It is normal for the VSL Daemon to be marked "not responding" ("reagiert nicht") in the Activity Monitor. It remains with this marking throughout operations, but, nonetheless, works. This is also true of the VI software as well as the VE software. However, I can confirm that opening a file with two instantiations of Vienna Instruments causes Logic 8 to crash. Attempting to implement the fix that Paul describes below also did not work - - I was able to quit VE within Activity Monitor, yet the control panel windows associated with VE remained visible and Logic 8 stayed marked as "not responding."

Hi everybody,
this is a known bug - we are already working on it.
Loading songs that contain more than 2 Vienna Ensembles do not open - the only workaround for now is to close the "Vienna Ensemble" process in the Activity Monitor. The song will load and the samples will load as soon as you "reconnect" the interface.
Sorry for the inconvenience, a fix can be expected :-), but I cannot give you a date yet.
Best,
Paul

Paul:
I tried the procedure you describe, but it did not work. I was able to quit VE with Activity Monitor, but the control panels associated with VE remained visible and Logic 8 continued to be marked as not responding. The song never loaded. Logic had announced previously that it was having difficulty loading a plugin.

Paul:
As I posted above, the procedure you outlined did not work with Logic 8. Ostensibly I could stop the VE processes using Activity Monitor, but the small control panel windows remained visible and Logic continued to be marked as "not responding." Logic had, in fact, crashed and had to be force quit.
In addition to this, the bug which causes VE to launch whenever Finale is launched was made worse by the attempting the procedure you described. Not only did VE launch, but Finale and VE crashed - - and had to be force quit. I was then unable to open any Finale files. (None of these files have VE instantiated because because, of course, VE cannot be instantiated within Finale since Finale is limited to "powered by Native Instruments" plugins. It's just that VE launches - - for no immediately obvious reason and to no purpose - - every time Finale is launched.) Luckily, I was able to correct this aberrant behavior - - to the extent that I can once again successfully open Finale files (even though VE continues to launch itself when Finale is launched) by rebuilding the startup disk's directory, once again, with DiskWarrior.
If my experience is any guide, VSL users should refrain from instantiating more than one instance of VE in Logic 8 until this bug has been fixed.

Hi All, I'm a Logic 8 user, and I posted a similar experience already under another subject heading. I can confirm that Logic 8 will not re-open any file that has two instances of VE. Logic becomes unresponsive, and quitting out of VE makes no difference. Unless we can come up with a solution or workaround, any Logic 8 file with 2 VEs is for the moment, DOA. Cheers, James
