1.VEP Logic Template, and using more than 3 Instances 8/22/2019 2:09:35 PM

I'm using VEPro 7 and Logic 10.4.4. I have created a VEPro template 4 Instances (WINDS, PERC, STRINGS, BRASS), and I want to use the Logic AU3 BETA Template. But the project only has 24 port 3 instances project. I know I could move merge my instances and then it would be fine. But I want there to be 3 distinct instances like this. How do I create another set of Instrument and MIDI ports in the project that will connect to another instance. Does this need to be done in the envirnomnet? And ow do you set it up. Is there a guide somewhere?

2.VEPro with Logic - Create a Reverb send with VEP hosting the reverb 8/18/2019 8:44:20 PM

Thanks Ben,

Will try this out and see if it works.

3.VEPro with Logic - Create a Reverb send with VEP hosting the reverb 8/17/2019 8:48:00 PM

I'm trying to figure out how to create a reverb send in Logic. But I want the reverb unit to be in a VEPro instance and then on a track in Logic I can use a bus to send a part of the signal to it. From videos I've seen I've only seen how to use the Audio Event to switch the output form a track to a channel on a VEP instance where you then add the plug-in. Hope this makes sense but I want it to work the same way I would creat e normal send in Logic.

What I tried is a set up a Bus in Logic. Then I added VSL Audio Input, assigned it to an instance and set an input to stereo 1-2.

Then in that instance I have created a new Input Channel, assigned it to the same input. And then have added a reverb plugin to this.

But then in Logic when I try send some of the track to the bus I can see the meters moving in the VEP instance. But I can't hear anything in Logic. Is there a step I am missing?

4.Can't install AU3 for Vienna Ensemble Pro 7/6/2019 1:34:43 PM

I can't seem to install AU3 for Vienna Ensemble Pro 7. I meet all the minum requirements. I have OS High Siera 10.13.6 installed and Logic 10.4.4.

But when I run the installed the AU3 option is greyed out and it says its going to skip the installation

An ideas what I am missing?

5.Disable Channel on Slave on Master Computer 3/8/2018 6:47:11 PM

Is there anyway to disable/enable a channel from your master computer, with VEPro on the slave machine? For example anyway to send a CC message on the track from the DAW to the channel in VEPro on the slave?

This would make it alot easier then doing it through Remote Desktop.  I hope there is a way

Thanks,

Gary

6.VEP6 and Logic Multi template 7/5/2017 9:28:10 PM

I ditched the Multi template for Logic. Couldn't get it working right. Plus I did a bit of research and it works better with Logic and VEPro to use single instruments in Logic, and then connect these to single VEP instances. So you use more instances, but you get better performance. I did find that in Logic I could create a Multi out instruments. Then in the Arrangement area if I clicked to add another track underneath it, it would add a MIDI instrument with the next MIDI channel. All I needed to do was then change some of the Outputs for the tracks in Logic, and in Kontakt in VEPro. I found this in the Groove3 tutorial. It works pretty well.

Groove3 - VEPro Explained

The only downside is that you can freeze a multi-instrument like this in Logic. But that's really the only downside.

So that's one way around it. Or else use single instruments in Logic linked to single instances in VEPro, and if you do wanna do some articulation switching you can use SkiSwitcher. I found this works pretty well. So I only ned to have one instrument and use SkiSwitcher to do all the articulation switching for me.

Hope this helps. VEPro can be quite a setup hound. But once you get over the hurdles with it and Logic it works pretty well.

FYI, I've currently moved over to Cubase, because of its better handling with multitimbral instruments and VEP.

7.VEP6 crashing when playback in Logic Pro X 9/22/2016 5:31:36 PM

Thanks for the help marnix.

Glad to know where the issue is. Jay Asher mentioned on the VI Control forum that it's an issue with PLAY VST on Mac. Works fine with PLAY AU. So I'll use the AU format for now.

 

Thanks again

8.VEP6 crashing when playback in Logic Pro X 9/22/2016 9:58:02 AM

My VEP6 was working fine a few weeks back. Ive just recently done the latest update (Sept 19th update). And now if I run VEP6 on my master computer running Logic Pro X, when I start playback in a project connected to the  local host instances in VEP6 it crashes VEP. I also did the Kontakt 5.6 update. I though it could of been that, but I rolled back to Kontkat 5.5.1 and it does the same thing.

I've also updated VEP6 to the latest version on my PC Slave. But if Logic on the master connects to instances of VEP6 on the Slave PC, when press playback in Logic it doesn't crash VEP6 on the PC.

Anyone else having similar issues? Or anyone know what it could be?

9.[SOLVED] Moving SE Woodwinds library to another eLicensor Key 8/25/2016 12:46:58 PM

Hi Guys,

I wonder if you can help. I've got my SE Woodwinds library on my one eLicensor. I also recently got VEP6 and another eLicensor. What I want to do is move my SE Woodwinds to my other eLicensor as this will be on my Slave PC. So I want to load up my Woodwinds instruments up on my slave instead of my master. The key I have it on currently is the one on my Master PC with Cubase.

I wanted to check how I move this license from the one key to the other. Do I deactivate it on the one key through the eLicensor software, and then activate it on the new key?

Just wanna make sure I'm doing the right thing before messing up my key and activation.

Thanks in advance for any help

EDIT:

OK, I solved this after searching further. It was quite easy. All done in the eLicensor Control Center. I just dragged the Woodwinds library from the one key to the other key and it asked me if I wanted to transfer the license. It was that easy. 

10.VEP6 and Logic Multi template 8/10/2016 11:45:38 AM

Yeah the multitimbral instruments are set to all.

The VEP instances are fine.

It's in Logic. For example if I connect an instance on VE Pro Main 1 it works.

But if I disconnect that, and then connect VE Pro Main 2 to the same instance, the MIDI channels don't work. ONly the instrument track which gets sent to MIDI channel 1, even if have it set to all.

So its the VE Pro 2_ stacked MIDI tracks that don't seem to be working

11.VEP6 and Logic Multi template 8/10/2016 9:41:50 AM

Ok, so I figured the 6 x 16 template would work well. As that would cover enough for me. But I've found that the fist VEP instrument in Logic works. But the second one when I connect it to an instance I can't hear the instrument on different MIDI channels when I go to a different MIDI track in Logic. I've set up the routing correctly in my VEP instance but on the second VEP instrument in Logic it only receives audio on MIDI channel 1, when I go to the other MIDI tracks it's not sending it to VEP. Any ideas?

12.VEP6 and Logic Multi template 8/10/2016 8:16:45 AM

So I have decided to go the multi template route with Logic. I was gonna use the single isntance per instrument. But I am also using Cubase. So it'll be better to use the mutiport template route. I just wanted to check something. I want to break my instances down into: Perc, Strings, Brass, and Woodwinds. I see that iwth the Multiport template I have 3 options: 1 x 16, 2 x 48, and 6 x 16

So let's say I use the 1 x 16 template. How do I create another instrument in Logic which is gonna link to another instance and then assign the Multi instruments and it's ports to it? Do I need to duplicate these in the Environment? I haven't worked much in the Environment, so this is a bit of an unknown territory for me.

13.VEPro with Cubase 8.5 7/11/2016 10:02:31 AM

Thanks Paul,

Yeah definitely seems like alot of different ways depending on the workflow.

I'll check into using the Rack instruments, with Folder tracks.

Also, with the Mix balance do you do this in Cubase or in the VEP instances, or with Kontakt in VEP?

14.VEPro with Cubase 8.5 7/11/2016 6:49:26 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm new to VEPro with Cubase 8.5 and was just wondering how you set it up.

So I want to create a different instance for each instruments. So for example for Violins I'll have one patch, and Cellos another. And in each of these instances I want to load up the different articulations as not a fan of using keyswitching. I'd rather use VST Expression in Cubase. First off I was wondering in VEP do you add one plugin of Kontakt in the instance and then add multiple instruments into Kontakt and then just assign different MIDI channels. Or do you use multiple Kontakt plugins each with a single instrument articulation

Then in Cubase how do you manage your tracks. Do you create an instrument track linked to the VEP instance and then additional MIDI tracks routed to the different MIDI channels. That's what I've don so far.

And then do you use group tracks or folder tracks to manage the instruments in the Cubase project?

I'm sure there's many different ways of going about this, but wanted to check what the most popular methods.

Thanks in advance for any info. Feels like a minefield first getting into VEP. But an amazing app.
