Connecting 3 Party VSTs with Ensemble Pro 5

[michaelfirmont]

Hi there! I'm new to Ensemble Pro and struggle with the first problem. I try to run all my third party VSTs like EWQL Symphony Orchestra, Superior Drummer, Omnisphere and so on in EP5. I activate them in the PlugIn Section of EP5 and you can see there, for example, that it has found the play engine. Now I want to use it in the instrumnet section, but its not possible to choose anything out of the EWQL Libraries, I can't find them there. I try to add them with the Directory Manager, but this didn't work as well. I can't find any help in the REadMe Document. Looking forward to a good answer! Cheers Michael

1. You add 3rd party VSTi by adding a plugin in the VEP GUI, not as an instrument.
2. Directory Manager is only for VSL instruments.

Salut! A second question. Now it's no problem to start the Play engine in VE Pro, but it doesn't find the Superior Drummer. It has been the same with Omnisphere, but after installing the additional 32 Plugin, it worked. This can't be the solution and its not possible with SD. Anyone knows the problem? Thanks! Michael

Hi Michael,

You are probably using the 32-bit Server, which can only load 32-bit plug-ins, by design.

Open the 64-bit VE PRO Server, and you can load 64-bit plug-ins.

If you are on a PC, check that the right VST plug-in folders are assigned in the VE PRO Preferences.

=> The VE PRO 5 manual is a good resource for this kind of information as well [;)]

Best,

Paul

Hi Paul! First thanks for your answer. But I'm definitly using the 64bit Part in each situation :) Superior Drummer is only installed as 64 bit and it's not possible to open it in the 64bit Server. I've no idea where the problem is. Have a nice day :) And thanks for your help! Cheers Michael

Hello Michael, 

Please send some screenshots of your VST Plug-in folders (32 and 64 bit, in your Explorer) and the set VST Plug-in folders in the VE PRO 5 Preferences to , so we can check. 

Best, 

Paul
