Hi

I'm testing Digital Performer 11. Together with Studio One it has this nice feature, that the articulation map from ex. Elite Strings can be transferred from the plug-in to the DAW automatically.
But the key switches assigned are not transferred. What is the reason for that? And can't it be changed?

Regards Stig

Thank you for your feed back!

I'm investigating DP11 because it has a more advanced articulation map system - featuring delay pr. articulation and much more. It's difficult to learn a new way of set-up and the whole articulation issue isn't solved as elegant as in Studio One, which on the other hand doesn't have the delay and doesn't lock the articulation to MIDI.
I have XDaw, I don't like it, I want a built in solution, that facilitates the use of both small and large libraries.

Hi
Out of curiosity I would like to know how the Synchron libraries from VSL are working in Logic Pro. The articulation system "only" allows 3 k.s. for a patch, so how do you manage ex. Elite Strings?

I would also like to know how you are dealing with delaying (negative) the longs and legato articulation, to get them in time with the beat.

Hi

I have tested your suggestion. My Mac Pro server is showing but not the PC server.
Now the PC server doesn't show up even if I un tick/tick the option in the preferences.

Hi

This is constant bugging me. I have a PC server with a heavy set-up. When I launch the VEPro plug-in in any of my DAWs (DP11, Cubase Logic or S1) none are showing up. Then I can go to my PC uncheck/check the "Advertise on local network" and for some time I can see the instances again. Next time the whole mess starts again.

What can be done?

I have a dedicated "button" in my Metagrid set-up that sends CC101,0,1 to turn on a channel in an instance and CC101,127,1 to turn it off. Works well! Needs to be programmed in VEPro, but it's doable!

But of course an "activate on MIDI" switch would be FAR more elegant!

I have had this issue as well. I have given both my Mac and PC server fixed ip addresses and then it's possible to connect to the server via those addresses! Fill out the instance name - remember uppercase matters! - and then connect. 

Same thing here. Completely new install of Monterey on a Mac Pro 12 only used for VEPro server.
It would be so nice to have this fixed!

Is there a solution to this problem?

Why does the scan process continue?

Hi

I have send you a mail regarding the problem.

Thanks a lot!

Okay I make a reply to my self!
In S1 - 6 I have a Synchron Piano - Steinway. When I playback the track with the plug-in interface closed, the sound stutters and the audio is interrupted - several cpu spikes......
If I open the plug-in interface, the audio is okay!

What can be the reason?

The same thing in Cubase 12 and Logic Pro!

Hi

Long time user here. I have recently bought a Mac Studio Max and my VSL set-up - including 2 servers - is now working so bad, that I have to use the term - not working.
The Synchron Pianos can only work at a buffer setting on 512 samples. The sound is stuttering in Studio One 6 and Cubase 12. Is there anything - at all - that I can do to restore performance?

Everything is updated and I use UA audio interface.

Hi

I often have this situation: I want my V1 Elite Strings play a fast run up to a target note. For this I use the legato agile articulation and it works really well, but the first note has a very slow attack. I'm not sure why. Should I use another articulation for the first note?

Hi Paul

It's from a Samsung SSD 850 EVI 1 TB, so no moving parts here.

Hi

Today I thought I would give the paradigm: One instrument - one instance a try in Cubase. This approach will make the mixing process much easier I think. So I created 16 instances in VEPro7 on my Server 2 - a Mac Pro 5.1 12core with 48 gigs - each holding an instrument from the new Synchron Woodwinds library. Those 16 instances "lived" next to 3 instances: Percussion from Synchron Perc, the same woodwinds collection, with all 16 instruments in one instance and finally one instance with the Synchron Harp.

The moment I connected the 16 instances with woodwinds, the VEPro server stopped playing. All 12 cores on my old Mac server was completely overloaded. Even WITHOUT the seq running! Clearly this wasn't a good idea.

Now I tried the same set-up in Studio One - using VST3 - with precisely the same result. Even with the transport stopped, VEPro shows 1900% in CPU use! The memory is down with only 12 gigs. The 16 channels with the Synchron Woodwinds was around 75% even without playing! Changing the dropout protection from Low to High, made the VEPro server breathing again, and the project could be played okay, but now had 53ms latency on the 

Then I started Logic, and using AU and AU3, there was barely any activity on the CPU on the server!   Even with a buffer on 64 samples, the track was playing okay as long as I hadn't selected one of the VEPro tracks!

So with VST3 everything stopped even with the transport stopped and with AU3 in Logic Pro X the project worked!

Is there a deeper wisdom hidden in all this, that I miss?

Any help much appreciated!!

Regards Stig

Yes!
Everything is the last update.
Also see really long load times for the synchron harp. Instanciating the plug-in and the wait 2 minutes. Is that ok?

Hi

I will try that!. The problem is occurring on a Mac server so VEPro7 is the only app running.

Regards Stig 

Ok

Thanks!

Hi

I have an issue with some of the Synchron Woodwinds Expression maps. It seems that there are missing the entry for Long Notes C#0, in the Articulation lane, this is the case for the bassoon map. What I mean is this:

If you choose Staccato for some notes and then wants a regular long note with vibrato, there is no way of telling the Synchron Player, that you want to switch to that expression!
Or is there?
I can't find it!

Regards Stig

Hi

I keep getting this error:

Any solution?

Well it seems that it all depends on HOW Cubase/Nuendo is chasing CC's.
Go to preferences/MIDI/Chase Events and REMOVE check mark in:

"Chase not limited to Part Boundaries"

By removing the check mark (if any) Cubase will only chase events INSIDE the part!

This has solved the problem!

So: It seems that it's okay to automate channels on/off from the track as long as the automation CC (I have only tested this with CC's) is kept in a separate MIDI part and the "Chase not limited to Part Boundaries" is NOT checked.

Regards Stig

In VEPro it’s possible to automate enabling/disabling a channel in an instance. This is very important because I can load a huge template in VEPro in no time, and only activate the channels I need.

This can be done by using a CC, and I have selected CC 101. Sending a value of 0, turns the channel on, sending a value of 127 turns off the channel.
So the idea is, to create a MIDI block in the beginning of a track, and the first time the sequence is running, the CC 101 - 0, is send to VEPro and the channel will be activated.
Now it seems that every time I select a new articulation with the help of a VST expression, Cubase sends the CC 101 - 0, which causes VEPro to “hick-up”.
I have also tried CC 15, and it’s the same problem.
The same track runs fine, if I use old fashion key switches!
Now I just use a button on my Metagrid to turn on the channels I need, waiting for VSL to give us activation by MIDI! ;-)

That's fantastic!!

Thanks a lot!

Yes you were right.
I got confused where to find the VST plug-ins in the Windows set-up, now it's working!

Thanka!

Hi

Yesterday I updated my SINE player (Orchestral Tools) to latest version. Now I can't launch any of the SINE channels in my VEPro 7 server - on PC.
I'm a Mac guy, so I don't know how to "persuade" my PC/VEPro 7/SINE to behave.

Can anybody help me?

What happens is that I get a box saying: VST: SINE Player - Could not open plugin.

VEPro 7 version: 7.0.1120
