Happy New Year, Maya. Keep cranking out this incredible software.
Instances indeed. Here's the deal (evolved since my last post). Yesterday VE Pro was behaving exactly as a previous version, stopping now sixteen instances instead of eight.
That behavior included the ability to create an instance in the Server window, but to be unable to connect to it in Logic. Also, if one pre-existing instance was disconnected, then the new instance would apear in the Connect window. Again, this is exactly as VE Pro behaved before with the eight instance limit.
Well, today, I launched a metaframe that I had created outside of Logic with sixteen instances. Then I launched yesterday's Logic file. Now appearing in the VE Pro server window are twenty-two instances. The new instances created in the Server window yesterday are obviously not yet connected to the Logic file.
So we'll see what happens today as I connect these various new and pre-existing instances to Logic.
But I know that I faced a ceiling of some kind yesterday. We'll see how "connectable" these new instances are. I've still got 8 GB free, so that shouldn't be an issue.
"Now developing" as they say in news. I'll post later with today's discoveries.
