Hello all - Simple question. If I need multiple instances of VEP in Finale 25 do I need to use the Event Input Plugin as is the norm for AU based hosts, or is there a Sibelius type Sound Set feature that makes it possible to host multiple instances?

For consistency I'd like to use an AU based VEP template that's a replica of my Digital Performer MAS based template, which between VI Pro, LASS and MIR requires at least 8-10 ports and 4 instances of VEP.

I realize this is a question for the Finale folks but many people over there don't seem to know much about VEP, and it's a simple question for anyone here that uses Finale.

Thanks!

Great! So this must be simple. In Finale do I change the Program or Bank number to 2 to get my 2nd instance of VEP, then Bank 3 MIDI 1-16, for my 3rd instance etc..? Is that all?

[UPDATE]: I figured out that bank numbers allowed me to setup different MIDI ports/Instances.

One more question. I recently purchased the VSL Wagner Tuba full lib, and I installed as I do every other library, but instead of showing up in VI Pro underneath "- C - Brass PRESET Files, it's located under "- D - Downloaded Instruments - PRESET - Files". Is there any way to get the Wagner Tuba to show up in the Brass directory? All my other VSL libs show up properly in VI Pro. Is there something I should do in the Vienna Instruments Direcrory Manager? There wasn't anything obviousl that I saw that would make this happen.

Thanks again Andi!

Hello Steve!

The Woodwinds and Brass standard single instruments appear under "D - Downloaded Instruments", while the full instruments and Instrument collections appear under "B - Woodwinds" or "C - Brass". This can't be changed.

Best,
Andi
