  • VEP7 putting my Mac to sleep

    I just installed VEPro 7 (7.1.1298) on my Mac MINI (2018, OS 11.6.5) and am connecting it to Digital Performer 11.04, on the same computer, using the MAS plugin. Ever since the installation, when I'm using the software, my computer randomly goes to sleep. I can't pinpoint any specific action that causes it--in fact, sometimes, I'm not doing anything at all--it just acts like I've selected the "Sleep" option from the Apple menu. When the computer wakes up, everything is still there, and working, so it hasn't crashed. However, it will keep falling asleep as I continue to try to use it. Makes VEP pretty unusable for me.

    This MAY be an issue with the MAS plugin. I switched to the AU version and so far, everything seems to be working just fine.

    Oops, I spoke too soon. It just took longer, but using the AU plugin, it also went to sleep. I'm using two instances in VEP7. One instance has 10 Synchron player instruments and the other instance has just 1 Kontakt instrument, but it has 12 articulations loaded.

    And just in case you are wondering, hot corners are turned off. When it happens, the computer becomes completely non-responsive until it is fully asleep (silent, no fan noise, etc.). Then, and only then, I can wake it and everything is still open and working. However, it starts happening more and more frequently once it happens the first time.
