    James,

    Do you also have generic file icons?  On my PC slave the icons have the VSL logo, but on the Mac they are just plain file icons.

    Here is what the file looks like.

    Hi, 

    I am looking into the troubles with Orchestral Tools right now. 

    The icons will be fixed with the next available update of VE PRO, thanks for pointing that out.

    Paul,

    Thanks for looking into this.  So you think it's OT?

    Hi, 

    Can't say for sure yet, but I hope I'll find out more soon (still downloading the library).

    James, did you ever find a fix?  I still can't load my template and haven't heard anything yet.

    Hi Aaron, 

    Sorry that this is taking so long, I'm downloading OT libraries one by one. 

    I suspect that the scripted programs in Kontakt cause those crashes, but have not confirmed it yet.

    Hi, 

    We have been looking into some crash logs with these big setups... 

    There were many many threads assigned, and the hard limit for threads on a Mac is 2048... 

    To limit the used threads, it will be good to reduce the number of assigned threads per instance (in the VE PRO Preferences), and ideally switch off Multithread support in Kontakt. 

    BTW: Thread management on Windows is more efficient (and threads are not limited), so that might also be worth a thought for those very big setups. 

    Best, 
    Paul

    Hi Paul, I'll try out your suggestions on my MacBook Pro. It's a pretty small template so I can work away from my studio. I do have a slave PC with a very big template and rarely have problems with that one. I have 1200+ tracks on the big template. Thanks and I'll report back. Aaron

    I just discovered that if I open the standalone version of Kontakt first and then open my VEP template it doesn't crash.  I tried it several times with the same result.  Everytime I open my template without first opening up the standalone Kontakt, VEP crashes.

    And once my template is open, if I quite the standalone Kontakt, VEP crashes. Very strange.
