    Hello all, This problem is new for me. I have been making a new template with about 26 instances of VI. This is very much like my old template other than I started from scratch and recent software updates. What is happening is Activity Monitor is reporting VLS-Server higher and higher each track I go to unless I hit play and stop in Logic. It pegs the CPU meter and causes Logic to become erratic. As I typed this Logic was open with the problem and it is spiking all instruments I just played (by pegging the meters).

    Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any solutions? This is making working with it tedious.

    Thanks for any help. System: Mac Pro OSX 10.5.6, 5 gigs ram, Logic 8.0.2. Thanks Chris

    EDIT:  I tried deleting the preferences, deleting and reinstalling VSL Instruments and VE yet the results were the same.  Each time I select a new instance in Logic and play a note the CPU usage on VSL Server increases and never decreases.

    Hi,

    I use Logic 8 and here's my problem:

    I have made a template with 26 VSL instruments separately. I always load plugins separately to spread the CPU-flow on my 8 cores, since Logic only allows 1 plugin per core.

    But still I have a huge peak on the first core and in the activity monitor I can see the VSL-Server working at 350% - on 1 core! ...and I'm doing nothing.

    When I load the document it's at zero. Then when I play 1 instrument it goes up to 40% and stays there. When I play another instrument I goes up to 80 % and so on. When it goes up to over 100% it the instruments become unhearable.

     Oops, I just saw your post. I just announced this problem aswell. I have no idea why this happens.

    I was just reading your message. It seems to be after 10.5.6 was installed. Logic and VI have become unusable together. I'm about to try a combo update install of 10.5.6 instead and will see what it does.

    EDIT:  I tried my MacBook Pro this morning with the same results.  I am guessing the Vienna support team isn't around as there has been no response to this or the email sent to support.  Hopefully we can find a solution after the new year.  Seeing as this is the only plug-in that has this problem there must be some new incompatibility that happened when 10.5.6 was introduced between VSL Server and Logic.

    just to provide some response ... this didn't happen with the pre-release of 10.5.6 and the configuration needs to be re-created now with the publically available update (and as mentioned there are 2 of them) ... however related to how holidays are this year it might take a while to track a possible cause

    Thanks Christian for your reply. As a side note I tried an install of 10.5.5, migrated the apps and users from my main boot to it but got the same results. I suspect the transfer must have brought something over with it. I plan on trying a simple fresh install this weekend and see if I can just get Logic and VI to play nice together on 10.5.5. Thanks and happy new year! Chris
