Yes I have:

Vienna Ensemble PRO 5 (Windows) build 5.1.12684

and

Vienna MIR PRO / MIR PRO 24 (Windows) build 5.1.12684

That is when the trouble started. It was working fine until I updated.

Win 7

I can load venues within the stand alone MIR, but within VEP It says there are no Venues available.

I have checked the path for the venues many times. I have set it to another location, then set it back to the correct roompack data folder.

I get the error message that I must have at least one roompack installed.

Any Help?

We all hope it goes that way. I get fantastic performance from Thunderbolt with my UA Aopllo.

Sometimes turning off the gold power switch in the upper left of the VIframe (mixer window) will do it.

Turn it off and turn it back on again.

For Multi timbral instruments the Server interface track needs to be set on midi channel ALL

Make sure the track that you have the server interface on is set to midi channel ALL in the track parameters

I ran the Mac Installer, it began to install the updated files. A few seconds into it, an error message cane up saying an error has occurred and to contact the manufacturer.

I repaired my permissions in disk utility and restarted. It still didn't install right. I used the uninstaller and removed the old version of VEP 5. 

Ran the installer again and it installed properly.

I didn't have this problem with the installer from other versions, I tried that yesterday too. I tried re-installing the previous version with no problems.

It fixes so many things for me. The out of memory error I was getting in Logic is gone, MIR grapics problems are gone, It seems to have fixed PLAY loading problems. Great Work VSL Team.

I did have a problem with the Mac installer. I had to use the uninstaller, repair permissions, restart and then it installed properly.

Thanks!

What Jens said.

Be sure that the software instrument track you have the VEP server interface on is set to midi channel ALL.

Use the multioutput (X16 Stereo) version.

Yes, VEP is my only plug in Logic.

What are the complications with the multiport?

I Have difficuly working now.

This is the kind of thing I REALLY want to know about.

I would love to see some "best practice" information.

So you get better performace with static IP address?

Better connection?

Jumbo frames are better?

I have a Mac (Logic) and a PC (Win7+VEP5)

I have a Netgear gigabit switch between them.

What are the best settings on both sides?

I have the Mac on Automatic/Using DHCP.

I have the PC to Obtain an IP address automatically.

A gigabit switch should solve all your problems

Yes both Kontakt and Play are used.

Fresh reboots of both machines. It seems to be related to coupling and de-coupling.

Once it gets in this condition, your stuck. I have been using the VEP multiport template. 

The out of memory error message is wrong, I have plenty of memory on the Mac. The only plug in I am using is VEP5.

This happens under some conditions and I'm trying to fugure out why.

I believe the error message is a generic message reported by the OS or Logic when it doesn't know what else to say.

It happens with large templates., but not always.

I would love to isolate the cause of this.

I don't know that much about ethernet protocol. I have had better luck connecting from a PC VEP slave to a Mac when I use a gigabit switch.

You would think a direct connection would be better.

I have a hard time connecting to the second port of a Mac Pro.

Any and all advice is welcome.

When I use desktop remote software on my Mac to control my slave PC, the MIR room graphic shows up as a white block.

When I connect a monitor to the PC, the room graphic shows up fine. Once I have started up VEP/MIR with a monitor connected, then I can connect with the remote desktop software and then I can see the MIR room graphic. I can load venues and everything works fine.

If I quit VEP/MIR and start it again with the remote desktop software, the room graphics are gone again.

I use both Microsoft remote desktop for MAC and and another program called CORD.

I have tried different settings in remote desktop with no success.

It used to work all the time until the last two updates where the graphics were fixed.

What troubles me is, it can work, but only if you start VEP/MIR with a monitor connected.

Any ideas to get this working properly?

I'm sure I am not the only one using some kind of remote desktop software.

It does exist. Except it's not available commercially. Some top LA composers paid to have it programmed.

It was for the original Lemur controller and it's really well done. It also requires programming of Vienna instruments Pro as well.

Here is an opportunity for someone who can program the Lemur. I have tried, and it's beyond me.

Are you using the event plug-in?

If so, it does that for me too.

I went back to using multiple viframes and the server plug-in

I was able to copy the entire evvironment layer to a new layer.

I disconnected the cable from the layer output and created another audio instrument and connected the new layer to the new audio instrument.

I also re-named the multi-instruments in the new layer I re-nanmed VEP 1 to 17 and contuned on from there.

In VEP I made a new instance and it seems to work. I havent tested it much.

This gives you 512 instrument channels. Enough? :-)

You are correct about the audio engine needing to run for Play.

I was able to load all the sounds when I was connected to Logic.

Sorry about accusing VEP5 as the problem, but maybe some of the workarounds can help users.

Thanks again

Thank you Karel

I will let East West know about the problem.

Why do most of the sounds load and not others?

I just reported a loading problem with Play as well

It's 100% repeatable and happens of my friend's system as well.

If I load Hollywood strings 1st Violins: 09 Legato Slur + Port Powerful System and start at the top of the list, by the time I get to the 6th sound

1st Violins Leg Slur Ni  it will hang everytime and NOT load the sound in the server version.

However if I repeat this in the stand-alone version of VEP5, It works fine and I can load all the sounds.

It happens with the second violins as well. I needed to use these sounds.

As a work around, I used the stand-alone version of VEP5, loaded the sounds I needed and saved it as a channel set.

Then I loaded the channel frame into the server version of VEP5 and it worked.

If you have this library, can you check out this problem?

Thanks.

I have seen this happen.

Some have better results using a gigabit switch between the master and slave machine rather than a direct connection.

I don't know why.

If you have one around, give it a try and see if it helps.

Thank you Karel.

I was experimenting with MIR Buffer sizes. The default was 512. I tried some different settings. I tried 0-128-256. Setting it back to 512 seems to have fixed it. Thamk you for pointing me in the right direction.

Solved!
