If that's the final decision then that's VERY disappointing news. (at least PPC Host support would have been something)

Intel only???

I can't believe.

I purchased VE3 ( VE3 Pro) to use with my slaved Windows XP and Run ( VE3 Pro) inside DP on my PPC G5 .

Very frustrating ,

 Maybe contact support to see if you can sell your licence to someone else.

DG points out exactly the 4 biggest reasons for having this product for most people.  Adding the network feature to that list makes it the ultimate to have right now on the market for me.  I simply cannot WAIT to be able to have a one button push for "learn" mode.  Talk about an unbelievable memory saver, and time saver.  The other thing is preserve mode, dear god this will save me so much time because I often do a save as and have two running copies of my project that I flip back and forth from.

Example, I am working on project 1 and I like the patches used, most midi data is recorded and done and the piece is really coming to life.  Then I save it as project 1 reverb testing.  At this point I go manipulate all kinds of parameters and play with the mix etc in this new environment without screwing up my perfect base line project.  After I find the right mix, I apply it piece by piece to my original project.  It works for me and I will be so happy to be able to tab back and forth without waiting 5 minutes for a patch reload.

I am not speaking on behalf of VSL here but for those of you on PPC why don't you try it out first before jumping to conclusions it won't work?  It may not be supported but Logic 9 also said (no way in hell will we run on a G5) and sure enough, thousands are doing it.  If it works, I just wouldn't suggest doing any updates to it unless you're protected by a backup.  You might get lucky who knows.

Are there any performance differences in using VE vs. several VI instances in the host?

I currently use Cubase 5 whereone instrument channel is one VI instance. Why would one use VE? What are the benefits/differences?

Thanks

If you are running lots of VI's it's the only way to go for organizing all those players. Otherwise you have VI players all over your desktop and are clicking around all the time. There are numerous other features such as routing, panning, effects inserts. It's a very elegant host solution.

Yes, but I can do that in cubase can I not? Or are you refering to several instances of VE as well? I am a bit confused here.

Thanks for your reply

Yes you can but if you load 16 VI players (or twice that or more) than you have to constantly open and close them to get at them. With VE you just open it and then can scroll  up and down with all the players held perfectly in place. It saves tons of time and hassle. If you can look at a tutorial here that shows the interface you will see the obvious benefits.

c'mon guys! you can't be serious!!! I only bought the VE 3 a few days ago, because i wanted to host some 3rd party plug ins and a part of my symphonic cube on a slave G5 PPC with the VE-Pro upgrade. your VE-Pro preview page says nothing(!!!) about "intel only". it's not acceptable! you guys have to work it out!

So, it will not work on PCs at all? If it will, will it run on AMD, too?

Of course it works on PCs, it's  only the old legacy Macs that can't run it.

Thanks. I was getting worried when someone said "Intel only" and MAC.

What OS are you intending to use?

I don't work for VSL, but they have stated more than once that there are no current plans to release VE Pro for PPC. You can take that as a never, or not now, or not for a few months. It's up to you. [:'(]

However, do bear in mind that it's not just a question of programming time, it's also a question of testing time for a defunct platform. What they could do is estimate the cost of all that, publish the figure, and then do some sort of group buy where the more people who sign up (and pay in advance) the cheaper it would be. That way it would cost them nothing, and you would get what you want. [;)]

DG

Dual, Quad and 8 core G5  have still long life to run.

It is very cost effective to use them as farms to run our libs

PLEASE VSL make VE PRO to work on PPC 

Correct me if I am wrong : with the actual C compilers I thought it was just a question to compile the source to use PPC code instead of Intel 

Best
