    Herb,

    It's my understanding that in Logic 8 EXS can handle more than 3GB RAM. Also I'm led to believe that third-party virtual instruments may be able to do the same thing. Apple has said thay they've seeded manufacturers with advance copies of L8 in order to aid with this effort. This would seem to have neatly dovetailed with the development of VE.

    Has VSL done this and is VE able to handle more than 3GB within Logic? Or will we necessarily have to additionally use the standalone version of VE (in this case on the same machine) along with the plugin to use more than 3GB on the same machine?

    There are quite a few of us who are moving to Mac Pro shortly and this would be handy to know so we can decide if and how we need to break up our VSL libraries on two or more machines.

    Keep up the good work,

    Jack

    The Instrument Switching feature is GREAT! :)

    Look forward to giving the beta a swing!...

    As a AU user, does it mean that with one click we open this whole window ? How does it change from the actual guy version, it seems that it's perfect for a standalone use, but a few questions remains concerning the ease of use with Logic 8. Of course the multi instruments is a great news. IMHO, blue, blue, blue, is too omnipresent, Mail iChat, Finder, the Apple Logo, QuickTIme, iTune, Folders,you website and now your design (I know, same color as the actual guy but much bigger)…we live in a blue's world (!)

     OK - it is official --This is a VERY nice update (upgrade)[<:o)].  Switching and Power panning looks very promising.  Looking forward to this.

    It has been suggested that Logic is currently able to exceed 32 bit memory limits by treating each exs instance as a seperate app in terms of memory allocation. Therefore each EXS plug-in could load up to the 32 bit memory limits. I suspect when Herb mentions Vienna Ensemble being 32 bit (in the Mac domain) for the near future will mean the 3GB limits will contiue even after Logics Leopard version surfaces. I hope VSL can get round the additioal programming to create a 64 bit version as soon as....! Julian

    And what about an FX-Teleport-like technology integration into this wonderful tool?!

    Or it's already there?! [:P]

    Many thanks.

    Sod that, I just want news. How can VSL announce something and then go quiet. It's disgraceful. Shouldn't be allowed.[8o|]

    The instrument switching is such a huge time saver and workflow enhancer. Just great. This is a major upgrade to the way we will work with VSL. Can't wait. TH

    Hi I was wondering, if you have your DAW on one machine and then put VE on another and connect by ethernet, do you still need midioverLan to connect to the VE? Also do I still need a audio card out of the VE machine and then and audio in on the DAW? Or will it be able to send the audio back and forth like the Muse receptor? Thanks, Simon

    Good questions.

    I guess that you will still need MOL and an audio card on the slave, unless you use FXT. If it did audio and MIDI over LAN, cross-platform I would have thought that VSL would have been trumpeting that fact by now. However, I have been known to be wrong.

    BTW Does Receptor actually send audio? It never used to.

    Yeah, it uses a protocol called uniwire. I was hoping VE had maybe written something like that. Any vienna people like to shed some light on the subject?

    Isn't uniwire MIDI and GUI info only?

    So if you're using this stand alone, you'll still need a MIDI yoke right?  Are there any 64-bit MIDI yokes out there right now?  Does MIDI over LAN work in 64-bit?

    Well, the old VSL Performance Tool already used virtual MIDI ports, so I'd imagine it will be simple for VSL to pipe MIDI into the VE from other Windows apps (OS X has virtual MIDI built-in). But even with a 3rd party virtual MIDI app, it wouldn't have to be 32-bit. It's only the memory-intensive VE itself that needs to be 64-bit - even your sequencer could be 32-bit, since 32 and 64-bit process coexist happily on XP x64. At least that's how I understand it working...

    Actually nothing has to be 64bit (apart from drivers), providing that you can run multiple copies. Of course this doesn't work with all audio cards.
