Hi Simsy,

I was afraid that I didn´t communicate that clear enough [:$]

The 3 GB is an OS limitation. Each application can handle up to 3 GB. No matter how many Vienna Ensemble plugins you open, it is still handled by one application ( represented by the Vienna Ensemble Service application).

If you are working with Vienna Ensemble standalone, each Vienna Ensemble is a seperate application (which is very cool on a dedicated Mac) and can be adressed on different MIDI Ports with each 16 MIDI channels. 

I´m not a Logic expert (yet), but I don´t think that there is a comfortable way to integrate a standalone Vienna Ensemble with Logic on 1 machine (my colleagues will correct me if I´m wrong [:)]).

Best,

Paul 

Paul,

I haven't tried it yet. But wouldn't you just have to create an IAC (inter-application connection) within audioMIDI setup, go to Clicks & Ports in the environment within Logic and do the cabling - and that would create the MIDI connection you would need.

Then you could assign the outputs of VE to your audio interface & loop it back into the inputs. Or use software loopback if you have the right RME interface.

You could additionally use 16 mono channels within the Soundflower application to return back to Logic. Soundflower also uses the IAC to get MIDI to it.

I'm sure there are many variations on the theme.

Like I say, I haven't tried it yet. So I don't know all the ins & outs of it (pun intended). But I bet somebody out there has.

A defacto VSL tutorial on it would be helpful. I have to believe that it was tried before release.

Yes, Jack? [:D] 

Hi Jack,

we try to keep things as simple as possible, especially with a beta version. 

The problem with tutorials is that there are so many possible combinations - that are updated regularily.

So an "old" tutorial would confuse new users even more. Once you get a grip on your host software, you probably don´t need tutorials anymore...

But of course we´ll do our best to provide you with further infos!

Best,

Paul 

Me be DP and PT user here.  But couldn't you use Rewire to get the audio from SE back into Logic?  Is SE Rewire capable yet?

Peter

peter, i don't get what you are referring to by *SE*, but in case you mean VE (Vienna Ensemble) - it can't be connected using ReWire

christian

OOPS - yes, of course I meant Vienna Ensemble!  Come to think of it, maybe I'll launch a competing product, dedicated to simulating opera - "Sienna Ensemble."

OK, now that THAT'S out of the way - do we know if ReWire capability is on the list for the future?

Can't wait to try VE - today's the day.

i personally am not the biggest fan of ReWire ... maybe just some bad experience with early GS3 builds ....

because i'm not really up to date: is ReWire fully supported in logic 8 / PT 7.x and DP and if which load do you notice? ... i've always been under the impression it is somehow related to hosts by steinberg ...

For up to date information, you need to check [URL=http://www.propellerheads.se/index.cfm]here.[/URL] There will no doubt be an update when the VST3 SDK is released.

Not a ReWire expert.  Wish I could be, but since most of my work has been in DP in DAE mode, don't get to use it as much as I'd like (since DP doesn't support ReWire in DAE mode).  HOWEVER, when I've tried it in MOTU mode, it works fine, at least for the very limited use we're discussing here - getting audio into DP (or any host sequencing program) from another program.  It would be a straightforward way to solve the problem discussed earlier in this thread - getting the audio from a VE standalone into Logic.
