I´ve tried it in K4, no Luck yet....

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.

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.

Hi Karel ,

When i disable the Server, the dropouts dissapear....for some Reason.....

It runs smooth. I will test it again while the Setup is growing. For now, it´s fine. 

Is it a Problem from the NI side ? It looks like that.......

It could be a problem in Kontakt or both Kontakt and VE Pro. Disabling the memory server definitely seems to solve it. Kontakt 4.1 comes in a 64bit flavour, so there shouldn't be a pressing need to use the memory server there anyway.

Update: I just added the Wallander Instruments Pro Edition Brass + 1 Altiverb Instance. The Dropout phenomenon came back !No Crash so far.

Memory usage 20 - 25 % and the VSL Ensemble Pro shows me 108 % CPU , 96 Threads, Physical mem = 2.15 GB, Virt. mem = 3.47 GB

Hope that helps.

Important to mention: If you let VEP run for some hours and try to close it , the whole system gets sluggish. My 7th Core is peaking to the maximum and i have to force quit the Application which takes some time since the whole System is verry slow.

After the Force quit, everything goes back to normal.

Can anybody confirm this?

Hi all

just wanted to add myself to the list of victims. 

So the current situation is to either switch Kontakt memory server off - or to use no Vienna Instruments, right? 

It makes no difference to put one of both into the sequencer itself (here: Logic), I guess? 

Best

May I ask if anyone using the latest Logic/Macos/VEPRO versions on one machine does * not * have hanging notes and stopping engine on a regular basis? I need to know in order to decide if I stick to the system. 

Thanks for any input
