Hi Paul,
The libraries are loading fine, but I'm getting phasing problems in VEP Server 6 -but only from a Syncron Pianos (Yamaha CFX ) instance. My Special Edition instruments are not phasing. It sounds like the Synchron is double-bussed but with a few samples worth of delay, as if it were a duplicated stream, but only with the Synchron plugin in VEP6. If I disconnect Microsoft Remote Desktop, it makes no difference in sound. Everything is CAT6 ethernet.
Main Computer: Mac mini (Late 2012) 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, SSD, BMD Multidock 2 with 3 SSDs via Thunderbolt. OS 10.13.5 (17F77) UAD Apollo 8 Quad Thunderbolt v9.5.2, running Pro Tools 2018.4, Vienna Ensemble Pro Server 6 with a buffer setting of 1; always 24/44.1KHz, monitoring via the UAD virtual busses. Latency in Pro Tools is about 3.36ms with two VEP6 instances. No FX busses in Pro Tools when tracking.
Slave VSL/VEP6 Computer: i7 8700K 6-core 3.7 GHz, 64GB RAM, 3 internal SSDs, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. AMD Radeon RX-580 8GB. Intel Gb ethernet. No WiFi. No Bluetooth. Running two VEP6 instances. 16 MIDI channels on each, and only 2 audio i/o channels on the setup.
And I checked: There's only a MIDI Out connected to my keyboard. No MIDI In. That's what it sounds like, but there's no "MIDI feedback" going on here from the keyboard side of things.
Update: I verified this problem by running VEP6 and the CFX on my former VEP6 slave –a duplicate spec of my main computer– and that too phases only on the Syncron. The mic/mix configuration makes no difference. I haven't yet tested it by moving the Pro Tools setup onto the PC and running a VEP6 service alongside PRo Tools on the same machine: Windows doesn't handle the auto-switching sample rates with the UAD like the macOS.
And because the PC is in the basement and is heavy and unwieldly. ;o)
