    I too am interested in the progress of this issue (PLAY3 + VEP compatibility). I'm having big problems with Choirs and WB multis (stuck notes, severe unrecoverable cubase crashes) and updated to PLAY3 to see if that had been addressed. I should have read the forums first!

    For my part, the loading of instruments in VEP with PLAY3 simply takes forever.  I gave up after waiting 40min for my template to load and rolled back to the latest PLAY2

    I have the same problem. Actually I think it loads them about 3-4 times here... But as described, it takes much shorter to load the 2nd, 3rd etc time because samples are already in memory. But it is an annoyance. This is with newest version of PLAY, newest Vienna Ens. Pro on a PC running Windows 7.

    I'm anxious to hear how the solution to this issue is progressing as well.

    well, I finally tried it, loaded a couple of things from RA, which loaded but once and quick.

    edit: OSX.6.8, VE Pro 4.8008, decoupled from Cubase.

    I would personally avoid coupling an instance containing something reported as dodgy with the seq. host.

     Is this only a problem with coupled metaframes?

    Nope, I never have anything coupled and I still have the problem.

    I get a slow load problem only when coupled.

     Anyone tested if Play 3.0.21 makes any difference? And, yes, I'm a mid-projects coward ;-)

    I am running 3.0.21 - no difference.

    Same here... Play 3 works great standalone but inside VEpro I'm unable to load projects. I don't even start cubase or any host - still huge problems with loading. A

    Hello Jmichael, 

    can you give us a few more informations?

    Who did you talk to at East West, and who did they contact at VSL? Also, which system is this happening on?

    Best, 

    Paul

     

    "His name is Jonathan Kranz. Here is the thread... http://www.soundsonline-forums.com/showthread.php?t=37299 I'm just using the demo so I thought it might be a problem with just the demo version, but other people seem to be having this problem as well. I'm excited to buy VE Pro cause it works great, except for this one issue. And the epic orchestra pack is an amazing deal! Legato flute...oh man."

    Where are we on this problem? Any confirmation from either side?

     Just got HB and loading into VE Pro I have the same problem as everyone else. Everything is loading twice. I've not run into any other problems so far -- just the double-loading.

    I don't have any issue using Play 3.0.15 in VEP 64-bit v4.1.8008 standalone.  I can load as much stuff as I want, and it doesn't load the samples more than once (even on re-opening of file).  It's still kinda slow, but once stuff is loaded it's fine.

    Simon5413, gee I wonder why - maybe it's because we're discussin a PC issue, you are on a Mac...:)

    I thought it was a mac thread. I think most of the replies have been from mac users.

    it works with no problem here still, no redundant loading, and it's pretty quick.

    I don't see any mention of Mac. This happens on both my PC's - not my Mac.

    I'm on Macs including the slaves.

    Just to be clear, the issue here is that when you load a Play 3 setup, that single setup is loading samples twice? 

    I have noticed a similar but different issue on Play 3. The first time I load up, all seems ok (although I am NOT specifically checking to see if things load twice. I have not been paying attention to this). BUT if I then remove a sound from Play 3 and replace with a new one, Play 3 reports memory shortage, and steals ALL the memory of my 24GB Mac. Play 3 is running a memory server of it's own, and this was also playing havoc wit the Kontakt 4 servers. I have removed Kontakt 4 servers for now as a work-around. Play't memory server is cannot be switched off as far as I can see. I am running Play 3 inside a 32 bit VEPro server at this time to also protect my Mac from memory implosion from Play 3.

    I am VERY suspicious of the quality of programming at EW btw.
