Tried going back to VEPro 4.0.4686.....Of course this doesn't work as one can not open projects / metaframes that were saved with the newer 4.0.5436.

friggin' nightmare

SvK

Praying for a next VE Pro version fix here too...

DITO !! :-(

There is a compromise that worx.....IF you are not running huge amounts of Kontakt samples (I'm running circa 1 gig of RAM within Kontakt)......Goto Kontakt / preferences / memory and UNCHECK "Use Memory Server".......now you wont have that conflict between the Kontakt Memory server and the Vienna one.....

Interesting, so it looks like on Mac it has something to do with Vienna. However, on PC, there is no memory server anyway, and the problem is still there, even without any Vienna Instruments.

Sorry, never heard about that. It doesn´t make any sense because it works with Kontakt only perfectly, even with Bidule !

I can't seem to reproduce this here. From what host are you guys connecting to the VE Pro Server? And more specifically, which plugin format (AU/VST/VST3/RTAS)?

Thanks for looking into it, Karel. 

DAW: Logic 9.1.1, OS 10.5.8, VE Pro 5436 (AU)

Server: Kontakt 3.5 (VST), Windows 7 64bit  (also tried XP64),  VE Pro 5436

It doesn't always happen. But when it does happen, it happens on the same section repeatedly, about 80% of the time. Often moving a note away from the barline helps. The worst is when all notes are quantised to 1/4 notes.  It seems to happen most often when there is a section with 4 intertwining legato string parts. I am using a private Kontakt strings library. I also tried removing all controller data from the tracks, but that doesn't help either. I am not getting the GUI hang, just note hangs, or non-playing notes. As mentioned the same patches work fine when VE Pro is in standalone mode.  

I am ruling out the sleep mode explanation, as over a section some of the notes play, some don't, some hang, all over the course of a few seconds.

Host = VE Pro

Kontakt 3.5 AU

OSX 10.6.3

it will take hours for the behavior to start occurring. Once it does, it will happen every 30 seconds or so  and get consistently worse and more frequent.

SvK

same behaviour here (OSX 10.5.8 )except the fact that it occours with the Standalone as well. Please have in mind the Behaviour i´ve described earlier when , after some time , the whole system get´s sluggish after closing.

Like i said, it doesn´t happen in Bidule. 

BTW ...I switched to Kontakt 4.1 (public Beta 64bit) today , so now I only run a VE pro 64 bit server. Will report if problems continue.

SvK

nope makes matters worse..Trying K4.1 in 32 bit server now.

SvK

BTW my machine has 4 gig of RAM to spare, so memory aint it.

FIXED!

The solution is Kontakt 4.1 in 32 bit server. Unfortunately Kontakt 4.1 still wont play nice in 64 bit server along side Vienna Instruments Instances.

SvK

I´ve tried it in K4, no Luck yet....

Exactly same behavior here! OSX 10.5.8 and 10.6.3. Local machine only. Remote machines work fine.

Nothing really changed here either. After the latest beta everything seemed to run smooth but after some reboots the problem came up again.

Even the newest Kontakt 4 release has that behaviour. 

I´ll try to screen capture it and send that to the support team.

What if you disable the Kontakt memory server?

Dezzo: Does your VEP ever come to a halt with the CPU usage stuck at 95-99%, usually closer to the end of the day? Only a reboot fixes this at my end.

My CPU meter is hanging around 17 - 20% . The Dropouts occure randomly. 

The Dropouts occure on VEP only but not in Bidule.
