This is happening here too, but it's happening all of a sudden and didn't happen before with Version 8008...and the load times are very slow too! I am not aware that I changed anything, the setup worked pretty good before. There is a new Version of VE Pro with a fix! I'll check it out asap! Thanks, Andreas

There is already a public beta of a new PLAY version online. You can try it here:

I haven't myself, cause I have no time right now - anyone tested this?

Hi M,

just read your post and I mean no offense - but: are you kidding? Many companies let you demo their software when you have a elicenser key or an iLok. It's standard procedure. Also it's not so unlikely to have both an elicenser and an iLok when you bought any piece of software at all.

See it from this way: once you bought a key, which is around 20 EUR you can also demo Cubase 5 and other stuff.

+1! And of course I would also pay an upgrade fee for new and cool features, I personally don't expect to get features that are tricky to implement for free. I hope that the other (happy) users feel the same.

Andreas

What about this inconvenient "half-bug" - I thought it was addressed in the latest update? I still have to shut down VE Pro manually.

Is there some mor information on this topic?

And again:-) Did you think about this feature? Would be great!

Same here, one more vote for a disconnect button!

Just wanted to bring this feature request up again!

+1!

Check out the demo project and load the Epic_Orchestra.viframe.

Hi,

I just noticed that I can't write my own preset names in Vienna Suite, I'm typing on the keyboard but nothing happens.

Vienna Suite latest version

Nuendo 4.3

Mac OS X 10.6.1

I just sent it to Spectrasonics, keep you posted.

Andreas

Here you go: 

On Mac OSX 10.6.1 VE Pro (latest public beta) still crashes when loading a KIT in Stylus RMX 64bit.

Just noticed today.

Greets,

Andreas

Also keep in mind that it works on PCs and PLAY isn't 64bit on Mac anyway. So the benefit of using PLAY on a PC is even greater.

Maybe it sucks for some people but I think having a Mac and a PC Slave is the way to go. Best of both worlds.

That's great! I guess the next update comes "soon"?

I just noticed that I can't use the text entry in Omnisphere's search field when hosted in VE Pro. Apparently VE Pro captures the Keyboard. Is there a workaround? Could this be addressed in a future update?

Used on Mac OS X 10.6.1 here.

Thanks,

Andreas

Damn, I knew it!!!

Well, just that the guys at VSL won't be bored to death I'll claim a feature request:

Please make it possible to create instrument banks like Kontakt in Vienna Ensemble Pro that can be switched with program changes.

What a pity it doesn't work. I didn't think this was too exotic, or is it?

Setting up every library the same way makes sense if you mix and match many different libs/samplers - are there any plans to implement this in the future?

@DG: I know that with legato, but I wanted to get away from KS completely. I know that Hans Zimmer has the exact setup that I described above, but then again he has his own Software...;-)

Hi everybody,

I have set up a cool template with my Kontakt libraries and I wonder if the same thing goes with Vienna Ensemble/Vienna Instruments.

The idea is that I have a 16 pad controller (Akai MPD24) where the pads send program changes. In Kontakt I created instrument banks and for each instrument and I put the different articulations always in the same slot (Legato-Slot 1, Expressivo-Slot-2, etc.).

With my pads I can then switch between the articulations and the clue is that the articulations are always the same for every instrument regardless of the manufacturer, as opposed to Key switches where every patch has a different setup. Also program changes chase, keyswitches don't.

I am very happy with this setup and I would like to apply it to my Vienna Instruments (hosted in VE Pro) also but I couldn't figure out how to do this yet.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Andreas

I can confirm that PLAY works for me, but ONLY when I open a VE Pro instance through the connector plugin on Vistax64 (that's my slave computer). Then Play works in the 64bit Server. When I try to add a new Instance from the server without my host (Nuendo) Play won't work.

When it works, it works. Strange, isn't it?

Andreas

Since the new VE Pro update Play works for me too on a Vista x64 Slave, master is a Mac Pro.

@mad: are you on win 7, too? because on vista ultimate Play only works in the 32bit server for me.

Ok, I re-installed PLAY and it's kind of working now. At first startup I was able to see the GUI.

Before that I got an Runtime Error Message R6025 pure virtual function call in the VE 64bit Server.

Edit: Worked, now I got the message back. And strange enough PLAY is working on the 32bit VE Pro Server...I'm pretty sure I only installed 64bit PLAY ??? How can this be?

Hi Martin,

I already used this tip, but no luck...

Should PLAY run in 64 bit VE Pro as well - is someone getting this to work?

I'll give it another shot tomorrow.
