Chuck, in order to get more than 3GB you have to run multiple standalones.

By the way Christian, What do I have to do in order to get line-feeds between my paragraphs? It use to work when I was using Explorer but since I've switched to Safari, the problem has risen. I even tried multiple carriage returns in previous post with no luck. Is there something on my end I need to configure? Chuck
I'll get shouted at for this, but the simple answer is not to use Safari.

DG, As far as exceeding the 3GB I understand the multiple instances. I was hoping to hear that work by the VI development was being done on the VI engine so that a single instance of the server (i.e. used exclusively in Cubase for example - single configuration) would handle exceeding the 3GB limit. I also was fearing that Safari was the culprit with the line-feeds on the forum. No configuration on my end to change is there using Safari? Chuck

Hmm. My undertstanding is that this is EXACTLY what VE is addressing. I don't have a large amount of ram to access(yet [;)]) so I cannot varify your problems. I read somewhere in the forum that Herb was running a 16 gig Mac using VE with tons of VI's loaded up. Just wondering b/c I plan on using VE much more when I get my "dream machine" built.
Actually, I mentioned somewhere else that I wished VSL would make VE something of a VSTi rack that would/could support 3rd party synths. Kind of like a software FX Teleport. I don't know what the legal ramifications are,but man THAT WOULD ROCK!!!![:P]
Anyhow,keep up all the cool stuff VSL !

chuck, if this went down between my whining ... ;-)
depelopment is done and it is only a matter of time until we have the tools to give you the tools ... of course we all would love to have all in a single instance breaking the 4 GB on all platforms.
the safari issue is an issue with the used rich-text editor and as i assume the KJS engine (javascript interpreter) safari is using - the community software is not the only one having troubles with it (actually the german OSX developer blog is affected ... haha)
possibly the limitation of the KJS call stack to 100 entries is the reason but we have already set up a new test system to investigate with different editors and/or settings - there is a lot of AJAX involved so i ask you for patience ... the guys developing tinyMCE are also working on a possible solution.
the workaround (for paragraphs in a post and other formatting options) would indeed be to use firefox on the mac for the moment
christian
and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds. -
Thank's Christian,,, I won't loose any sleep over the lack of paragraphs. I just wanted to make sure that there was not some configuration that I could have done with Safari to prevent the formating issue. Thanks again. Chuck

Multiple standalones on the Apple platform (I'm referring to Ensemble only) can be launched by taking the application program and making multiple copies while changing each copies name (i.e. ensemble01, ensemble02, ensemble03 ect). When you launch ensemble 01, it has allocated it's own 2.5 GB of memory for it's use. Then launch ensemble02 and you pick up an additional 2.5 GB of memory. Continuing the process allows you to access as much RAM as you have available. Another approach I've seen people use is to launch 1 standalone of VI and then run VI in a sequencer. This provide 3.0 GB of RAM for the standalone and another 3.0 GB RAM for the instance launched in the sequencer application. Multiple instances with in a sequencer utilizes the same RAM space so you do not gain any additional RAM using that method. Multiple Ensembles on the Mac is where you gain the most from a RAM perspective. The issue then is addressing when using a stand-alone how to get the audio back to the sequencer -- another subject of which I'm not an expert by no means. On a PC, 64-bit gives it to you with a single instance. Hope I answered you question clear enough...... Chuck

Chuck, I want to thank you so much for your essential answer to my question. It's absolutely solved my problem. Here's how to return the audio to a sequencer, should that prove important to you one day. Go here: http://www.cycling74.com/downloads/soundflower Download soundflower for your operating system. It is a 24 bit, 96 khz sound driver that allows you to send 16 channels of audio between audio programs. You can monitor any of these channels through your built-in sound card. I am using it now to channel audio between Main Stage, Vienna Ensemble and Digital Performer. It is flawless. Again, many thanks for advancing my work this week. Tremendous. Fitz
