I think that the point is that VE Pro does not send audio from the host to the slave. VE Pro will receive only MIDI on the slave and will send audio back to the host. So audio is one-way.
So yes, FXT is the only app that does that.

I am trying to figure out if VE Pro will run as a 64bit-App. on OSX 10.5? If so will it let us use 64bit-Plug-ins and break the 4GB barrier for samples? The next question of course is, what Plug-ins are 64bit?? I believe Kontakt 3.5 will be if they ever release it but what other 3rd party plug-ins are out there that are true 64bit? Either way I can't wait to get my hands on Vienna Ensemble Pro and put my MacPro to work!

for plugins some AU specialist needs to step in ...

I think you'll be out of luck finding many 64bit plugins at the moment. In order to run, you would need a 64bit sequencer. VE can do it because of the special wrapper/shell that it runs. I think that when a company says that they have a 64bit version for OSX, they are probably talking about a standalone.

Well that is exactly my point. If VEPro will run as a 64bit host, we will be able run 64bit Plug-ins(Kontakt3.5) and load it up with a theoretical 32Gigs of samples!? I am aware that 64bit Sequencers on the Mac are non existent but that is why a standalone workstation running VEPro would rock. If only the Plug-in manufacturers would recode for 64bit! To take this a step further, if VEPro is 64bit we should only need one instance and load multiple 32bit Sampler instruments each loaded up to the 32bit capped 3.?Gigs right???

That's how it will work in a 32-bit host. As a standalone, it's to be a 64-bit app. ON OS.X.5, using VE Pro I think it will run as one. There are apps here which DO.I believe K3.5 is 32-Bit on the Mac side, but uses a memory server to allow for loading of memory beyond 2-3gb. It should work in any 32-bit host (fingers crossed for VE Pro), either VST or AU.

So, you are pretty confident that VE Pro will host Kontakt 3.5? I did already invest in VE Pro. If it will host K3.5, I intend to invest in a second machine and run one as a slave. This is all good news, I'm more than impressed as it is, with Vienna.@cm said:
welcome robjohn33,
no, you don't need to have a Vienna Instruments Library registered for purchasing VE PRO, however it will take another month or so until it will be released ....
kompakt is a player for certain libraries - from what i've heard it will run as well as kontakt

Thanks to clarifiy this embarrassing restrictions "audio is one way". But perhaps it will be two ways in a future?!

I'm not sure I'd describe it as an "embarrassing restriction". VE Pro is designed to be an instrument host, so there is no need to have audio going in both directions. Although it would be useful to have VE Pro work like a cross-platform FX teleport it's not really what it's been created to do. Who knows though - maybe they are planning this for future versions...
Incidentally is there any more information on when we can expect it to be released? I know these things are flexible and a lot of problems can occur at the last minute but I was just wondering how it's progressing.

Sorry I didn't want to say or that someboy thinks that....! but for me it can be a restriction but not sure.. Must try when I will buy a new pc with more power... don't want for example to buy two altiverb or plugin twice

Hi all.
I'm late to the party looking at VE pro - I understand the basic nature of this major upgrade - running third party plugins across your sample based network - mac and pc... whatever... but I can't find the write up still existing anywhere. Is there still a working link where the nuts and bolts of Ve pro are explained?
Cheers

After reading Davids post i thought about it and I wonder why VSL hasn't done some type of page for this already. Like they did for MIR and every other product. They could of (should have) had a page by now dedicated to juicing up the release of this application and all its new functions. Especially since we are so close to its release date.
I just think it would catch peoples eye to see it on the main page as a coming soon. Seems like it would possibly generate more purchases of it from people who have no idea what it even is, or that it's even coming. I myself can't wait. I am so excited about it. (not the same kind of excited as running into Selma Hyack on the side of the street, but close...).

Just let VSL do their thing. No one wants it any more or any quicker than me. Let's not distract them. I'll bet they're close. They probably are shuffling around a lot of thing to decide what's going to go into ver. 1 and what they have to leave to ver 1.1.
Slightly OT but the greatest and most unexpected run-in on the street was running in to the Pope. Not kidding. NYC - just off of 62nd (or so) & Madison in the mid-90's.
