  4. Help me understand VEP7 with DP and the MAS plugin

    Interesting. I just recently purchased VEP7, so the only version I have is the new iLok version. I did use the Vienna Assistant to do the VEP installation.

    The MAS plugins for VEP show in the DP Plug-ins window in DP Preferences. There are two of them (Vienna Ensemble Pro and Vienna Ensemble Pro Audio Input). However when you try to actually add a plugin to a project, only the first one (Vienna Ensemble Pro) shows as an option. Because of all the issues I've had with the MAS version, I have disabled both plugs in DP.

    I also have both Synchron Player and Synchron Harp and neither of those show as an MAS plugin, just AU and VST.

    I'm hearing similar identical reports from fellow DP/MAS/VEP using friends.  I think its safe to say that ilok VEP MAS still doesn't work correctly yet.  Hopefully VSL is reading this and working on a fix! (fingers crossed).

    There is a "Latest" version that is supposed to repair many of the remaining issues.

    Most importantly for me is that the MAS plugins now are installed for Digital Performer.

    I’m having EXACTLY the same problem, massive delays and data dropouts. This is VEPro 7.1.1298 and DP 11.04. I installed VEPro with Vienna Assistant, is there a newer version of the MAS plugin that VA is not installing? If so, can I get it from my download section on the website?

    Hi Paul,

    Really appreciate that you guys are on this.  I gotta say, I can't help but feel like so much of these headaches could be avoided if VSL had a few DP users on the beta testing team.  I'm a beta tester for MOTU/DP itself and there are so many bugs that our beta testing team help MOTU squash before each release.  Makes such a world of difference.  I really wish VSL would consider adding me to the VEP beta testers community.  If not me then other DP/VEP power users please.

    Thanks for the consideration.

    I rolled back VEPro to the previous version and all is well. Caveat- you can't do it with Vienna Assistant, it won't install the MAS plugin. Use the old-school standalone installer.

    Unfortunately, I only have the iLok version and can't access the older downloads.

    Email VSL tech support, they'll send you a link. Hopefully they'll have a new version that fixes this in a few days.

    I had the exactly the same problem, and changing to other earlier builds of iLok did NOT help me, FWIW.   

    I finally decided to switch all my templates to the AU VEP client in DP, which works fine.  It's kind of a pain, but doable if you only use 16 channels at a time per VEP Instance, which I mostly do.  I figure the AU client is much more likely to be solid on Macs, since it's intended to work on multiple types of DAWs, whereas the MAS client is only for DP.

    Glad to see I wasn't the only one to hit this bug, though.

    I manually uninstalled the current version of VEP using the uninstaller in the VEP folder and then downloaded and installed the .1263 version, also for iLok, using the link below, not Vienna Assistant. It all works wonderfully, now!

    I'm having a version of this problem as well - the 7.1.1298 VEP the MAS plugin gives glitches and pops ONLY during live keyboard input.

    Sounds as if multiple MIDI events are getting sent, and are cutting each other off. 

    Playback from MIDI tracks is OK.

    AU version of the VEP plugin is also OK.

    Looking forward to the rev! I can work around by falling back to 7.0.xxx or otherwise avoiding the MAS plug for now.

    Thanks, Dave. I hadn't seen that there was a new version until I saw your post. I have installed the new version and MAS seems to be working just fine now with DP. Thanks for the post!
