Hi noiseboyuk, 

Just checking: Are you really still on Windows 7?

Best, 
Paul

Ha, no I'm not! need to update that sig now... Win 10, VEP 7, Cubase 12.

Hi Paul, congratulations on the new update. Sadly for me, now that I've updated Logic Pro X doesn't load. It gets stuck half way through going it's loading program. I was able to bypass this on my original machine (Mac Pro 2013) by 'rolling back' to an earlier version of VEP7 but I'm currently working on an alternative machine (also a MacPro 2013) and the option to do this is missing from the page on Vienna Assistant. 

So to give you context. I launch VEP7 which loads fine. Then I launch Logic X and it gets stuck midway through loading and won't budge. Are you able to send me a link to download the previous version of VEP7 please?

Many thanks in advance

Chris

I am facing VEP crashes with Kontakt 7 while disabling/enabling instances. Without disabling/enabling, no crashes. (VST2 version of Kontakt 6 working normally).

I have tried Audiobro, 8dio, and Zero-G libraries so far. 

Note: Only VEP crashes. Nuendo does not crash. All of the software has the latest updates.

1. please include an listing for the VST3 folders as well as the VST!!

Now, VePro seems to just scan all VST3 which is a pain. Since I still install my important VST3 in other folders than the default VST3 windows folder, I like to have the ability to exclude the default path from being scanned.

2. the SKIP button is not working. It should radically stop scanning the current plugin but it just keeps on going and going - f.e. on U-HEs Zebrify

Screenshot

I noticed the black Kontakt 7 GUI is showing if you switch back and forth from mixer to the instrument or close/reopen the instrument.

Have just tried the latest Beta 7.2.1494 on Win 10 Pro - https://vi-control.net/community/threads/vep7-whats-new-and-improved-v7-2-1481-2023-01-19-vst3-hosting.81869/page-7#post-5280775 . I think some progress, but still some problems.

The following VST3 plugins all failed the scan:

iZotope
Tonal Balance Control 2
Neutron 3 eq/compressor
Breaktweaker
Ozone 9 eq
RX6 de-esser
RX7 monitor
RX8 voice de-noise

Korg
Polysix

VIR Harmonic
Bohemian Cello

Steinberg
Spectralayers

u-he
ZebraHZ

I'd been having problems with East West Opus (current version) on the previous build. While it scanned, it would crash sometimes on disable/enable or a project load, or if it did re-load it would be silent.

On this beta build it seems to disable/enable fine and the project loads fine if enabled. However if I load the project with Opus in a disabled state, it crashes VE Pro.

Thanks for your continued work on the problem.

Hello again!

I've tried the new VEPro version, and converted all Kontakt instances to VST3. All of the issues I mentioned before are now gone! Thank you, VSL!

That said, the EW Play engine isn't yet available to use as a VST3 plugin. It's listed on the Preferences Menu / Avaliable Plugins, but I can't assign it on the Mixer window.

Thank you for your time!

Hello again,

Yes, I can report that all issues I mentioned before have been solved. Nice job! It's great to finally have the chance to load Steinberg VST instruments again on VEPro. Oh, and the EW Play VST3 engine became available after rescanning all plugins!

There's just a couple more issues that seem to have occured. Didn't notice them because these aren't currently on my template.

• All IK Multimedia instruments I own (Sampletank 4 and Syntronik 2) imediately crash VEPro once they're loaded.
• When searching for the plugins, I noticed that the search function stopped on Youlean Loudness Meter 2 plugin. Skipping it and rescan it manually solverd the problem.

That's about it all. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Thank you again for your time!

All those issues seem to be solved by the 7.2.1495 update. Thank you, VSL.

Hi, 

Thanks for your replies!

Just cleaning up, with another improved version in the pipeline, so please keep it coming!

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul,

Maybe it's me, but where can i find the download for the latest update?

Auto update doesn't work anymore and can't find anything in my account.

latest version i have is 7.0.1120 NOV-23 2021

Thanks in advance!

Only the iLok version is being updated. You get that through the Vienna Assistant

Thanks Bill!

Just downed the assistant! 

Just updated to the latest version, but got some weird thing going on.

With the fresh plugin scan it keeps hanging on an error with the following plugins Izotope Breaktweaker or Relay VST3 ( latest versions )

VST2 loads without errors

The weird thing is that the vst3 works normal with Cubase / FL / Ableton.and StudioOne.

Someone else bumping to this challenge?

Ok, it seems I found a new issue.

When I try to connect a new pre-made instance of VEPro on Cubase 12, it's not listed on the plugin.

Even worse, if I disconnect an instance and try to reconnect it, it happens the same.

Hi, 

Thanks for posting. 

Can you please be so kind and add your OSs and used versions (DAW, VE Pro) with any reports? We can play detective and look for that information in all your other postings, but we are loosing time unnecessarily. 

THANKS!

Paul

Sorry for the lack of info:

• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 64GB RAM DDR4 3200MHz with Windows 11 Pro up to date
• Latest VEPro version
• Cubase 12.0.52 Build 393

Another info that might help and I just noticed. I started a new blank project on Cubase. Since it's possible to see the server reference, I placed manually the info of both the server, and the instance. Once I did that, when opening the second VEPro instrument plugin, it actually showed all available instances. If I disconnect all of them, the instances can't be automatically found again.

Hi Guin, 

Please get in touch with us directly: support@vsl.co.at

We have a few cases like yours, but it seems hard to pin down what's going on. Working on the next VE Pro version already, and it would be great to have a few users to test and help us this way. 

Thanks, 
Paul
