Hello Greg,
I don´t see what speaks against this. What doesn´t work?
Best,

I also am having the same difficulties in understanding how to make multiple plugins work in ve pro. I found a workaround by opening up a ve pro instance for each plugin - one for kontakt, one for omnisphere, one for vsl instuments, etc...
But, this is incredibly inefficient as I have to open up more ve pro instances than i need. I'm sure this is just a routing issue of some kind, but after spending hours trying to figure it out, I just started using separated instances.

OK, after experimenting more, I want to report back with my experiences. They are not good! :-) Here's my scenario: I have DP 7.24 open, along with VEPRO 64 bit. I've loaded one instance on PLAY into VEPRO, with one instrument loaded (Hollywood Strings part). This is a very simple situation, trying to resolve basic issues. I set up one MIDI track, pointing to VEPRO channel 1. I've got the PLAY channel in VEPRO set to 1, matching the DP MIDI track channel. I've set up the VEPRO AU within DP, outputting to one of my hardware stereo pairs. I can play the string patch from my MIDI keyboard no problem, either with VEPRO or DP in front, doesn't matter. When I'm in DP, no matter which MIDI track I've armed, the VEPRO patch sounds!!!! So, say I arm the Trilian bass track--I get bass AND strings! It's as if VEPRO is receiving MIDI no matter which device or channel I'm record-enabling in DP. It seems that I have a MIDI setting wrong in VEPRO, I'm just not sure where to start. Is there a way to "slave" VEPRO to only respond to the MIDI device/channel I specify from within DP? The other odd thing, and this may be the telling thing: Although I can play VEPRO from DP, recorded MIDI track data WILL NOT trigger the corresponding PLAY sound in VEPRO! This leads me to believe 2 things: A) DP is not correctly sending MIDI to VEPRO, and B) VEPRO is taking over my system's MIDI ports, entirely. The manual really is no help, I would appreciate some step-by-step assistance to get this software working! I don't want to attempt multi-AU, multi-timbral operation in VEPRO until we resolve these basic issues. Appreciated, Greg in Houston TX USA

You need to assign your first instrument to something like bus1-2 in DP and then the next to vep 3-4, vep 5-6 etc. This will separate each instrment. When you hit the plus sign on a vep Play master (the one assigned to Bus 1-2) you then get a next fader that should be assigned to midi channel 2.
It seems that I need to put two instances of Play into each instance of VEP because I can only get 8 discreet stereo outs from each instance. So if I use two instances of Play in each of two instances of VEP I get 32 separate stereo outs. I have tested this and it seems to work well.
There was a little glitch or it took a little time for the midi channels to assign at first but all seems to be working.

You need to manually set the discrete MIDI channels, or in the prefs set it so that new instruments are assigned to incremental MIDI channels.

I do this all the time — works fine.
I tried to load an Omnisphere and Trilian into one VEP Instance, thinking that the Omni would receive MIDI channels 1-8 and the Trilian could receive MIDI channels 9-16, but wasn't able to get it to work. However, is it technically possible to have a second multichannel AU receive specified MIDI channels like this? I couldn't even get Trilian to receive on Ch 9.
