    Hey VSL gurus,

    I recently re-watched that intro video, and it distinctly says that 'up to 512 MIDI channels per instance' are available.

    However, as far as I can tell, if you want to use VE Pro in Server mode to send audio over LAN, you're actually limited to just 16 MIDI channels per instance.

    Can someone tell me what setup I would need to be able to achieve this much-coveted 512 channel-per-instance setup?

    Thank you!

    Chris

    PS: I'm on Logic 9, OS 10.5

    Only VST3 and RTAS versions of the connector plugin support multiple MIDI ports (this is a plugin format limitation). VST2 and AU only support a single port.

    Hmm, that's rather disappointing.

    For those of us in Logic, are there any clever workarounds?  For example, can we use something like MidiOverLAN to send additional channels of MIDI to the slave computer, and somehow configure the VE Pro Slave to accept these additional MIDI signals?

    It is possible, but will result in very unreliable latency behavior. I can not recommend it. It's better to load multiple VE Pro instances for this.
