  4. VEPro and Ivory issue?

    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?

    Is this program browser a standard windows file dialog or something special?

    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.

    Does it help to undock the Ivory editor before pressing the button?

    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

    Good night from Brasil. Having exactly the same problem with the same configuration. Maybe interesting to mention that all screencontrols are working except the ones to load a program, session or keyset. Maybe an iLok issue? Um grande abraƧo

    I upgraded my Vienna Ensemble PRO to public beta 4780 and now Ivory 64bit works fine!

    Thanks a lot for solving this issue!

    AbraƧos,

    Oops, but not solved completely ... .

    Ivory 64bits seems to work in a simple context (= one VE PRO instance, combined with few VSL instruments).

    But VE PRO crashes as soon as I add Ivory to my orchestral setup (7 VE PRO instances, 11Gb of VSL instruments).

    Hope will also be solved soon ... ;-)

    AbraƧos,

    I downgraded Ivory to the previous 32bits version and added a 32bit instance in the VE PRO Server 32bits. Works fine the whole day.

    So the solution for me (for the time being) is to use my VSL instruments with the 64bit VE PRO and Ivory 32bits in the 32 bit VE PRO.

    AbraƧos,

    My experience is similar. I can successfully load Ivory in my 32-bit VE Pro server, but in 64-bit, Ivory doesn't come up as an option. Is that normal, or is it an Ivory issue? 

    I thought 64-bit programs were downward compatible with 32-bit.

    Make sure you've installed the latest 1.72 64bit version from the Synthogy website and that the .dll file is showing up in your 64 bit VSTPlugins folder. If you are on a mac, there is not a 64 bit version available yet.
