    hi everyone! i'm currently enjoying toying around with VE Pro's demo, and so far if i don't ask too much from my buffer most vsti's work smooth, main problem i have been having is that BFD2 doesn't load/recall it's presets, with renders it practically useless using it. BFD2 is stated as compatible, but i found another post about the same issue somewhere. any thoughts on this? this is more or less the decision maker for me before jumping on the bandwagon of Vienna. tnx!! ... dikkie master Macbookpro Logic 9 / slave(s) Wi7 VE Pro (latest) / BFD2

    Hi

    With a 32-piece kit in a frame or metaframe, here BFD2 fails to load the GUI for the kit pieces on the main page, so no adjustments that you need that page for are possible until I delete the kit and reload the preset. I also have had little luck (w. BFD2's 32-piece size) loading new kit pieces under VE Pro. The workaround is to organize a kit in BFD2 standalone (and specify the preset as the default).  Previous builds of VE Pro have been worse; 'running out of memory' errors even after deleting the kit, meaning quit and try again. These are 1 to 1.5 GB kits btw. The pieces and the mixer all loads, it's just there is no way to change anything from the main page, there is no GUI.

    The smaller sizes tend to be alright.

    (OSX.6.4, the latest VE Pro build.)

    Edit: it was almost a show-stppper in previous builds. I was avoiding BFD2. Now I'm using it, the delete kit/reload preset workaround works and the preset loads reliably and quickly. The smaller kits load the GUI fine.

    It works perfectly for me except where there is a 32-piece kit. In that case the GUI of the kits page will not load. Period. In those projects, I had to delete the kit and reload the preset. In a decoupled-from-the-sequencer instance this meant that I had to save any changes to the BFD2 preset before exiting VE Pro.

    To reiterate, the other kit sizes do recall perfectly here. OSX.6.4, most recent build of VE Pro.
