  • VE PRO cubase crash report

    49 instances of VE Pro, 50% ram usage, Cubase 5 32 bit, fresh project file, 49 instrument tracks with midi all assigned a VE PRO VST3. When I click "connect", and scroll the mouse over the blank list of available servers, Cubase will crash and windows will search for a solution. I have the .CPR and metaframe for anyone who is interested.

  • Ok, so I've determined that this will happen on a brand new project with even just one VEPRO VST. This is all on one machine BTW.

  • also determined that this is an issue of creating too many VE PRO instances. This will crash sibelius and I imagine other DAWS also

  • VE Pro is designed to be used on up to 16 midi channels. I don't think it's intention was to be used as an instrument track in Cubase because instrument tracks aren't multi-timbral. This would also be quite resource intensive.

    Do you get a crash if you go to the VST rack and open up Vienna Ensemble Pro? On a PC using Cubase 5.1, I haven't had a problem with Vienna Ensemble Pro used this way.


  • ya it doesn't matter if I use the VST rack, it will crash any DAW instantly. I didn't realize the VEPRO is limited to I think 8 or 32 instances.

  • Do you have the latest version of Ensemble Pro installed? Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it? Since Ensemble Pro utilizes the VST3 format, you can load a ton of instruments in just one Instantiation of the plug-in. There are up to 8 ports so you can load 128 instruments in just one instantiation if you so desire.


  • yes thats true. I was trying to create an obscure solution to a fairly minor asthetic issue in Cubase. When I use the VST rack method, the midi tracks are seperate from the audio outputs. It quickly becomes confusing if you are using a lot of busses and sends etc. So I was trying to figure out a way to get the midi to appear on the same track as the audio, and the only way to do that is to make a bunch of VEPRO instances each with only one instrument loaded...
