  • (Solved) DP7.22 and VE opening unwanted duplicate instances of the plugin

    I have upgraded to VE software 4.1.7644 and whenever I open a new instance of the plugin in Digital Performer, a new 64-bit instance opens up (normal behavior).  However, a few seconds later, a 32-bit instance of VE also opens up.  Whenever I close this new instance, it reloads automatically after a few seconds.  I don't understand why this would be happening.  This also was happening with the previous release of VE 4.1 (downloaded in December 2010).  

    update 03Feb11:  After much experimenting, this seems to solve the problem of the unwanted duplicate instances on Mac:

    • Uninstall VE
    • Delete vsl preferences in library>audio>preferences (about 4-5 different files)
    • Restart 
    • Reinstall VE (latest Mac version)
    • Run directory manager to redirect library
    • Run Vienna Ensemble and Vienna Ensemble (64-bit) each on their own, verifying they are configured correctly and making sounds
    • Launch DP, and see if the duplicate instance still loads.

    I'm unable to reproduce this here in any way. Could you describe step by step what you are doing exactly? Thanks.

    I just put this on the MOTUNATION forum: VE Pro Problems with DP7.22? Bundles? by hrw » Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:39 am I'm having an annoying time with VE Pro and DP. it happens sometimes that when i keep my VE Pro sessions open (on host or slave) that when i then change DP projects that it loads and connects it to new and empty VE Pro instances. I've got the correct naming of them and everything and i use VE Pro is always decoupled so i don't have to reload everything most of the time. Also sometimes the right name doesnt come up straight away when its on local host?? Anyone have similar issues or solutions?

    ...this also was the previous version (DEC download). Am about to install latest one. Looks like i have a similar problem to fsstudio though!

    This is all I'm doing in DP

    Create new session

    Add new instrument track > Vienna Ensemble

    After the initial VE instance loads, a second instance starts up (I then have 2 VE icons open in the dock).  It looks like the first instance is a 64-bit instance of VE and the second instance that loads appears to be a 32-bit instance of it.  After closing the second instance that loads (without saving), it reloads on it's own after a few seconds.

    I guess our problems are a little different but both involve unwanted instances.

    Just in case it helps..... I am also a DP7.22 user, Mac G5 Quad PPC, OS 10.5.8. I have just loaded Vienna Ensemble V4.1.7644 (NOT VE Pro, please note) and I did not reproduce the unwanted 32 bit opening.

    I'm happy to report (so far so good) that this seems to have fixed the issue for me! Thank you for your solution and i hope it continues this way! Thanks again! Haydn.
