How about doing a 2,3 & 4 roompack bundle price for all of us who bought the original MIR Pro? Much as I'd like to add those to my collection I obviously don't need to buy RP1 again!

Since the latest upgrade Musiclab plug functionality appears to have taken a step back as I can't get RG to load satisfactorily on my Mac (10.8.2) slave but it appears to work on PC - or has it always been the case and my memory banks are in need of a refresh? So much upgrading going on it can sometimes be a challenge to keep track of it all!

It was my mistake. I had (wrongly) assumed that VEP had MIR incorporated within the standard install and that the license key would unlock the feature. Of course, when I returned to the website I discovered the actual MIR install software which I've now successfully applied and everything is working as it should.
The only downside: I have to read the manual......
:)

I have the current version of VEP (5.1.11716), an activated MIR demo license and the Demo Room Pack installed but there is no MIR tab appearing when VEP is running. How do I get this to work?

Mac OS 10.6.8. Quad Core Intel Xeon.

I'm having a major problem in that I cannot load up a project saved with a previous version. I've updated on all my computers, done the eLicenser check and, whether in standalone mode or loading the project from the original song in Pro Tools, I get "the file you are trying to load was created with a newer version of Vienna Ensemble Pro". Clearly it wasn't so I'm pretty stuck at the moment. I can't load the viframe64 file separately as it just gives me the same message.

Thanks but I should have mentioned: I use Pro Tools HD, not Logic. I'm sure this bit of info will help someone though.

Finally got it sorted with this piece of advice from EW Techsupport:

When you open Play in Standalone mode, go to Settings >Other and check to see what library is showing in Play Interface. Make sure that the first library selected there is a library that you own. If it is one that you don't have, it will give that same error message when you try to open it as the vst.

Absolutely. Before I posted here. EW support is taking somewhat longer to reply than contributors here. Currently still waiting.................

Thanks for the replies, people.

I'm running the latest versions of all applications concerned - including eLicenser & iLok software

Neither 64bit nor 32bit versions of VEP will load into Play.

Play Standalone works fine. My Kontakt 4 loads into VEP fine in both standalone and server mode.

I'm afraid I'm still clueless as to what's causing this!

I am running 64bit VEP on my 64bit system - that is why I set this PC up to run W7 64bit. Play is 64bit compatible and certainly runs in standalone mode that way, just not as a plugin in VEP. I think the problem lies in the Play install but I can't find that out (probably) without diving into the registry - and then I'd have to know exactly what I was looking for.

Hi paul

I'm running a 64bit system. Will the 32bit version of VEP install?

I've been having major problems with the latest EW Play update which have involved me un-installing and then re-installing all my EW libraries and the current update. Yes, that was fun!

Although Play standalone loads instruments fine I can not get the plugin to load into VE pro. I just get the message "Product does not exist" and"check installation". My copy of Kontakt (+libraries) loads fine so the problem appears to involve the interaction of Play and VE Pro.

I've emailed EW support so will probably get a response in 10 days or so; in the meantime, has anybody here experienced this and, if so, how have you fixed it?

Setup: VEPro Server (Windows 64bit build 7644) on i7 PC with 12Gb RAM, Windows 7 - all used to work fine. I've re-added my sample directories using the Directory Manager (which, btw, constantly hangs with each add) and they are showing up in the DM window.

VST plugins and the EasWest plugin folder appear to be correctly populatyed with the relevant dll and VST plugs.

I'm at a loss as to what to try next so any assistance welcome!

I'm also getting dropout issues but with no CPU overload showing either on host or server running in 32bit mode. Host is a quad core Mac 12Gb RAM OS10.6.5 running ProTools 8.1 & VEP plugin. Server is same OS, 8 Core mac 16Gb RAM using VEP + VIP (haven't tried Kontakt). The dropouts seem random - no sign that they're related to CPU spikes or other processes. I've watched the Activity Monitor whilst running the VEP/VIP combination and nothing untoward appears to be happening. VEP CPU load about 25%. Currently running Pro Tools with 256 samples delay but higher values seem to make no diference. I also have another issue where, the first time I go into record, the VEP/VIP sound distorts. The only way I can resolve this is by saving the session, quitting Pro Tools and then restarting. PT will then go into record without the accompanying distortion from VEP.

I'm having issues with a PPC Dual 2.7GHz G5 (4Gb RAM, OS 10.5.8) slave not loading a number of Native Instruments plugs. Absynth, Akoustik Piano, B4, Battery, Elektrik Piano, Pro 53, any number of Kompakt Player instruments.....they all cause VEP (either server or standalone) to crash. Oddly enough, Kontakt 3.5 works, as do FM8 & Massive. Sometimes I get an error message, other times just a blank space where the plug GUI should load.

I'm using a Dual 2.7GHz PPC 7Gb RAM as master (Pro Tools HD) and an 8 core (16GB RAM) Intel Mac as slave. Works very nicely. I also tried an identical PPC (4Gb RAM though) as a slave and that was definitely struggling - enough to encourage me to go out and buy a v cheap (as in Aldi cheap!) quadcore PC on Saturday. Have yet to test the PC but need to experiment more with the PPC slave as there may well be some latency settings etc that I can change which will get it up to speed as a convincing slave. In fact if anybody else has discovered some suitable stings please post!

In the meantime I will continue to experiment.

One thing I am unclear about: when I open an instance of VEP in PTools the main GUI (not the small one with buffer settings etc) loads on the slave computer only and not on the host machine. Of course, I can access this using Apple remote desktop but it would be nice if all the relevant slave GUIs were visible from within the master environment. Is this just a PPC thing or a feature on all platforms?

Apologies for the lack of details but I have, in the meantime, solved the problem. I discovered that I had to run EO in standalone version first and then it loaded up fine in VEP. This may have something to do with the fact that I'm new to VI and assumed it would work straight after installation. Thanks anyway!

Seems to be unusable: When I load VEPro it goes into scanning mode and never comes out of it. I've tried re-installing EO but it's just the same. What is going on?

Ditto Albino - it plays but cannot see the GUI. If you load it into Kore it is then visible and editable. Play, on the other hand, will crash VEPro even if launched in Kore. Now, what ARE EW thinking of........?
