Hello

Question: Does one VEP Pro Licence allow VEP Server to be run on main DAW computer and a Slave computer simultaneously? DO I need to purchase a second licence for my DAW?

I have just purchased VEP Pro 7, so new to this subject.

I have my main DAW computer and 1 slave computer. The Slave has my original USB dongle installed and VEP pro7 works fine. However I wish to run a server instance on my main DAW computer as well. I have purchased a second USB dongle to facilitate this.

If it is possible to use two instances on same network, do I just copy the licence to my new USB dongle?

Many thanks 

Looking forward to it too 

I have libraries from numerous sources (Spitfire, Orchestral Tools etc) but I am really loving the BBO libraries. Quick and fun, imnspirational.

Now VSL, get a move on and give us some more - one a month should be ok for me :)

Ps: I will allow you to go one every two months, but thats it!

Hi

When using Cubase 10.5.0 and Synchron player (tried versions 1702 and 1744), if you create a new project within Cubase 10.5.0  and try to use Synhcron player, the moment you press a key, CUBASE will crash.

However, if you use Cubase 10.0.5  to create the project, it will work fine in 10.0.5. Furthermore, if you load the project made in 10.0.5 into Cubase 10.5.0, this also will work with out crashes.

Therefore, it would appear to be an issue between Synchron player and cubase 10.5.0. The work around is to create a template in 10.0.5 and then load that into 10.5.0.

I have updated VSL support with this information.

I hope it helps anyone else who may have got stuck with this fault.

Note: I have only been able to test with the audio interface UR22 mk11 - this fault may be specific tothis audio interface.

Hi

Please keep in mind of what I am about to say is my personal opinion. There are som many people on these forums who have been using templates for years and are much more experienced than me in this aspect.

Basic Architecture - Im laying out my template based on a traditional orchestra. This is still a work in process and is a very time consuming process, a good reason why many people would ratehr spend that time being creative rather than administrative i guess. But setting up the template for me starts with a section, say woodwinds, and working down from piccolo to contra bassoon. In each I will have 3 or 4 different legato patches, then sustains then shorts then effects (runs, trills etc). Each track represents an articulation. Each instrument may have 10 to 15 tracks. I do not use keyswitched patches, just a personal preference. I also load up a seperate track instrument for each articulation...why that and not have say EW Play engine have multiple instruments on different channels? I found that when freezing / unfreezing tracks,  Cubase would loose what instrument was assinged to a particular midi track. Using a play instance per track solved this. I also use VSL Syncron strings but this I do use keyswitched (I like the easy to use interface)

Rationale - I wanted as many articulaions and sounds ready to go as possible. For me, I have found being able to just "play about" with an instrument sound sometimes sparks an idea and this can then be developed into something. I wasnt as creative when I didnt use templates...........but thats probably a limitation in my creative process.

Goals - I want to be able to produce and finish many more pieces than I do. I feel a full templat will help me in this. Yes it is hard work to begin with but I feel it will be worth it.

Heres a link to a youtube vid on templates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_IYYhS_fg0

Yes there are many videos out there, I just like Guys style in how he gets information across.

I hope this helps

Hi

I know exactly what you are saying, I have worked for 30 years without templates, and that "worked" for me. As inspiration hit, the sound was in my head, just load it in and create.  But lately, I decided I would once again try templates and for me, for now, it is working. Having each articulation ready to go is providing me with far more inspiration...........perhaps im not a very inspired person and need the sounds to spark the creative process :)

Im Searching for a suitable word  or set of words to use to describe ones feeling at completing their first "bigish" template.

Relief, joy, delight?

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I had worked some of this out by watching more youtbe videos etc. Its funny, I spent 2hrs last night moving all VST86x and _64bit plugins to seperate folders and setting u p ensemble correctly  as it was not seeing Kontakt or play.............only to relaise that the free version doesnt host those plugins!!!!

Oh well, Im learning plus now, I have al plugins sorted nicely!

 

Again, thanks for taking teh time to explain

Nothing important to say, other than wow - why have I been working soooooo long without using VE? Im only just getting into it after watching many Youtube videos. Im just blown away with the software.

No problems!

Thanks again

Mark.

Thank you. Thats the trick i was missing. Im new to VSL so still on a steep learning curve!

Many thanks

Mark

Hi

I think I am reading the manual correctly but would like some clarification:

The Auto placement of an instrument when MIRx is activated in VI Pro depends on the instrument placed i nthe first slot 1a (I know the seating can be tweaked later from the drop down menu). Therefore all other instruments dropped into the other slots will always inherit the same placement?

Therefore, if I want ot create a multi instrument with say flute on left and clarinet to the right, I would need 2 instances of VI pro (one for each instrument)?

I was hoping to set up multi instruments in one instance of VI pro with correctly seated players. Am I missing a trick?

Many thanks for any help

Hi. Please coukd you advise me, can I purchase a USB eLicencer dongle and use that to test the MIR Pro 24 sofftware or does it have to be the Vienna key dongle. There is quite a price difference between the two and as I am uncertain whether I would ultimately be purchasing the software at this stage do need to keep fostscto a minimum.

Many thanks
