No, I didn't uninstall e-licenser and I ran the maintenance on e-licenser. 

I have to work so in the meantime I uninstalled the ilok version of VEP and reinstalled the e-licenser version and now everything is just working fine again. Too bad... I'm not a big fan of the e-licenser either

Hello,

I have the same problem with a big server project: "The project you are trying to load is invalid". Also the Vienna Helper gives the message: "Synsopos.app could not be started..." and then crashes, see attachment.

I updated the eLicenser. I restarted the Mac (OS 11.6). I tried the conversion offline. Nothing worked.

Is there any suggestion before I go back to eLicenser?

Thanks, Oliver

I have the same problem now since the VEP 7 upgrade. This fix indeed helps, though. What also worked for me is to open the VEP 7 Server and go from there to the menu File > open Server Project.

Please bugfix soon!

I also noticed now that it seems to denpend on my track count in Logic. I have an orchestral template with about 430 tracks. There the 2nd slave mac is not usable at all even with no other instruments playing. The VEP will glitch and drop out and show me crazy cpu usage even if nothing else is playing. When I erase about 180 tracks in Logic (the ones from my 1st slave mac) suddenly the 2nd machine is playable again, also during playback / recording.

Next thing I tried was to leave the track count in Logic as is but I just gradually disconnected all other VEP instruments from my other slaves and Voila step by step the playability of slave 2 increased.

When I connect slave 2 to an empty Logic templat and instanciate the VEP instruments everything works fine.

Somehow it seems as if VEPs on other slaves is sucking cpu from each other?! 

Can that be? Is there a limit of VEP instances one can use?

I have no clue how to solve this and would apreciate any ideas.

Thank you

Hi guys,

I'm trying to build a big orchestra template with my 2 old Mac Pros (Yosemite & Sierra both 64GB Ram) as slaves and my new Macbook Pro as Logic host. VEP & Logic is up to date.

During playback or recording even if no VEP instrument is playing back it is almost impossible to play/record a VEP instrument (live). It's glitching and dropping out like crazy. And I noticed that the system performance shown on the VEP is already at 70-95% (showen in the low right corner of VEP) even if no VEP instrument is playing back.

When Logic is stopped I can play any VEP instrument without error. 

This happens on both machines. The older Mac Pro is having a harder time though.

Maybe I'm missing something. Is anyone familliar with this problem?

Thank you!

Hi Paul,

I have an equal problem. One of my slave computer is too old to upgrade to VEP 6.

Is there any way I can use VEP 6 on two computers and VEP 5 on the third one?

Respectively, if it's not possible can I downgrade and use VEP 5 again with the licences on the usb stick already upgraded?

Thank you,

Oliver

Hello,

I use Logic Pro X (latest) with Vienna Ensemble Pro4 (latest) in conjunction with 2 slave computers (Mac Pro & Powerbook).

In my Logic session every VE AU plugin is connecting to all instances that I created as starter setup. A few songs later I wanted plug in a new VE AU to create a new server instance when I had to realise that the VE plugin won't find / show any server anymore. But the earlier instances are connected fine. When I open an older (connected) VE plugin and disconnect it, it's gone... it won't show any server either.

When I open a new Logic session and plug in a VE plug, everything is recognized again. So I assume that somewhere my Logic session must have broken bad?!

Any idea how to fix that? I'm working on a movie project and I'd need to expand my Logic session but can't loose my previous setting.

Thank you! Oliver

Hi Erik,

first of all thank's for your efford! Maybe I'm wrong but your LASS example on soundcloud sounds a lot like strings mono thru a stereo reverb. I have no relations with LASS at all. I just own the library as well, along with all of the other tested libraries and in their defense I must say I really think it can sound much better than this! ...well at least more stereo.

Best regards,

Oliver

Same here (Play 3.0.20, VEP v4.1.8008) and when trying to change the midi channel within play the play gui crashed and freezed, had to delete the instrument and load again. I'm not a programer so i can't tell but I have had so many bad experiences befor with Play and Logic alone, from crashes to freezes to destroying the whole logic song.

Has anyone so far experiences with Play 2 in VEP? Are the problems caused mainly by the Play 3 update?

Heee Umesh,

I also work with one piano-window in Logic with multiple tracks selected. For sure Logic respondes tricky or deselects the other tracks when cutting a note etc. but in general it is possible to select (also multiple) and move/shift/copy all the notes there. Only thing: you cannot easily copy (by drag+alt/drop) one note of eg. the violins region to the cellos region so you have to keep track of who is playing what voice.

For the multiple expression control just record-enable all the tracks you want to record with the same expression and, well, record and express :)

The track you are on while recording will be the "master" region and all the other record-enabled tracks will feature an alias to that master. So if you wanna edit the expression for all tracks later you edit the master.

I hope this could help a little but maybe you were actually asking for way more advaced technics... I'm a simple man.... If you already got some better solutions, let me know!

Best, Oliver

Hi everybody,

my problem is that with an arrangement i did before (LogicPro 9.1.3 in 64-bit, MacPro 12 core, MacbookPro as slave) the VEP interface (64-bit) won't show any network servers anymore. When i start a new default song and load the VEP plugin, everything works fine and all servers are showen. The strange thing with my problem-arrangement is: when i instanciate a new VEP 64-bit plugin, no connection or server is showen. When I instanciate a VEP 32-bit plugin (via the logic 32-bit bridge) all servers are recognised. And also strange: when loading the problem song the VEP plugins will connect only to the local servers/instances (as they should) but when disconnecting them again the plugin doesn't show any servers anymore.

In this arrangement I normally use two VEP 64-bit instances with all the VIPs on the local computer and I stream some Kontakt instruments from the 32-bit VEP on my macbook. In so many cases this worked perfect! But now i'm helpless...... please Obi Wan.....:)

Thanks, Oliver

Hello there... I seem to have experienced equal problems and with me PLAY is unloadable in my VE Pro (ver. 4.0.4416), too. Either VE crashes or the PLAY Interface is showing faders and knobs only and nothing is working.... (latest PLAY version btw.)

 Dear Maya,

thanks for the quick reply. I see you got a newer VI software released few days ago. So I try that one. Thank you.

My license manager is the newest (v.5.2.24.6).

I will report if this problem is solved now.

Best, Oliver 

Hi everybody,

recently when loading a logic song with multiple (say 6-10) Vienna Instruments I very often get a Syncrosoft error (Couldn't find any licences installed...blabla) . After that the license manager indeed says I'd have no single license on my key. When I restart the mac, load my logic autoload and plug in only one VI everything is allright again. Then I can proceed loading my "multiple VI Logic song".

Well, sure it's already a workaround but still pretty annoying though.

My configuration is MacPro 2xQuadcore, Logic 8.01, latest Vi & Syncrosoft software.

Thank you, Oliver 

Hi again,

already seem to have the answer to my former problem:

The Syncrosoft Lizenze Center on my G5 was not up to date and therefor
didn't recognize the Saxophone license on my key.

Hum, at least a thread now where I can express my fondness for auto-update-functions or at least update memos.

Thanks for looking anyway.

Oliver

Hi everybody,

Can somebody help me? I installed the VI Saxophones on my Macbook Pro and did the key registration: everything fine.

Now, like I did with other VIs before, I copied the Saxophone Data folders to my external HardDisk to use the VI on my Studio G5 Mac as well. I did run the Directory Manager on my G5 and gave it all the new folders. Opening the VInstrument in Logic or Standalone only shows me the Saxophone Patch No.70 but it isn't loadable anyway.

I did the same thing with my VI Brass 2: totally works.

Anyway, I thought maybe I should do a proper installation of the Saxophones with the VI Library Installer. DVD inside, launching VI Lib Inst, givin it the package.info folder on the DVD, clicking open I get: "The following licenses are needed to install this package: Saxophone Basic" with an "OK" button. Pressing "OK" the Installer quits.

Thank you.

Helpless, Oliver

hi everyone,

i got a problem installing my new vi solostrings library. the installer says it'd need 57Gb for the installation but only 34Gb would be available. my disk says there is 69Gb availible. what can i do? i already pressed the ignore and go on button and now i'm waiting what's happening. anyone any suggestions in case it wouldn't work?

thanx, oliver

You were right, I confused it with the Syncrosoft installer which says valid for Jaguar, Panther, Tiger. The newest Software Installer I did download from the VSL Website as recomended in fact says nothing about the requirements. Sorry, product pages say nothing about requirements either but you are right, it's writen on the backside of package, my fault.

In fact I do run Panther. Is this a problem? The latest installer I downloaded yesterday from the VSL site says it is valid for Jaguar, Panther and Tiger. Do I have to update to Tiger to make it work. I'm a little fond of my 10.3.9 since everything is just working fine right now which isn't always the case after an apple update.

Well, that was also my next idea, didn't work. But thanks for reply.
