Just out of curiosity, are the VI and Synchron-ized Dimension Brass libraries recorded using Bb Trumpets or C Trumpets. The online manual doesn't seem to specify.

Purchased. The introductory upgrade price from VI Percussion is minimal, can't pass it up.

Thanks for the detailed reply, Andi. Information noted.

Greetings,

I noticed that in the VSL For Dorico Expression Map files under the Synchron Woodwinds folder there is no entry for Hi Woodwinds but instead there is an entry for Synchron-ized Hi Woodwinds.

I'm sure the first week of April will be busy for the team, but if this could be fixed when possible I would appreciate it.

I notice that the following libraries look to have no support in VSL For Dorico:

SY Elite Strings

SYzd Dimension Brass, SYzd Dimension Strings

SYzd Solo Strings, SYzd Chamber Strings, SYzd Appassionata Strings

Is there any prospect of these being included in the future?

Ahh, when I looked under Additionals yesterday I didn't scroll down enough. My bad.

Are the Dorico for VSL download files accessible from the Vienna Assistant? I couldn't find them, so I just went to the Downloads page of MyVSL to get them, but I wonder if they could be added to the "Additionals" section of the Assistant. Not the highest priority, but just a thought.

After updating VE Pro to the new version I started up a blank Studio One project and tried to connect to my VE Pro Server template. All available instances now show.

Thanks so much, Andreas and VSL team!

Update.

Based on detailed suggested steps by VSL Support the problem was fixed.

I'm not absolutely sure which of the steps did it, but I suspect it was entering specific inbound port permissions in my firewall settings. Instructions are found in the VE Pro manual under "Firewall"

It was the case for me. Solved for one day by uninstalling/reinstalling 1503 using VA. I shut down every night so the lights won't bother my wife. Next morning, problem returned. Then reinstalling didn't even work any more.

Thanks so much, Stig. That worked, at least it did using the non-DNS IPv4 address shown in my network properties. Not sure how to assign a fixed address to VEP, nor which one to assign, but what I did worked. 

That is at least a workaround.

Again, much thanks.

Having posted earlier in this thread, I am a WIndows 10 user. What network information do you want? Let me know and I'll send it.

In my previous post I mentioned Studio One. This morning I tested a new empty Cubase project and attempted to connect to VE Pro with a single rack instrument. Same problem, no available instances are shown in the connection window. So it appears the problem is not DAW-related, although I draw that conclusion as a layman.

Interestingly, in my Studio One projects previously existing connections to VE Pro instances (from before this problem cropped up) are still connected, only newly attempted connections are affected.

I believe this problem started before 1503.

Starting a week or so ago the VE Pro Server connection window to Studio One began showing no available instances. Nothing to connect to, despite an open, running VEPs with multiple instances. It would crash Studio One when I clicked "Connect" just to see what would happen. This never happened to me until about a week ago.

Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled VE Pro, restarted my computer, and that solved things. At least I thought so, until my first attempt to connect this morning. No instances showing. I verified I am running 1503. VE Pro is unusable when this happens. If I can't connect to my instances, I can't use it.

Edited to add:

I just used Vienna Assistant to again uninstall / reinstall VE Pro. I noticed that Assistant now shows the latest version was 7.2.1495 but that 7.2.1503 was still what was still my installed version. 

I am going to try uninstall / reinstall and restart again and see what happens.

Edited to add:

Same thing. 1503 installed, 1495 latest version. No connections available.

Thanks, Paul, will do

Ah, thanks. So I'll hope my post on VI Control yields some more information for Studio One, which is currently my primary DAW.

I think I made this too complicated. If I boil it down, my question is this:

Do assigned but unused VEP outputs use a significant amount of CPU or RAM?

+1

I already posted this in the VI Control forum here.

I'm curious if anyone can comment on the impact in VE Pro Server of audio outputs, specifically the total number of available audio outputs (per Instance settings in Preferences) versus the number of outputs actually used.

If I set my instances with a large number of outputs potentially available for an instance, say 100 or more, but only assign 50 of them to channel outputs, what is the relative impact on processing and performance compared to adjusting my available outputs to more closely match the number used. I have five instances like this.

I've had some good progress so far in working with dedicated stereo outs for each used instrument in my VE Pro Server template. These are then routed to a Studio One VE Pro instrument, matching each Studio One instrument tracks with assignments for MIDI port, channel and outputs in the VE Pro instances in my template.

I have the flexibility to change these assignments or add new instrument tracks as needed. It's a question of how much "padding," unassigned VE Pro outputs, to make room if I do choose to add some instruments to my Studio One project. If I leave plenty of padding, I multiply the number of available outputs. If I leave less, I might have to adjust the available number of outputs in VE Pro to accommodate added instruments.

An arcane question, but I'm curious.

Thanks for explaining

Can someone clarify what the VI Collections presets that show in VI Pro are, specifically, the pdf manuals explain all the detail of the L1 (level 1) and L2 (level 2) presets, I take it corresponding with the Standard and Extended libraries.

But they make no mention of the "VI Pro" presets that are shown alongside these in the VI Pro player. Just looking at it I can't tell if the "VI Pro" presets are older or newer creations than the L1 and L2 presets. I'm wondering if they were set up when original VI Pro was released to take advantage of it's capabilities at the time. Not sure if they have been enhanced for VI Pro 2.

The Level presets make perfect sense to me, so I'm inclined to use them.

Thanks for the suggestions, Paolo. If it turns out there is no combination of existing factory mix presets useful for avoiding phasing where divisi lines merge then what you suggest will be my only alternative to purchasing the Full version, which I want to avoid because of computer resources. However, if there was a library I might consider going with it could be Elite Strings.

Again, thanks.

I only own Elite Strings Standard Version. I know that the Full Version has Divisi Presets. These show up in the dropdown list for Standard and can be applied, but as expected they don't seem to produce decent results so far as I can tell.

If I were to use only factory presets from the Standard Version for divisi, is there a combination of distinct presets might be suggested?

I have the same question. I've been hoping all along to get a4 Horns in Synchron Brass.

FYI, one thing I've found trying to work around this:

If I first set MIDI port and Channel to "none" before deleting it does not crash.

Done, though there were no crashdump reports to be found with the appropriate date.

Thanks, Paul.
