  4. question to VSL: how many instances of VI at the same time?

  • question to VSL: how many instances of VI at the same time?

    Hello,

    It is still unclear to me how many instances of VI I can have open at the same time when I use it as a plug-in.
    I will use a G5 quad (3 Gb Ram) for Logic and another G5 (also 3 Gb Ram) with probably V-stack especially for the SC. I heard that V-stack can only go to a maximum of 16 instances.
    Is that right?
    It seems this are not enough instances to run an orchestral set-up?

    When I would use it as true stand-alone only 1 instance would be possible. Am I right?

    Greetings,

    Hi Gerard,

    we will publish more informations regarding different systems soon.
    And yes, you´re right with the standalone VI.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Would it be possible to run the VI next to itself? (Just like one can open many windows of Internet Explorer or word or the This Computer icon)

    Hi Wes,

    right now it´s not possible, as you can only choose one Asio driver, but you can use a VST host or chainer application to adress many Vienna Instruments,

    I also see V-Stacks 16 instances a possible problem - any thoughts on this?

    V-stack will run on a Mac?

    We have plugged in, e.g., the VST chainer INTO VStack, so you can increase the number of VIs like this.

    VStack is available for Mac as well, more info at www.steinberg.de

    Thanks Paul. Really looking forward to your system recommendations for the most solid (no crashes) set up for HOST and slaves using the new VI.

    Mac users might want to think about Rax from Granted Software as an AU host.

    I'm a lttle confused however as to why you simply cannot run multiple instances of the VI shell on a Mac. There should be no issues with multiple sources under Core Audio. I do it all the time.
