I've also noticed that the midi chase function in logic does not appear to work when using this template.

I don't need that many, but I need more than the basic one for my Hollywood libraries (ie. Violin 1 sustained, legato, portamento, pizz, staccato, staccatissimo, bartok pizz, col legno), and then violin 2 etc. When I set these up on 1 v-frame each (violin 1, violin 2), my CPU went through the roof on the slave pc. I'm now trying to add instruments to 6 v-frames (each with 10-16 play instances in them - ie. strings, woodwind, brass, etc.) to see if that helps to resolve my CPU issues.

Use KeySwitching on one track for each violin

Get rid of Play instrument if you can, VSL have beatifull strings (I was a QLSO client)

I don't think play offers the functionality to load them all into one channel and switch via keyswitches sadly (unless you know of a way!)

Don't think I can afford VSL right now (I'm a poor student 😛 ) and I really like the libraries I've got, even if I can't quite work out the best way to set them up!

Look you have to RFM 😉

I'm also getting this message when opening the logic files (see attached).

I also got this message whenever opening the multiport template. I just ignored. I don't know if it matters.

I just sent a screenshot image and logic template file to technical support team. 

I'm rebuliding the big template. It's not easy....

@Cyril said:

This mean that an instrument is receiving or sending one of the IAC port

To fix this remove it 

What do I remove? I've literally just opened the template up blank, so I haven't added any instruments that would be using that. I don't even know what an IAC port is 😛

You must look for an instrument or a Multi, in it's setting you will find that it is sending to IAC

IAC = Inter Application Communication

Hello Cyril. Thanks a lot for sharing good information. I'm in the same boat with pmjbaumann.

In Audio Midi Setup, I removed the ICA driver. Then I opened one of the Multiport Logic templates

that VSL team offers. I haven't loaded any insturments or multi and not hooked up with anything.

But when opening the template, the message still pops up. 😞

Check all the levels in the environment

Why did you delete the IAC ? put it back

Hello Sunny,

Please set the MIDI Port in your VE Pro 2 instance to 17, not to 1 - I have also replied to your support request by email!

Best, Marnix

How can I put it back? I didn't know what I did something in Logic's environment that I'm not comfortable with.

I didn't understand 100% what you said.

I sent an email to you. Could you check?

ON a layer with no name there was ( see image)

Simply deleting the instrument is fine? I removed it and the message doesn't pop up anymore.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I've recently migrated from Cubase to Logic. I've managed to understand the enviroment setup to make the midi go where it should, but I'm surprised to say that no one have asked the question about the Solo-button on separate tracks.

The solo-button doesn't seem to work:

- Soloing a single track doesn't do anything

- Soloing the entire stack also mutes the instrument track containing VEP.

- A workaround was to connect a "cable" from the "sub"-channel strips (= the stack represented in the environment) into the VEP-channel strip, but that only works for one stack, if several stacks are connected all of them are soloed.

Is there a fix for this? Ultimately it would be to pull out a message directly from the environment instrument (i.e. VEP_1_1) to send only the solo message to the channel strip, but I can't get that to work either.

To discretely solo/mute  tracks that flow through th same channel strip you use the Power buttons.

I honestly don't mean this to be snarky, but you need to spend some time with either the manual of Edgar Rothermich's excellent e-books. Or hire me😊

Oh, Hi Jay =)

When I said "recently migrated", it was actually 3 hours before the post I started using Logic. I'm trying to determine if I'm going to stick with Logic or use DP, and therefore just trying to feel the workflow, but I couldn't quickly find any response (probably because I'm not sure about the Logic-specific terminology), so naturally I'll be spending A LOT of time with manuals =)

Thanks for the eBook-tip. If all else fails, I'll mail you =)

You have a few tutorials on Youtube too

Now I came across a really interesting dilemma in the 2x48 port template. After renaming practically every multi-instrument in the midi environment to correspond the port object they are actually connected to I got the thing working pretty nicely. Now I have a situation where I have the same A4 note on an oboe track and a cymbal track and the oboes note off command cuts off the sustained cymbal too. Oboe track is sending to VE PRO 1-port 1-channel 5 and cymbal track is sending to VE PRO 1-port 33-channel 5. The channel is the same but the port is different. What the heck is going on here?
