    Hello Guys,

    i´ve got an problem in understanding how it works....

    Well in the instruction of VE3 Pro means it that

    "Every Vienna Ensemble PRO-Instanz supports 32 MIDI-Ports per 16 Midi-channels"

    So my question is know the follow.

    In my sequenzer i can choose vienna esemble 1 for example as midi out and then i choose the channel. But it doesnt matter if i chooe vienna esemble 1 or 5.

    So is it so that if i have the 17th channel that then i have to choose vienna esemble 2 and choose midi chnanel one... ist that right?

    all the best

    Dear Chris,

    please have a look at this thread:

    http://community.vsl.co.at/forums/t/23023.aspx

    The AU protocol that DP and Logic use to access virtual instruments only allows for 1 Port (16 channels) of MIDI. This is beyond our control...

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for the info,

    but i use Cubase and my problem is not that i only see one. If i set them two 32 i see in my cubase all 32 vienna esebmle channels. So i think that is a think with the protocol right?:)

    Hi Planet,

    you can access 8 MIDI Ports with 1 instance of VE PRO, when inserted as VST3 plug-in.

    Each MIDI Port can manage 16 MIDI channels.

    that means that i have to switch the in port to 1 for example and then the output to the one i have choose in cubase. Right?:) What´s the differents between vst3 and vst? will that be display if i choose the plugin? how it is markt?:)

    VST3 is marked /// and it gives you multiple MIDI ports.

    VST2 is not marked anything and it gives you one MIDI port.

    Hey Guys,

    i have just tried and it´s even more better than you all say:)

    If i do that like you said and use the vst3 plugin in cubase 5 and i set it to the hies level per instance. There it is 32 then, i can selected 32 midiouts in my cubase and in vienna esemble pro i can select 32 Midi ins:) so the good news There are no llimitations per instance. I can use theoretical 512 :) *areallyhappyuser* :D
