  • VEP crashes with 20+ instances in Logic Pro 9.13

    I've been able to generate a bug I can reproduce 100% of the time with VEP 32-bit server v4.1.7043 and Logic Pro 9.1.3 all under Max OSX 10.6.5 People may already know about this bug (I saw a similar one for Nuendo) but I wasn't able to find specific mention of it in the forums. More than 20 instances of VEP crash Logic as soon as I hit "Connect" on the plugin. The list of available instances is blank, and logic pauses for about 5 seconds and then crashes. As soon as I back down to 20 instances there are no problems - if I hit "Connect", it immediately lists all 20 instances. I currently have the 20 instances spread out amongst two slave computers with each set at 1 thread per instance (the two computers are MBP Core2Duo laptops). Is this a known issue, and is there a planned (or existing) fix?

    Hi Nathan, I posted the previous message with the same problem with nuendo and pc based DAWs. I am waiting too for an help or an answer. I sent a mail to the support and waiting for news. This W.E. I was setuping up a new template with 3 slaves and change a lot our way to work because of this bug. To not reach the 20 instances I had to group some VIs in 1 instance (all trumpets for exemple), but it's not really practical.

    Not  to derail the thread, but what is the downside of grouping multiple VSTi in on instance?

    Could you perhaps send a crash report of this to ? We are unable to reproduce this problem here. Thanks a lot.

    I just prefer the workflow with Logic of having one VSTi/AU per instance, but even if I didn't, I switch projects frequently, which adds to the number of instances without necessarily closing old ones (I have to do that manually). Is it a huge deal? No. But I prefer, when possible, to be able to work freely, and not think about hard limits or constraints I must adhere to to keep my system from crashing. Karel - thanks for your support. I just emailed a Logic crash report to the support email you mentioned below. My support ticket is 74609_k9s3obvkhe4hpabf.
