  • VE Pro 5 problem with Digital Performer 8 (Windows)

    Hi all,

    I am having the strangest problem with getting VE Pro5 to work with Digital Performer. I am using 2 PC's, both running WIndows 7 Pro, using one for my DAW, the other one as a slave for sample libraries with VE.

    My setup works great with Samplitude, Studio One, Sonar, Pro Tools and Reaper, but when I am trying Digital Performer 8, VE Pro keeps starting and stopping the engine when I am trying to play back, causing serious problems. It also goes into MIXDOWN mode when I am trying to play back. Very strange, never happens in any of the other programs. I have tried different buffer settings, decoupling and everything else I could think of, but no luck. It even does this with an empty instance of VE. I called MOTU to ask if this was a known problem, but they had never heard of it. They just referred me to Vienna instead. While it is clearly a DP related problem...

    Anyone able to shed some light into this? Anything I can do, like a setting in DP?

    Thanks.... Frank

    You will habe to turn oft pre-rendering in the audio Plugin settings. On a side note, next update of VEPro adds a MAS plugin, which improves operation in DP considerably, adding multiple midi ports, tighter timing and proper latency compensation.

    Thanks! It took me a while to figure out how to do this, but I just put the plugin in Live mode and that seemed to work... Some more testing to do, but so far so good. Yes a MAS plugin would really help, thanks!

    YES!!! Thank you so much for this! This is huge! Thanks for caring about us Digital Performer users. You just made a lot of us very happy!

    No more waiting on Apple to upgrade the AU spec. No more wanting VST3 in DP. This will make things way more efficient.

    Way to go guys. Wow.

    Thank you

    Paul - I downloaded the new update, installed it, and then opened VEPro and DP. When I opened my DP template the previous AU instances didn't load. I opened my saved metaframe and all of the instances loaded. Before connecting them in DP, I could see all of the now available MIDI ports in DP. I connected to the instances and everything worked. I even put some instruments on different MIDI ports and that worked. I did this without loading the MAS version of the plugin in DP. Did VEPro somehow already open/convert the instances as MAS instances?

    In other words, everything just worked without me having to select the MAS version of the VEPro Ensemble Pro, or de-select the AU version in DP. All I had to do was re-connect the instances. 

    Are these MAS instances, or do I need to merge projects from an AU instance to a MAS instance and then aim my midi tracks to the new instance? Or has this already been taken care of by VEPro?

    Thanks!
