  • VEP- Soooo tired of "Could not load plugin"

    On my Mac Pro slave machine VEP server, OS 10.6.6

    My Mac Pro master machine is running DP 7.2.1, OS 10.6.6

    VEP 7644

    With Kontakt 4. It used to be that placing a "dummy" Vienna Instrument at the last slot in the server instance would solve that problem for me, but now that workaround is not even working anymore. Today, it loaded the dummy instrument and the Kontakt that was second to last, but none of the Kontakt instances that come before. They are shown to be there in the mix view, but the channels are empty and the samples don't get loaded. It's a really complicated orchestral instance, and rebuilding it is very time consuming. Guys, (with respect) are we close to getting a fix for this? I've had it in several of the latest versions.

    Thanks!!

    I use that OS version and this build of VE Pro. This never happens here, kontakt 4 presents no problems in either the 32-bit or 64-bit VEP servers.

    I would venture a guess it's a setting in Kontakt, such as multi-processing is enabled (don't, that's for kontakt standalone strictly speaking) or you are using the memory server in a way VE Pro can't handle; eg., with EWQL Play installed - Play memory server under OSX runs always and the two are incompatible.

    Were the projects saved with an older version of VE Pro? This bug was fixed some versions ago and was related to saving, not loading.

    Hmmm, yes I think this may be the case. I will rebuild this whole setup from scratch (3-64 bit and 1-32 bit instances) and see if that ends the problem.. It's good to know that it's been fixed, thanks!

    Also, I think I have the multi-processor function on in my Kontakt prefs, so I'll turn that off.. do you guys think I need the "memory server" pref in Kontakt, if I'm only using 64 bit instances in VE Pro?

    the purpose of memory servers is to extend the memory address outside the host in 32-bit applications. there isn't a reason to use it in x64 application.

    That's what I thought.

    Thanks Civilization 3 and Karel!

    Oh, one more question if you please. The slave machine (8-core Mac Pro) boots into 32 bit mode automatically. Should I boot into 64 bits instead? Would it make any difference? All I do with it is VE Pro, and given that I make the corrections above, do I stand to benefit from it?
