Thanks Karel for your reply. I'm using xp64 and cubase4 on a PC, with VEP only on my local computer. No slaves.
Load VEP server 32-bit.
Load Cubase4
Open a new Cubase project
Instantiate a single VEP from the VST instruments rack
'Connect' to localhost [32] (new) - I'm not naming the preserved session which means the VEP instance is connected to the host and not preserved
Save the project
Close the project
Re-open the project = crash! (exception in vienna ensemble pro.exe)
In contrast...
Load VEP server 32-bit.
Load Cubase4
Open a new Cubase project
Instantiate a single VEP from the VST instruments rack
'Connect'
to localhost [32] (new) and either name the instance (automatically preserving it) or don't name but then preserve.
Save the project
Close the project
Re-open the project = No worries.
[edit - however, if you shutdown the VEP 32-bit server, or delete that preserved instance of VEP, after closing the cubase project, and then re-open the project, this will force VEP to load with the project and cause a crash similar to the first example above]
(Also, the problems with cc-instensive patches like the legato LASS patches is not fixed here - I've detailed this in the LASS thread)
Thanks Karel - Brett
