    I may have a break in the action this afternoon - but not for more than a day and DON'T want to be 'down' for days sorting thru (or uninstalling and re-installing previous builds) - How have you 'power users' made out with this latest build (4881).  Thanks for any advice.  I have VePro and Play - working together now on a farm unit and of course -don't want to introduce NEW wrinkles there.

    Many thanks for your frank advice.

    (not my day for software - I am not sure why the first paragraph above is there?????   Please read starting at second paragraph - sorry.)

    it seems you pasted the text from a word document and some hidden tags ha´d become visible ... edited the HTML ...

     

    basically the 4881 is safe for use.

    by sheer chance i found a bug in the windows installer yesterday evening related to directory manager, but this should only affect users installing VE PRO the first time under a different user account as they had earlier installed another vienna application.

    I installed the update and LOST my midi capability - nothing I could do would solve it.  Finally uninstalled it on Main PC (W7) and three farm units (x64) - reinstalled - 4686.  Now midi working again.   I get midi from my RME Multiface.

    (FYI - with latest build - I could 'play' the farm unit patches with mouse and hear sound.   I could 'see' midi activity from Main puter - just no connection from main daw to farm units - until rolled back to 4686.)   :(

    That happened to me, no midi received over the network, with the previous build, 47-something. I had some corruption in the application, preferences, something and wasn't sure if it wasn't that, but I rolled back after uninstalling and didn't try again. I'm OSX.6.2, Cubase 5.1.1, MacPro to MacPro.

    Yea - rolled back to 4686 and back in biz.  I know the realities of build/fixes - one or two things solved - always the possibility of new issues.  That's reality.   Kind of a pain - but all of us are use to it - not exclusive to VSL.  If fact IMHO they are one of a few companies that have fewer issues on release of software - ofcourse there is always the 'play' issue - but let's not bring that up - we are having such a good day now. :)

    Some things were changed in the network communication between 4686 & 4881. It sounds to me like you're using different versions on the master and slave systems, which could explain MIDI events not passing through properly.
  • R

    I don't think so.

    Two things.

    1.  All master and slaves had EXACT version/build of vepro installed (with 4881 on ALL machines - midi did not work.)

    2.  midi did not work WHEN only running VEPRO on  Master.

    Unistall update - rolled back to 4686 (again - ALL machines) - all midi communication work as designed.

    I had the update installed on master and slave as well. I have only ever seen that in that build. Rolled back to official version, midi is fine.

    Ok - I was starting to think it was just me. :(

    Same Issue here. Also some interesting overload impact on the CPU's after a couple hours of operation. Old version works fine.

    Hey info when you say 'old' are you referring to 4686?  That's the one that works here.  Thanks.

    Yes, back to Build 4686. Works great again!

    OK - same here - 4686 works as design.

    In my 1 day experience 4881 is the best version yet... very good latencies also
  • R
    R

    Ah rats - I was AFRAID you would say that.   So wish the 'midi ghost bug' (at least on mine and a couple of posters here) gets solved so I can try it.  The latencies improvement is of course KEY.

    jvdieks - were you running Play before and can you still?   I am maybe one of the few who is successfull running Play on a farm unit in vepro - just want to be sure on 4881 hasn't changed that (I know the official position of VSL is that Play is NOT supported but....:)
  • J

    no... i primarily use kontakt with it and a couple of other vstis... but i send my midi to the plugin version on the master.. I hardly ever use the normal midi inputs.. I noticed a big improvement when setting latency to 0... that's the main thing i like about this update.

    Hi Rob,

    please allow me to chime in:

    You have PLAY running in VEPRO?

    How did you do that?

    Did I miss anything in a thread?

    That´s sensational!

    Thanx for response.

    Cheers

    One Caveat - still crashes from 'time to time' - but for now (until Play Pro) - I can live with it.  Do a search on this board - there is a suggestion (forgotten how but I think it was login as 'administrator' (on PC).  Good luck (you mileage may vary.)

    Hmmmmmm. I haven't been able to get a usable GUI for PLAY for quite a few versions now. I'm convinced the problem is because of the way VE Pro embeds the GUI. The same problem occurs with PLAY and J-Bridge, which also embeds the GUI. I sense a pattern. [8-|]
