  4. Why can't VEP5 host its own plugin?

    Here's the scenario: I have a couple slave machines on my network, these are hosting all my sample libraries.

    On my local machine I'm currently using Ableton Live to host the VEP5 plugins pointing to my slaves and receiving audio back from them.

    My main music program is called Synfire Pro, which doesn't do tons of audio tracks very well as it's mostly a composition tool and not a full blown DAW, which is why I'm just using virtual midi out to the tracks hosted in Live.

    Now instead of Ableton, I wanted to just use a local copy of VEP5 hosting the VEP5 plugins, so I could do away with running Ableton as a host, but the VEP5 plugins (Vienna Ensemble Pro x64.dll, Vienna Ensemble Pro Audio Input x64.dll etc..) is not showing up in the VEP5 plugin list when I add a new track.

    I'm running the correct bit version, and all my other plugins show up.

    Is there a restriction that doesn't allow what I'm trying to do?

    It would simplify my setup a lot and make it more efficient.

    Thanks.

    Nobody knows?

    If I'm not making myself clear just ask and I'll try to clarify.

    In a nutshell I'm just trying to use an instance of VEP5 like you'd use something like Forte VST host, just hosting the VEP5 plugin you'd normally load in your DAW inside an instance of VEP5, which would then send and receive to the slaves on my network and I could ditch Albleton for hosting the plugins.

    We currently forbid that because certain parts of the VE Pro plugins rely on working in a single plugin host.

    Ok, I had a feeling it was something like that, would have been nice if it was possible, and another selling point.

    I purchased a copy of Forte VST host instead and it seems to load the VEP5 plugins without problems, it even creates all the audio returns from the slaves, much lighter and flexible setup now.

    Thanks.
