  • VEP: 32-bit Play Instantiation = "Serious Error"

    S

    PPC Quad 2.5, 8G RAM, OS 10.5.8

    Several attempts to instantiate a 32-bit instance of Play in VEP have resulted consistently in producing this error:

    After clicking "OK", I see this:

    It's the "Controls" version of the GUI as opposed to the "Editor" view. Despite the "serious error" I'd be fine with this ugly display (it's just looks), but there's no way to select sounds.

    Is this a known issue?

    (BTW, I would have been happy to provide the version number of the Play engine, if only I were able to find it.)

    One thought; make sure you're not attempting to use the Intel only versions of PLAY.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm running a PPC-compatible version. (System specs at the top of my original post). Play works fine in Logic but doesn't play nice in VEP.

    Which version of Play and VE Pro are you using? I believe Play was fixed since version 2.0.18.

    Hi ,

    the  very last version of PLAY that works on PPC's is version   v1.2.5.3 ( for both OS 10.4  and OS 10.5 ) .

    However , the very  first  version of PLAY that was compatible with VEPRO (32bit)  was  v.2.0.18 ( minimum requirements OS 10.5.8 / Intel only ! ), which  no longer  supports the PPC platform .

    Therefore you cannot use PLAY within VEPRO on PPC .

    From my very subjective point of view let me add this :

    PLAY within VEPRO on PPC would not perform that well anyway , only the very light PLAY libraries like FabFour and Silk would be usable .

    Best
