  • Hallo hallo! Anybody tried Waves plugin on a Win XP 32 DAW? Many thanks for the replies.

  • NI's B4 II has MIDI problems.  Notes stick even when it is played by itself.  Everything else works; it sounds good; it just doesn't respond well to the MIDI.

    GSI's B3 VST works fine.

    The Inexpensive SONIVOX VIs are working.

    Even though BFD2 is reported as tested and working, I've had problems with it sometimes not reloading.  Most of the kit will reload, but one instrument such as the snare will have to be manually reloaded.  This doesn't always happen.  I don't think this is a VE Pro issue as I've seen similar behavior with the combination of BFD2, FX Teleport, and jbridge.

    I can also confirm as stated above that Real Guitar and Real Strat work with no issues.

    I'm using Cubase 5.1 on a 64bit Vista machine talking to two 64bit Vista slaves.


  • I have PLAY 64 working on my Vista 64 i7 Core slave. The only major issue I've encountered is that if I have multiple instruments loaded into 1 instance of PLAY, and I try to change the MIDI channel RIGHT AFTER I select the channel where PLAY is instantiated... VE Pro will crash. For me, the way around it is.. I select the channel with PLAY instantiated. PLAY gui pops up. I click on any parameter other than the MIDI channel. e.q if I click the Browser button (Must click it again because the first click doesn't register for some reason).. now I'm in the browser, I click Player and I'm back out in the Player. Now I am able to select different MIDI channels without VE pro crashing. This also works with turning the volume knob, articulations, tranpose.. it seems any parameter other than the MIDI channel select. I was able to duplicate the crash every time. Stormdrum didn't seem as sensitive to this. It would crash but not as often as Gypsy. With Gypsy.. as soon you select its channel and the gui pops up. You click the MIDI channel and boom it crashes. Keep in mind this is with multiple instruments loaded into ONE instance of Play. I have not tested out single instruments loaded into single instances of Play. Apologies for the way my post looks. I can't seem to figure out how the heck to create new paragraphs in this editor. I can hit RETURN a million times and SPACE... it just will not let me.. no indent!

  • Plogue Bidule 0.9690 (as a VST plugin) crashes VEPro on Mac OSX 10.5.8. (Not sure about on Windows) Every incarnation of the plugin will crash it.. both the VST and the FX inserts.

  • These both also work very fine:

    • Steinberg Halion Symphonic Orchestra 1.5
    • Native Instruments Battery 3

  • Paul - I am loving this software! Here's what isn't working on my stuff (an update to another post i made on this board):

    Your site says Arturia Mini Moog is working - it isn't working here.... GUI not visible, but I can hear sounds.

    Arturia Moog Modular - not able to see GUI, but I have sound.

    Albino 3, Kontakt, Absynth, Toontrack, Vienna Libs all work well.

  • Play Choirs - Full SATB using two play instruments in one VEPx64 instance (not using Play-IR but VS-Converb, tho). Works like a charm with wordbuilder in Cubase 5 without any noticeable latency while playing live. No crash as of yet.


  • Play Choirs/Orch Gold works for me (VE Pro 32bit server) as does Broadway Big Band (Halion 3.4 player).

    Can't get Focusrite Plug in suite to recognise all the plugins. Compressors work but for some reason EQ doesn't appear? This also happen in VE3 (32bit VE pro on Vista 64)

    Thanks again VSL. This is truely amazing.

  • I'm having a little problem using Kontakt 4.  It works, but each time I load an instrument I get the spinning beach ball, it turns red in the Force Quit window, and then about 3 minutes later the patch appears and VE Pro responds again.  Quite odd.  

    I'm on 10.5.8. using Pro Tools 8.0.1  I had previously been at 10.6.1 and PT 8.0.3 but I had to revert after having all my audio drives turn into "not a valid audio drive" in Pro Tools.  I'm on a 2x2.66 Ghz Dual Core Intel (January of 07), and I'll be buying a new 8-core as soon as Digi approves a version of PT for Snow Leopard.  I think updating my OS, my Pro Tools and adding VE Pro and Kontakt 4 all at the same time may have overwhelmed my (slightly) old computer.

     I didn't know K4 had been released yet? [:O]

    The strange thing is, they shipped it to me on Sept. 22nd, which is ten days before its release date of Oct 1st, and they still haven't charged my credit card for it.

    It seems to behave exactly like K3.5 as far as I can tell, but it does have a slightly nicer library and browser interface.  


  • And I get it yesterday but there is an error in the activation so I can't use it. Waiting for the support [:S]


  • These both don't work on my system:

    • Steinberg Virtual Guitarist 2 (Sounds are not loading & sometimes no instruments in the display)
    • Steinberg Virtual Bassist (Sounds are not loading)

  • concerning real guitar and real strat...

    anybody figured out how to use the pattern manager?  there seems to be no way to start it so it can't play the sequences???  everything else seems to work but without the pattern manager that is a problem.

    I have the same problem with Reaktor there is no way to start the thing running so you lose a lot of functionality.  Also the GUI for Reakor is really screwed up can't see half of the instrument and that means that you can't get to half of the knobs to adjust things.

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the software.  Just think what it will be like at version 2 or 3... scary good I'll wager!

  • Does anyone know if Kontakt 3.5 or Kontakt 4 work within VE PRO 64-bit?

    • Kontakt 3.5 works fine on my system. I have 20 instances loaded without any problems.
    • Kontakt 4 will be tested on monday, as soon as the NI support activates my licence.

    That's right. I also can't start the pattern manager.

    But now it's getting funny:

    • Virtual Guitarist, Virtual Bassist and Pattern Manager of Real Guitar and Real Strat don't work inside VE Pro.
       
    • But when you load bidule inside VE Pro and inside this bidule instance you open one of these instruments (Virtual Guitarist, Virtual Bassist, Real Guitar and Real Strat), everything works, also the pattern manager! 

  • Hi, East West Play and VE pro don't function when run together in logic 9. Logic crahes when trying to open E/W Play when VE Pro is running. Note that i'm not talking about running play on my slave PC, but simply use my Play Plug-in and VE pro at the same time. This is not possible at the moment. 8 core 2,8 Ghz Logic 9.0.1 Play version 1.2.3 VE pro

  • Thanks Petera!


  • Just did some tests -- opening an older session where I used to run Kontakt in standalone but now run Kontakt 4 in VE Pro, when I load a patch it takes about three minutes of spinning beach ball before the patch appears.  Starting a session from scratch I can't recreate the problem; patches load as normal.  

    If I can't reproduce it, I can't really call it a bug or an incompatibility -- just a mystery.

    (FYI:  That's 10.5.8 on Quad 2x2.66 Mac Pro, Pro Tools 8.0.1 and Kontakt 4.)
