  • Can you please fix the VE Pro "preserve/decouple" Display bug. When the little window that displays whether or not Vienna is preserved/decoupled is in the background, i.e. NOT brought to the front, it always reads that the preserve/decouple boxes are Uchecked even when they have been checked. This is confusing and leads to me re checking whether or not Vienna is decoupled multiple times in a session. Once you click on the main preserve decouple window, the checks suddenly display correctly, showing checks if they have been checked, displaying correctly. The moment that window is not highlighted, they again show uncheked no matter there true status. 


  • I'm having a problem with MAS VE (latest vr.) After I have loaded my VE Metaframe, my VSL Winds Project drops all the channel faders in the VE mixer to 0 and pans everything hard left. This happens when I enable or disable the audio (radio button) in DP. A few weeks ago it only did a few channels on the far left and now it does it to every channel. It doesn't effect the Kontakt Loaded projects, only my VSL Winds which only has VSL on it.

    Anybody else have something like this happening?

  • Have you tried DP 9? There are some bugs in it, the worst of which is that Waves plug ins inconsistently lose their mute automation, but maybe DP 9 would solve your issue?

    Hey guys - I uploaded part 2 of my HOW TO DP and VEP 5. This time I added DP9 and a VEP slave, and I cover system configs and settings for VEP, MIR and touch on Kontakt while playing back a piece I wrote that tests my new MacPro slave.

    Video is here:





    Part 3 will be up in a few days on total optimztion of system, VEP, Kontakt, VSL player and DP.
    Part 4 will "write a good cue in 10 minutes".
    I plan on covering DP9 very soon, maybe after part 3.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for letting me post here.

  • so, is everyone now settled on "715"? (a.k.a. "ver. 5.4.13715")


  • major bummer tonight....:(

    I was trying out my first project with the new & improved VEP5 ver. 5.4.13741. I'm on a single MacPro, running DP8.07 on OS 10.8.5. I set up a piece with a single instance of VEP5 that contained 5 Kontakt 5 instances. All went really smoothly as I was writing the piece, but once I had a version I liked, I attempted to "bounce" all of my 40+ midi tracks to a 2-track .wav. This was the biggest thing that I was looking for with the new VEP5. It didn't work at all. The resultant .wav contained only bits & pieces of the 40+ midi tracks and after the bounce finished, a number of notes "hung". (first time I've had that in 3-4 years).

    So has anyone else tried bouncing midi tracks to audio,  using the new VEP5?


  • any chance of a reply to the above?


  • I'm still having the issue of faders dropping to 0 on my VSL WInds Project when I enable the VEP5 plugin in DP 8.

    I am hoping that the latest update will fix that but I see the update is an AU update (don't see an MAS update.) Do I download the AU update of VEP5 and it will update the MAS version? I have the correct settings in DP with AU disabled etc. Is this the way to go?

    Thanks!

  • Dear Sir,

    I am using it by DP 8.07 and 9, efficiency improved, however, in bouncing process, all instances reloaded several times in the bouncing process, it used more time, it was OK! but the vital problem is Eastwest Hollywood instance, it consumed more time in loading even I already used PCIe SSD with 32G ram, it turn out the bounced wave was without the sound of Hollywood plugin. My solution was just used AU instead of MAS in Hollywood instance. Can it be solved in the future?


  • Dear Chan Kwok Leung,

    Which VE Pro build and which version of Play have you installed?

    Also, please give us some system specs, i.e. OS (Mac or Windows?)...etc..., so we can try to reproduce your problem!

    Best, Marnix

    bounced wave was without the sound of Hollywood instance because the reload process not completed yet while bouncing completed.

  • a quick MAS success story: i just transitioned from DP 7.24 to 8.07 just so i could use the new MAS version of VEP. before, i was using 88 instances of the event input plugin (feeding 2 PC slaves) to make my very large template work, but my 6-core 3.33gHz 2010 mac pro could barely take it. according to activity monitor, it was idling at 80% CPU and going well over 100% during recording and playback, and i had to disable DP's automatic latency compensation to avoid crashes and stuck notes. but with the latest MAS version (888), DP 8.07, and OS 10.8 (latest), i only need one plugin per slave and my CPU idles at 17%. everything's working great so far. i just wanted to thank VSL for spending the time and resources to develop the MAS version - it's made a HUGE improvement for me!

  • How is VEP5 MAS working with DP 9.02? Everything seem OK?

    Hello. I've been using VEP and Digital Performer for quite a while now, but just encountered a weird problem. Not sure where it started, or if it's a VEP or DP thing, but here goes.....

    When bouncing offline in DP, if I use any output in VEP other than 1 & 2, there is a noticeable lateness in the audio when I import it in to DP. I tested with a midi drum track playing through Kontakt in VEP going out 1 & 2. When I bounce offline and re-import to DP, the timing is right on the grid. If I just change the output assignement in VEP to something else and redo this, the timing is behind the grid consistently. I've gone through every setting and option in DP and VEP trying to get around this but it's still there. Here's a screenshot of what the audio offset looks like:

    DRUM OFFSET IMAGE

    The top track is using output 3 & 4 (I called it Offline Normal) and the bottom track is using 1 & 2 (from Audio)

    Any ideas?

    DP 9.02, VEP 5.4.1.3888, Mac Pro, MAS plugin version


  • Motu has confirmed some bugs in the DP engine, an update is on the way.

  • Great news Martin! Thank you for the update.


  • wpoking fine here.


  • I am getting constant Digital Performer crashes using DP 9.02 and VEPro 5.4.14074 on a Mac Pro. I have been using this combination for a few months without this problem but today DP crashes almost every time I hit Play. The crash report points to VEP MAS as the plugin causing the crash. I have numerous instances of VEP MAS in my sequence connecting to 3 PCs. VEP is not crashing on the Mac or the PCs.

    You write that MOTU has reported a bug—is that specfically related to DP 9 and VEP 5?

     

    I tried opening the DP file in 8 and the crashes continue. This is the same DP file that was working fine yesterday in 9. The crashes occur seemingly randomly. The sequence can play for 60 bars and then crash or play for 1 bar and crash.


  • Hi 

    The web site says that the regular VE also has MAS support now but when installing the latest version it does not install any MAS plugin. When will VE get this?
