    Hi there,

    I'm really new to VEP so a lot of my problems were Can't see the tree in the forest-problems, so I'm hoping this will be one of them, but I can't figure out what is wrong.

    I created myself an orchestral template in Cubase11pro using VEP7 and mainly the NI Komplete VI's. I assigned the Midi Channel and VEP instances and have no problems getting a sound from the different channels, so the output routing seems fine.

    The problem I'm facing is that when in draw midi-automation on specific instances, these information won't get read. I can draw in CC7 or 11 information on miditracks connected to my String-instance in VEP for example, and everything works as intended, but if I do the same for tracks connected to my Brass-instance, these information aren't doing anything and the sound on that track won't get automated at all.

    I setup the different instances in the same manner when creating the template and since it is basically the same library I just can't figure out why it works on some of them and don't on some others.

     

    Cheers,

    Avu

    How strange
    it would be easier to troubleshoot if you can do a screenshot of your connections, incl their outputs in VE Pro.

    Are you connecting to the VST3 version?

    I think I kind of solved it, as it seems to be a Library/Kontakt related Issue and had nothing to do with VEP7. I narrowed the problem down to Woodwinds and Brass and did some testing in a standalone version of Kontakt. To begin with there is no Expression Fader in these two VI, just a dynamic Knob assigned to CC1, which explains why it is no use writing CC11 data. And for the volume it appears that CC7 in these two instances isn't assigned to the  volumefader on the kontakt instrument, while the strings for example are. So if I write a CC7 automation on strings the volume fader in my kontakt and VEP instance moves while the one in the woodwind/brass library logically does not as it is not assigned.

    So basically I think I posted in the wrong forum 😄

    Thanks for your offered help though. It is very much appreciated 😊!
