    I'm already using MIR Pro/VE Pro 5 in recent projects. Therefore my intention is not to keep on working with Legacy MIR, but to transfer projects - to be exact: the individual patches, matrices and presets used - from old Legacy MIR to MIR Pro/VE Pro 5. To do this, I have to be able to open my old projects in Legacy MIR, see what I have been using there and build it the same way (by hand) in MIR Pro/VE Pro 5.

    This procedure went fine until last week (!) with the Version 2.3.11859 of VI Pro - the one before the current version -, which was recognised by Legacy MIR. After updating to the current version, Legacy MIR failed to open any version of VI Pro still available in the user area. Neither version 2.3.11859 nor version 1.1.8008 works; though both versions used to work fine - until last week. That is why I have to ask again: What has happened here?

    Is there a way to help me out? Maybe you can send me a version of VI Pro that (still) works with Legacy MIR, so I can finish my transfer-work? Otherwise (almost) everything I have done with Legacy MIR is lost...[:(] 

    Thank you for help,

    Dirk

     Dear Dirk,

    I've already asked Martin to look into it again. There must be a way to open existing projects again, of course.

    Thanks for your patience ...
