Hi Andi, 

Since VEPro stopped communicate with Finale after downloading the e-licenser version VEPro, I decided to download the present version of VEPro and hoping the communication problem were solved. However, it is still malfunction! Thanks for any help with this mess. 

Anders 

Hi again, 

I've done that now, but I can't get VEPro to communicate with Finale any longer. I've tried to restart VE and then Finale, but nothing works. When trying to reconnect in Audio Units the server window is blank. I tried to reassign in Score Manager, but without improvement. What to do? 

Anders 

Hi Andi, 

and thanks! However, when I started over with my project, setting up all buses, channels etc. I can't get my MIR Pro working - I guess I have to download a pre-iLok version of that too? 
Sigh... 

All the best, 

Anders 

Hi Andi, 

and thanks! But since I'm working on a piece which is urgent, - are there any possibility to get the older version of VEPro7, that is the pre-iLok version?

Hi! 

Hi Andi, 

and thanks for your reply!

All the best,

Hi! 

Since the transformation of license to iLok we've got three categories of presets in Synchronized Special Editions to choose from and in Finale, we've got four ways to deal with dynamics/volume. Does anyone has the clue of which combination of the VSL's presets and Finale's HumanPlayback's playback of dynamics/volume works best together? Which of the presets in VSL works best with Finale? 
I've been experimenting back and forth, trying to get the best results of changing the controls of VSL, f.i. making the volume (CC7) also control the velocity crossfade together with the expression, and it works to some extent, Burt not always. So, if anyone has any suggestions, please comment.

All the best, 

Anders

Hi Dietz, 

and thanks for your advices!

Hi! 

I'm a beginner to work with MIRPro and RoomPack 1 (Vienna Konzerthaus, Grosse  Sal) but. I want to know how you do with the balance between the different groups of instruments? I am working with Finale and have set it's output volume equal over all. Then I distributed the instruments according to a ordinary orchestral sitting on the stage and having the microphone on the conductor's place. When I start to play a piece on which I working on, I have to find a middle way of setting the output volume/balance. But after a while I have to change all over again. So my question: - are there some easier way to obtain balance (f.i. a forte in the woodwinds is equal to mezzoforte in the brass etc.)? 

All the best and a Merry Christmas to you all!

Hi again, 

Yes, thank you, I know where to click to ¨Copy root slot¨, but it doesn't change a bit for me. Following the steps in you first description, which was applicated on Vienna Ensemble, but now in SynchronPlayer results that I get only one instrument's different articulation and the first one's is gone (staccato). I've now sent a message to the support with a request for help. I appreciate your kind assist but since I'm new to the different architecture of SynchronPlayer, compared to the one of Vienna Instruments Pro, I need it explained for me how it works. The videos are not so much of help in this issue, since they are explicit made for the Synchron Librarys. 

All the best, 

Anders 

Hi! 

Aha, thanks! I will explore this right away! So, the only way to create and save an instrument with an auxiliary instrument is to do it by the plug-in within Vienna Ensemble Pro? It seems not possible within SynchronPlayer standalone? 

Again, thanks for your help!

regards, 

Anders 

Hi again, 

Oh, I missed that probably! You wrote ¨copy root slot¨ but when I right-click on the slot I got only ¨Copy slot¨ - what am I missing? 

Hi Erik!

Thanks for you help, but there must be a easier way to do this? As described by you, I have to do this for every single articulation? If so, it is much easier with Vienna Instruments Pro. I guess it depends on the difference of architecture between VI and Synchron, what you actually loading as presets vs patches - it is different, as far I can see. 
Anyway, thanks for your help! 
Regards, 

Anders 

Hi! 

I falled into the temptation and bought the Synchronised versions of Special Edition during the campaign this last Easter. Started to explore the SynchronPlayer-plugin in connection with Vienna Ensemble Pro and came across an issue which I cannot find any solution to yet (hopefully there are): Namely, if you are working with an orchestral score and have set up a score in Finale with for instance a staff/channel for Flute 2&3 which calls the third player to change from flute to piccola - how to change it in the SynchronPlayer-plugin? 
In Vienna Instrument Pro it is possible since you can load more instruments than one per plug-in and change between the instruments by Key-switch, but how to do it in a SynchronPlayer-plugin? 
Hopefully there's a solution to this. 

Regards, 

Anders Nilsson

Hi Andi, 

thanks for this! I am still learning VE7. ;) 

Anders 

Hi Andi! 

The problem is solved by saving the project from the earlier version with VE6 and then importing the project by choosing ¨convert the project to Vienna Instruments Pro¨ and then loading the saved project file from VE 6; it is not possible to load the VE6 project file directly to VE Pro 7, so this is a workaround. 
Anyway, it works fine now with both my two instances! 

All the best, 

Anders 

Hi! 
Just purchased VE Pro7 and I'm trying to get it working with Finale with an orchestral piece I have worked with VE 6. I am trying to reassign the playback to VEPro7. However, I've encountered some problems: 
Compare to VE 6 (free), it seems I cannot use VE7 as a plugin to Finale? There is something called ¨VE Input Event¨ which sometimes work under the obligation that I have to start VE7 server first and have it running. (In VE 6 it started as a plugin as soon I started the playback from Finale.). When I want to connect to this ¨VE Input Event¨, I got only one of the two instances I loaded to the VE server, which makes it impossible to choose some other instruments when the first instance is filled with 16 channels and the rest is designed to the next instance (which is not shown on the ¨VE Input Event¨ connection window).
When designed to the other alternative, that is when having the VE7 server application running at the same time, I can designed the instruments to the desired instance, but then when it comes to playback, almost nothing of the VSL keyswitches works and all different articulations/play techniques are absent. 
Anyone else encountered the same problem? 

Regards, 
Anders 

Hi again, 

I know that VSL support is eager to get Steinberg to update their e-licenser ¨helping them to finally tackle all their instabilities once and for all...¨, as they wrote. ;) So, keep fingers crossed!

Anders 

Hi Bogdan! 

Unfortunately the Beta-version I got was only for Mac, according to the release note, but I guess it soon will be a version for Win.dows as well. 

Cheers, 

Anders 

Hi Andi, 

Yes, that's right and hopefully this Beta-version will become released officially - for other users in the same situation. 

All the best and thanks for help!

Anders 

Hi! 

Warning for the new update of Finale 26 released today? (June 18th). It does not work with VSL! I get error messages when starting VE of license key, which I of course updated but without any improvement. I've tried to playback through IAC but it doesn't help. 
I've written to Andi about the issue and he has replied and hopefully will find a solution soon. I've written also to MakeMusic about the issue. Any solution out there? 

All the best, 

Anders 

MBP Mac OS 10.15.5 

Hi everyone! 

I am new with VSL, bought in December and trying figure out the best way to work with it together Finale 26. However, I've realized that my computer (MacBookPro, early 2008 with 2,5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, El Capitan 10.11.6) is quite old, since I've encountered problems with playback, with VSL Ensembke as intergrated as midi unit. It works though as a stand-alone, connected with IAC, but only with small ensembles - a symphony orchestra is just to forget! :(
My question is - what should I go for if I am going to buy a new MBP? A faster/better processor? Better RAM? Or any advice regarding my present setup is much appreciated. 

Best regards, 

Anders N.
