Thank you 

Hi, I was organizing one of VEP instances and accidentally hit 'snap instance' I didn't know what to do at first to get it to pop back in, so I clicked around, minimized the floating layer and now Kontakt has completely disappeared. But it still works. 

Right below this bar, it's totally empty:

Presets - Save As - Delete - Bypass

I've clicked around for an hour and just can't figure it out.
Any ideas on how to get Kontakt to show up?

thanks!

Ok I figured it out. I was just accidentally hitting that tiny little power button which made me think the plugin stopped working. My fault all good. :) 

Hey there - was wondering if VEP has the ability to visually magnify certain plugins GUIs?

Plugins that have their own non kontakt players like Play, Spectrasonics Keyscape and PercX are so tiny I need a magnifying glass to read the print on a high resolution monitor. They won't let me stretch them out. 

Some other plugins like Spitfire Phobos or Orchestral Tools Sine let you magnify as much as you want. 

thanks!

Sure thing will do.

I'm still running High Sierra on my Mac Platforms but it's also happening on my PC with the latest Windows.

It's a random occurrence, just seems to happen on instances from time to time for no apparent reason. I have every instance backed up as a Kontakt multi so I can remake them quickly. I always update the latest VEP - this has been going on for a year or so.

Hi there - I notice that seemingly randomly - occasionally instances of VEP for lack of a better word - go bad. 

The only thing left is the instances (in parentheses) greyed out. Just seems random. I have to create a whole new instance and load up the samples all over again.

I have the latest version of VEP - this has happened for several versions now 

Any ideas?

Thanks

just emailed thank you

Hi I just updated to v 926 and I notice that VEP no longer audo-shows the instance being played in real time on the slave computers.

In massive templates it is quite a helpful feature.

The previous version worked. Is there some sort of setting I need to recheck? 

thanks!

I have a PC and Mac Pro as my VEP slaves. Everything is decoupled. I use Microsoft Remote Desktop for the PC and Screensharing for the Mac Pro so I can see the computers from the same monitor. I have a dedicated montitor for that purpose so when I select and instrument VEP should show the instance in kontakt so I can see all my keyswitches. Usually I have to move the CC11 fader to get it to 'wake up' and appear. 

Since I've installed VEP, it not longer goes to the instrument and I have to manually find it. But the little flashing midi activity lights that were added in VEP 7 are nice.

Thanks Paul. I activated activity focus on both my slave machines and it's not working. I tried restartig the app as well. 

Are there any other settings I can try to make this work? I tried coupleing / decoupling, etc... 

cheers!

Hi there, really loving VEP 7.

Was wondering if there is a setting, when I play an instrument in Logic, where VEP (on the slave machone) will automatically display the instance in Kontakt I'm playing in real time? I found this to be pretty handy in VEP 6 when needing to see the keyswitches in that particular kontakt instance especially in huge templates. 

thanks!

Well.... VEP 7 solved my pause problem. Yay!

Thanks Paul

Hi there, I'm trying to solve a lag problem. I keep getting this message after reinstalling different versions

"vienna ensemble pro is not optimized for your mac"

I'm on OS 10.14.6

any thoughts?

thanks!

Looks like it has something to do with the number of instances on my PC. There are over 50. If I take it down to 10 the playback pause problem starts to go away. 

I have all the instances decoupled. Is there anything else I can try? Mauybe a buffer setting somewhere?

thanks!

One more little tidbit 

It seems the 2 second lag is from Logic waiting for VEP to do something before it can playback. I tried bouncing and then disconnecting VEP before playing back. After disconnection the playback is instantanious. 

So somewhere between Logic and VEP there is something causing a lag. I tried every compination of Logic's settings and buffers in VEP but no luck

Hi there

I'm using the latest VEP 6

I have two slaves 1. PC and 2. iMac in a machine room about 70 feet away from my main studio.

My main computer is a 12 core mac pro

Reently, a strange pause has developed in Logic when I bounce a midi to audio track in place, and then another 2 second after, when I play back the track in Logic. 

If I disconnect the PC slave, but the imac slave is still connected the pause goes away.

AND if I switch to the imac as the host with the same template connected to the PC there is no pause.

But for some reason the pause remains on my Mac Pro

Somehow this developed over time. For a year the mac pro had no problems even thought the slave connection was 70 feet away so I'm not sure it's the distance. 

Hope my explanation wasn't to confusing

thanks!

Hi its is possble to open VEP in a safe more or non scanning mode and then after it's open select the plugins to let it scan? I had to switch computers today from an emergency and VEP is taking hours and hours of my precious time to open. A real emercency thanks!

Hi there, was wondering if it's possible to change the background color in VEP. I love that we can do that with the instances. thanks!

Hi there. I have VEP running with two macs and a PC server.

I access the macs with 'Screen Sharing' and the PC with 'Microsoft Remote Desktop'. For the most part everything is working great

However, the iMac was working fine until a few months ago. The problem is, when I'm viewing a Kontakt instance on the imac via screensharing, I hear a crackle when I play a sound (while viewing that particualr instance in VEP). The wierd thing is, if I move to another instance and play the same sound the crackle goes away. And no crackle when I change the screen to another computer.

So not sure if it has something to do with Screen Sharing or VEP. It was working fine at first. It almost sounds like a sample rate issue. But it must have something to do with the GUI as I'm viewing it. The other mac doesnt have this issue.

All computers are connected manually.

Thanks!

I just had this computer custom made just for VEP 256GB of RAM so no limitations - Does VEP or Kontakt have a Ram limit?

I cannot help you to check this on a PC, sorry !

Ask to a PC guru how to check faulty memory and how to check if you are using the swap file and you are running of disk space 

Hi Paul. I downloaded and ran processexplorer.aspx but it stays minimized in the launch tray and won't expand so I can see whats going on. Do you know a solution?

 thanks!

Thanks so much Paul, I will on next attempt. The ones that crased are 8Dio, Orchestral Tools Inspire and NI Thrill.

Seems like the larger the template gets some random plugin cases this stall.

Please create a process dump when VE PRO freezes/hangs,  see the following image on how to create a minidump with process explorer:

Hi there - I recently purchased a super expensive PC server just for VEP since I am on constant score deadlines. To my horror, everyday when I load up a big VEP template, it stalls, freezes and I have to force quit at around 78%! Then I have to dig around to what plugin it might be and then change the directory so that VEP can't find it and will ask me to about loading so it can finish loading the rest.

Most of my samples I moved from a Mac computer to a PC and I batch resaved everything, however it seems as if some of the plugins are stalling the load. So even when I remove or rename the folders, VEP always finds something to stall on. I can't acertain if this is a Mac to PC problem or some other issue.

Any help appreciated!

Hi I just got a new PC DAW server and need to hook up screen sharing from my host MAC so I can controll the PC on my MAC.

I tried setting up Microsoft Remote Desktop and Anydesk but neither will connect to the PC.

VEP does show up as a slave in Logic, so I know it's seeing it.

Remote access is activated on the PC

With Microsoft Remote Desktop it just says 'Conection Refused'

With Anydesk, I tried entering the IP of the PC and I just get a 'Session Closed' message.

Any help greatly appreciated!
