Anyone using Ivory with VEPro 64 bit?

I have tried Synthogy tech support and received this:

We do not have VE Pro here now am I that familiar with it, but I'm going to predict that there is an incompatibility with how VE Pro tracks the GUI on the slave machine.

Unfortunately I'm not sure there's much we can do about this on our end. If there's a way for you to run Ivory natively without VE Pro, I would say that's the best suggestion I can give you. Otherwise you could try contacting Vienna to see if they have any suggestions.

Any insight from VSL? It seems they (Synthogy) are passing the ball.

Thanks

Yes, I was excited to see a new build of VEP and tried it out immediately this morning. Same issue though---nothing happens when you click the Program, Session, or Keyset buttons.

All the other buttons/knobs/switches work. There's just no way to load a sound.

well, other than the Cantible host that they package with the latest update, the only 64bit VST hosts I'm aware of are Cubase and Sonar, neither of which I own.

Is there some free demo of a 64 bit vst host out there that I could try?

Is Ivory a 64 bit application?

I can't find any information about this on the Synthogy website.

Does it work with the VE PRO 32 bit version?

It is 64 bit with the most recent update 1.72.

I checked it in the VE Pro 32 bit version and it has the same issue. It seems to be some GUI conflict.

I had forgot I had a license for Brainspawn Forte, so I installed that and loaded Ivory and it works fine. (Forte is 32bit)

One piece of info that may be important to know:

I just realized that Ivory's Program browser opens in a separate window from the main GUI. That is something different from most other plugins I know that keep everything in the same GUI. Could VEP be preventing a second window from opening?

Here's a screenshot of how the browser looks.

You get it by pressing the menu labeled "Program". (It says *Default currently)

So I loaded Ivory on my Mac Pro just to see if the same thing happened cross-platform. However everything works in VEP on OS X (32 bit--no 64 bit OS X Ivory plugin available). The menu, however operates slightly differently. Instead of a seperate pop-up window like on Windows, it opens replacing or on top of (can't tell which but it isn't movable) the normal GUI.

Hope this helps. Hopefully we can get the windows bug figured out.

I should have mentioned that.

I had the same thought and tried it, but it has no effect. Now that I think about it, it does seem odd that it doesn't work when you undock Ivory because Ivory itself is now in a new floating window. But alas, still nothing.

Well, I encouraged the Synthogy guys to check out this thread to see if there was anything they could chime in on. They responded and basically said they had read the thread and since Ivory works with other hosts on my machine, that it would need to be solved on VSL's end.

I'm surprised no other users have chimed in. Isn't anyone else using VEPro 64 and Ivory 64 on Win7 64?

I guess I'll try to squeeze Ivory natively into my DAW in the meantime till this gets sorted out. Too bad though, it takes a lot of memory. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a fix.

Just an update, build 4657 does not fix the Ivory menu problem. Still cannot load any Ivory patches. Don't know if this is on the buglist, but since Synthogy has washed their hands of the issue, I'm still in hopes that something will be resolved. :)

Update:

-Have tried Ivory 1.72 64bit and 32bit in Win7 64, Vista 64.... Same issue.

-VEPro Build 4686 still does not fix the GUI issue.

-Have sent another pleading request to Synthogy to look into it.

-Am asking for any advice from VSL

Thanks
