Hello VSL and community,
Can you help? I need to be able to control VEP6 slave Kontakt instrument parameters from Cubase (on my master Mac) and from my MIDI keyboard.
So, I have VEP6 installed on a slave and host, with Nuendo 7 running on the host.
I have several Kontakt string libraries setup in the VEP6 slave, and have created a master template in Cubase and the string libraries each have a Vienna Ensemble 6 instance connected to the Kontakt libraries on the slave.
So far so good and working fine.
However, I have found that by having one VEP6 Instance for each sample library, and then having a Cubase track for each instrument in the library connected using VEP6 Event Input, that this seems to be the best way to avoid VEP6 crashing or freezing and also seems to use the lowest amount of memory on the slave.
One problem with using Event Input sdeems to be that I can no longer control Kontakt or instrument volume or any other instrument parameter from Cubase or Cubase track automation, or indeed my MIDI keyboard (which is an NI Komplete Kontakt S88). The only parameter that works is modulation.
I am guessing that there is a way to setup VEP6 to allow the Kontakt instrument parameters to be changed in real-time and also in playback mode, but despite looking through the VEP6 manual and also Cubase's manual, I cannot find how to do this. Hopefully that all makes sense.
So, can someone help me please?
Many thanks,
Jonathan
