Hi Gang,

VEPro is not reading any vst3 plugs on my Slave machine. I've checked my paths. Ther isn't much else to do. It's just not reading them.

Any suggestions?

Isn't that what VSL claims in the brochure?

Yeah, that's probably what they meant. Oh well, maybe in a future upgrade. Anyway, thanks DG. You saved me from bagging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.

The host plugin (in your DAW) is VST3. The slave software cannot load VST3 plugins. This is a shame because almost all plugins are VST3 nowadays. When you use a slave on your DAW system, like I do, you have to install both VST2 and 3 versions of your plugin otherwise nothing will show up in the VEP5 slave. I don't understand why Vienna doesn't implement VST3 support in their slave software. Shouldn't be that much work... 

Primarly for sample players? What about people, like me, who use VEP5 to offload VST/i ASIO performance to a slave host? I run all of my VSTi's and CPU heavy insert VST's on slaves. I'm not sure, but I don't think I'm the only one who wants to get the most out of it. Especialy in respect to ASIO performance. Offloading ASIO performance is the main reason I use VEP5. This way I reserve all my (Cubase) ASIO performance for the mixing stage.

Why woukd you only use sample players in VEP5? I'm quit shure NI Kontakt and Battery do have VST3 versions...

I see, NI users have the same problem:

Arguments like 'original designed for sample players' and 'mainly used for sample players' doesn't sound verry strong to me. It sounds like a disability to progress. Maybe because there is afaik no alternative for VEP5's functionality.

Don't get me wrong: I like VEP5 a lot and can't do without it. The only thing that botters me is that the selection of plugins could be much more user friendly as we can see in Cubase 8 nowadays (search field and a plugin manager to create user subsets of plugins, ordered the way you like).

In the mean time I'm looking for a VST container solution like Blue Cat Patchwork. But they also don't support VST3 and don't have a more advanced plugin selection solution. DDMF Metaplugin does have VST3 support but on first look no advanced plugin selection. So maybe it's not possible what I'm looking for.... ;-)

Looks promessing:

"You and right click on the “Plugins” folder to find sort options. Plugins can be sorted by Manufacturer, Alphabetically, by Category, by Plugin Format, or in the same way your tier your plugin folders in your system.
Additionally, you can search for plugins using the search bar at the bottom of the browser."

I don't think it loads VSTi but there much less then VST's.

How portable are the created configs? Is it as easy as copying a file to another DAW?

Regards,
