Hello All,
I was very excited about VEP6 but it is not working for me yet. I have a Mac Pro with Sibelius 8.4.1 and two Mac Mini Slaves. I too noticed that the AU instance of VEPro was missing in the Sibelius devices but it seems using the VST instance is fine. However, ALL the active devices in Sibelius which magically link to the instances on my slaves under VEPro5 were missing. So, I activated a new Vienna Ensemble Pro VST device in Sibelius and started to fill some of the instruments in again to match the instruments in the instances on my slaves, but when I tried playing back an existing project, it did not trigger the correct instruments...The Piccolo played the Flute 1 part for example...These are the two top staves in my score and the first two instruments in the corresponding instance.
At this point I checked the forum! I read the reports in this thread and decided to revert immediately back to the last version of VEPro5....Having successfully done this, everything is working as it was before - Thank goodnes!. It took me so many hours to get my system working perfectly that I am not prepared to spend hours trying to get this figured again just for VEPro6. In this case I will wait for some of the bugs to be ironed out...I'm not complaining as such as I love everything VSL and what I saw of VEPro6 looks great... It's only natural that a completely recoded version will have some teething pains...and it might work fine with Logic for example on one computer, but with my Sibelius and two slave set-up it is not functioning properly, or at least as it did before, which was perfect...I at least expect it to load my playback configuration. With VEpro5, I turn my slaves on and load the Instances, I boot up Sibelius and it automatically connects to my slaves...Totally wonderful. Looking forward to more feedback from similar users and for the future fixes.
Best, Andy
