VE Pro 4 no show in Logic 9

[pianoman]

HI,

In logic 9 I can only find VE Pro 4 as a server plug.  Problem is I need it to run on my one computer. Any ideas?

Hi,

simply start the VE PRO Server and connect the Server Interface to this instance.

You can always check the manual or our videos [:)], that might speed up the process!

Best,

Paul

Paul,

Just curious -- is there a way that you know of to use a single instance of VE-PRO with Logic 9 and have more than 16 channels available?  In Cubase and Pro Tools, one can use multiple MIDI ports and assign 16 channels each.  I haven't found a way in Logic to do the same other than create multiple instances of VE.

Am I missing something or is that a limitation of Logic?

Hello Chuck,

there have been quite a few discussions about this here on this forum.

AU is limited to 1 port, whereas VST3 and RTAS can give you 8 ports. If you want to use additional MIDI ports, like IAC busses or external MIDI, you can add them, but one problem remains: There is no latency compensation for these additional MIDI ports.

Best,

Paul

Thanks Paul, that clears things up.

One other thing Paul,

I've used IAC busses in stand-alone mode, but am I correct in saying that in Logic, if you use AIC busses to drive MIDI that you have to use a stand-alone version of VE only and loose the audio link within Logic?  The latency you speak of then is related to the audio route back into logic using a 3'rd party app?  I just want to be sure my assumptions are correct.
