I am trying to get a Dorico template for Steinberg's Iconica orchestra library to work (source: https://blog.dorico.com/2020/12/iconica-sections-players-templates/). It uses VEP7 to setup the resource hungry library. I only have 16GB at hand on my MacBook Pro M1, which is not a lot, I know that. Nevertheless I wonder, why some instances show 2 tabs at the bottom ("Mixer", "Instrument - [instrument]") and some don't. I still can open the instrument view by clicking on an instrument in the left column, but I didn't find an option to open the mixer view.
Also, is there somewhere an indication that tells me if VEP7 is currently loading samples? A percentage counter probably or a progress bar? Would like to know, if VEP7 is still busy loading samples or if it's done.
Thank you!
