Was that a pig flying by?
ROTFL - that reminds me on the pink floyd animals tour ... at least i think it was called so ... or was it dark side of the moon?
stevesong gave already the right overview and searching for OSX and 64bit here in the forum might dig out a series of further explanations
sidestep: pitt, VE3 is intentionally a network solution and AFAIK the stand-alone can open as many instances as the VE2 stand-alone (remember: separate process = separate memory space up to what the 64bit operating system allows)
back to the flying pig ... i'd consider it actually as ridiculous to call for handing over VI to the Open Source (would you ask this for kontakt, giga and EXS too?
and: how would you think *open source* will setup a license agreement with syncrosoft?
or at first: with VSL, because which other sounds than such configured by VSL would even be able to use this very complex engine?
so to counterquestion this clearly: do you expect VSL to make performance detection open source?

Then this bit of news that VE 3 doesnt really support multiple instances.
sorry, i don't understand this statement ... i have seen with my own eyes multiple instances of VE (3) open across network or actually on the localhost.
christian
well, exactly the GUI is what's troublesome often ... the server is a *snap* to be done in 64bit (AFAIK it already compiles well with a beta version of the carbon API) ... anyway ... as long as i am only somehow in touch with support issues you will see me strictly voting against opensource.
regarding your post with the setup above: if i understand this right your main DAW is used as MASTER and the macBook as SLAVE (not clear to me from where sibelius acts) - but have you already considered to change roles? on the main DAW out of logic it shouldn't be a problem to run VE3 then as localhost after export.

The benefit, IMO, would be running XP64 on the Mac Pro via Bootcamp and being able to load many more samples over the network, without having to resort to clunky workarounds. That way, when 64bit is possible on OSX you could use the same machine the other way round; or not.
Of course the problem for you is that you run logic and DP, neither of which work in Windows, so I don't think that there is another neat solution.
DGHi Steve,
that´s correct.
... or did I misunderstand it? (Actually I hope so!)

Or an English staying; Cut off your nose to spite your face. [:P]
Anyway. Your choice in the end. Meanwhile I'm quite happy loading my 7.5GB template on one computer using plugin instances, and not having to worry about virtual MIDI cables, Soundflower Jack Sh*t. [:)]
DG2. Regardless of the number of instances, the 32bit version of the VE3 standalone is limited to ~3.2G
that's correct - as any other 32bit program the addressable memory space per process is 4 GB, in fact less ...
let me double check if seperate processes open when i'm in the office tomorrow - i don't have a mac with large memory here

@cm said:
i think a picture says more than 100 words ... however as mentioned: i can't fill both instances with 3.2 GB on this machine here because of too little memory
Did you manage to test it on a machine with more than 4 GB?
As I said earlier, I am considering buying a Mac Pro with lots of RAM. My question: Will it be possible to run several instances of VE3 connected to the sequencer (DP in my case) on the same machine, so that every instance of VE3 can use its own 3.2 GB of memory?
