OK thanks, I thought I could have control over vibrato with a cc number, adding less or more.

Hi all,

I can't find the vibrato for strings synchronized special edition, is there

a particular cc number to activate it ?

Thanks.

Hi, 

Is there a way or key command to reveal ( show ) the synchron player or kontakt from the daw track. I am using pro tools 12.4 hd , midikynetics composer tools pro, Vep 7. Can i send a midi message to vep 7 to reveal any instruments from daw track ? Same question.

So I guess the problem is solved if i use instance preserve on. 

When i recall in pro tools vep finds it way to reconnect. I am using this fonction with group tracks in pro tools

if i want to hide say the woodwinds , the group gets hidden and when needed reconnects properly even if some times i have to insist on enable/disable channel on vep 7.

Best.

May be, will investigate further,

Thanks.

Hi , Synchron or kontakt give the same problem. i am on windows 10, pro tools 12.4 hd . plugin

I don't know why the daw doesn't see the instance anymore. The work around I found :

Create a new instrument track in pro tools, insert a vep pro plugin  try to connect to the 

instance ( the instance relaod all the samples but they don't connect to daw ), erase the old vep plugin.

Best.

Hi ,

I am using various instances of vep in a pro tools set-up and each time i disable an instance with 16

midi channels save the session and try to enable it vep intrument track doesnt reconnect. I have some midi coming in the instance but the kontakt channel says it's not connected. It's very frustrating because i simply cannot enable instances after i diabled themthey appear but don't connect with the daw even if it looks like they are connected. It seems to be a problem with vep 7 not 6.

Hi,

If i buy the vol 5 sy-ized special edition , what will be the price of the update to synchronized dimension strings 1  and dimension 2 ?

Hi ,

I have done what you have suggested, which is unplugging the port and the connection seems to be stable at least for the last day and a half. I really think the internet is messing with my vep network and the problem is that my routter has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and this could be a problem. So i am staying away from the 192.168.25.2 ip now because the router is using 192.168.0.x ,even though the connection was working with this ip i prefer stay away and turn wifi on a later time. I am using a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 on both computer to stay away from the router, hopefully this will help too. Anyways thank you very much for your post on ip's it's been really helpfull for me.

Best regards

Hi all,

I am loosing my mind trying setting up a network mac slave pc master. I can connect the 2 computers easely and they recognize each other since the begining, the midi works well everything loads correctly but when I play an instrument on the slave ,it gets occasional audio drop offs- no sound which makes the set up useless, very frustrating.

Mac and pc have no firewall, using on both sides 1 gbps full duplex ethernet conection , static ip 10.0.0.1 (PC) 10.0.0.2 ( MAC ) , same subnet 255.255.255.0, same vep version number 64 bit server , no wifi in no machine, ethernet port for internet cable disabled on mac, tried direct connection with cat 5 cable , cat 6 cable, cat 6 cable crossover, bought a switch connect just the 2 computers to the switch. Changed buffer size in pro tools 128, 256 512 ,tried vep 6 on a partition whith os 10.12 sierra same problem, so came back to os 10.8.5 , windows 10 by the way for pc .What I am doing wrong ? I couldn't manage to eliminate that problem , i have been using vep for 5 years in a single machine configuration very succesfully but here i am left with no clue.

Thanks for your help 

Hi thanks for the tips,

I am trying to slave a mac pro os 10.8.5 to a pc windows 10 running pro tools hd 12.I am using static ips 10.0.1.7 subnet 255.255.255.0 (PC) and 10.0.1.18 same subnet(MAC). Firewalls are off , no blue tooth, no wi fi and the 2 computers are conected to a switch with no router connected to it, the switch is suposed to connect a private network is it what you are saying ? On the second mac port i have the router connected to use internet cable should i disable it when i use vep pro ? Sorry to ask ,but i must admit that i have been trying to make this work stable for 2 weeks now. Unfortunatly sometimes i have some audio drop offs and it makes me nervous about using vep in a work context.

Best regards

It's incredible that yesterday i changed the buffer size in pro tools from 128 to 524 and was able to work on a session the the entire day without 1 glitch ( in my case the audio when i play a vst stops sometimes ). Today I open the same session and I am back again with those interuptions, even if i change the buffer size, just clueless.

Just to mention the ip's on both computers are static

thanks for the advices , i 'll try other things ...

Absolutely , computers connected directly, I sent you the screenshots.

Talked too fast . I plugged a moog in midi in the pc and everything went wrong again now even with the moog unplugged , have the on-off sound cut. I am left with a last option which would be to buy a switch to "police the comunication "between mac and pc, too bad , I'll try that some times...

Thank you Paul for the follow up. I bought a cat 6 cable today and everything is smoother no audio on-off anymore ( i had a cat 5 ), i am on separated ips , firewall off etc, went trough a lot of threads in the forum, but it seems to have solved the problem. I'll keep you inform if it changes and after a while i'll change the thread to solved ( finger cross + i really want it to work !!! )

best regards

Sorry for beeing a little vague, but could someone show me an example of ip adress that work for mac slave on os 10.8.5 and pc master windows 10 ? That would be great to get a stable starting point.

best regards

HI,

I am getting desparate here , i think I tried almost everything to slave a mac to pc pro tools hd 12. The pc recognize the mac sever and I can connect but there is an intermitant blank sound ( no sound when I play a vst an back to normal the all time.The pro tools buffer is 128, using big data ( 9000 ) on both network. First tried static ip 10.0.1.100 for pc and 10.0.1.101 for mac ( single ethenet cable connection from pc windows 10 to mac os 10.8.5 mac pro cheese grater ).Then 10.255.255.2 mac ( firewall off) to 10.255.255.1 pc firwall deactivated .Then i tried the automatic ip from pc , input on pc 169.254.151.65 + 255.255.255.0 and input  169.254.151.64 on mac  + 255.255.255.0 same problem the vst plays on the mac slave but the sound goes off and on. Any help greatly apreciated !

Hi,

The last update for vep 6 crashed completely pro tools hd 10 and 12 on os10.8.5 and os 10.12

It's unfortunate that vep 6 has lost its super stable behavior that vep 5 had. The more the updates

come the less stable it gets, i miss vep 5 , do not update tol the ast version if you are on mac and on a project.

I am trying to connect vep5 ( server ) using vienna instruments pro to sibelius 7.5. I have followed  the steps of the video on the site read various articles and it just doesn't work. If i play a note on the keyboard there is no sound, no input, if i write a note in sibelius it doen't play ( no sound , I am very sorry to be so helpless but i reaaly feel like a troll trying to use spcecial edition 1 + 2 + and sibelius. Any help ?

Sorry , it's working perfectly with vep 5 and vip 2 in pro tools,

great demo by the way to get a better understanding of the special edition.

Hi,

I am having a hard time to load the .viframe32 from decision day demo in vep 5, the session loads o.k in

protools and vep too but no .viframe.

Any way to use vip2 to play back the track in vep5 ?

Thanks for your time.

I am having a hard time to load the" decision day" demoin protools, the session is ok vep5 too,

but how can i load the decision day .viframe32 ?

One more thing , could I use the vip 2 to load the instruments?

Thanks for your time.

Thanks so much for the great explaination , it's working !

Any progress in the template ?

I am stocked with the multi instruments set-ups of kontakt . I was able to output 2 instruments with one instance of kontakt to prot tools and play them and record midi , but the second instance of kontakt doesn't route properly in pro tools with other out puts, and midi, I don't know what to do. Any advice ?
