which PT version do you use ?

If it is PT10 then you can also install the aax version of VEP 5 (maybe you have it installed but did always use the RTAS version ...?). Open a project with VEP 5 RTAS in use and exchange the RTAS version with the AAX version via the plugin menu (there should be both versions available). the settings will be remembered. Save the project and now it can be opened with VEP 6. That was at least my experience... 

Of course VEP5 and 6 cannot be installed at the same time, so this is somewhat a cumbersome workaround- but still it works.

Maybe the programmers find a solution for one of the next updates that the RTAS setting will be recognized by VEP6 and loaded correctly

+1

same here - crashes at loading projects that work fine with V5 - re-installed V5, waiting until a more stable version is available

1. a browser-system for loading channel-sets  

 it´s a nightmare navigating through menus, submenus, submenus again and again .... only to choose the next setting

2. midi-realtime properties for each channel (like transpose, velocity & cc - scaling etc.)

no one ?

if I try to instanciate Native Instruments VI´ like Absynth 4, B4II, Electric Piano, Pro-53, Reaktor (all from the Komplete 5 Bundle), VE Pro shows a dialog box with the following error message:

Error /Users/mjachimo/CVS/ni/1.4.9/uia/src/MacOS/GDI/DeviceContext_UIA_MACOS.cpp:914

....hitting okay crashes VE Pro

all other plugs of that bundle work fine (Kontakt 3.5, Battery 3, FM8, Massive)

I´m on a Mac G5, VE Pro runs as a RTAS plug in ProTools 8

any help is very appreciated

Ah ... cool

thanks & cheers

I have some older plugs only available as VST, that´s the reason

thanks

maybe there are some settings/preferences I missed... but how to acces VST plugs in VEP on mac (running as rtas in Protools) ?. There are only AU showing up in the list 

any help is very appreciated

how do you get kontakt 4 working on ppc, it´s only intel - so far I know

thanks in advance

thanks for answering

but it doesn´t help, I can kill all vsl related processes such as the vsldaemon2 (there´s no process running called 'vslserver')

the server process seems still to be active, probably kind of crashed and not responding properly

if VE Pro (Server-Application, 32 bit on a G5 Quad) crashes, it´s not possible to re-launch it without a system restart (Mac OS X Leopard).

after trying to re-launch there comes up an error message: Unable to create Server Object. The Server application might be already running, or the requested network port is not available.

that means of course that you have to close your host (in my case Pro Tools) and load the project completely new  ;-(

any help is very appreciated

Thank you Paul for answering so fast.

I´ve installed the lastest VI updates as well as Syncrosoft LCC.

What I can observe is that the midi-input of the plug-in gets lost after patch-changing. You can see it at the plugin-keyboard, which doesn´t show any midi activity. Sometimes it helps to change the mastertune (crazy) in the perform-section, but not always. Re-instanciating the plugin brings functionailty back.

Greatings, Josef

if I assign another patch in the Vienna Instruments Plug-In, sometimes sound-output loses and there´s also no midi-response. Re-instanciating the plug brings back sound-output. Any ideas for fixing this problem ? Thanks, J.F.

My setup:Mac PPC G5 Quad, 8,5 GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.11, Logic Pro 8.0.1, Pro Tools 7.4cs2, HD3 Accel
