    Can plugins within VE Pro only access a single core, or does VE Pro assign plugins to multiple cores if availiable? I am currently using PLAY within VE Pro with success, however I believe it is only using PLAY on a single core, and wondering if putting it in its own VE Pro instance could resolve the strain it may be having on my CPU.

    Thanks!

    The processing of channels inside VE Pro is spread across cores, but not processing of a single plugin instance. This is the responsability of the plugin, not the host.

    Thanks for the response Karel. So for example, if I have PLAY, two instances of Kontakt, a few audio plugins inserts, ect. in ONE instance of VE Pro, will it use multiple cores?

    Would I benefit from putting Kontakt instances in its own VE Pro Instance, and PLAY in its own VE Pro instance?

    Has anyone else tested this? It seems like it wouldn't impact the resources, but I could be wrong!

    No, multiple instances will not improve anything. In a single instance things are already spread between cores. The threads setting in the preferences sets the amount of threads per VE Pro instance (an instance being a standalone or an instance in the server). This is also explained in the VE Pro manual.

    Thanks Karel. I obviously overlooked that in the manual :-)
