    Well I give-up,


    But as Tim Kiel can attest.....VI is NOT performing reliably at all under OS-X......tommorow I'll get my IT department to set up 3 Windows XP computers to host the VI's


    I attest. [:O] It's definetly an OSX thing. Works fine under WinXP bootcamp on the minis....

    Maya,

    Thanx for confirmation....

    Translated this means that anyone trying to run the entire orchestra from the mac os/x platform is hosed.....since one needs to run slaves and slaves by definition NEED to be triggered by an external sequencer.

    Maya,

    Switched the MacMini / Bidule slave over to XP today.......

    NO clicks
    NO pops

    everything runs smooth now....

    BUT nevertheless my home system consists of nothing but G5's which click/pop non-stop.

    (except for the main DAW running Logic7)

    hope you guys figure it out.

    Hi SvK [;)]

    Just wondering: did you try rax instead of bidoule?

    Svon,
    How do you have midi set up?
    I'm asking this because if the midi request is too slow, I'm wondering if the clicks and pops are a result of slow request, and not a buffer setting, or sync problem. (I noted you'd had success with the rme cards syncing.) I've read elsewhere that plogue isn't always 'friendly'.

    I know this sounds strange, but I've heard stranger.
    Just trying to cover angles.

    Have you considered running midi through ethernet, with a switch?
    (Or fx-teleport, or the VNC already built into Tiger?)

    Good Luck to you and Timkiel, i hope you get it sorted out,

    Alex.

    Same problem here. Sometimes holding a simple patch on a slave computer (in OS X) will create random pops and clicks. And some other time it's fine...

    Has there been any progress at solving this issue?

    For the record, I USED to have a PC slave running Giga and the old VSL library, triggered by my host G5 running Pro Tools.

    I OFTEN had clicks and pops, ESPECIALLY when using brass...say....three horn notes and three trombone notes sounding together. LOTS of clicks and pops on sustained chords. That was on a very fast PC too....don't know if this is relevant...just thought I'd chime in...

    Any updated from the VSL team on this? I'm getting my MacPro tomorrow and would love to be able to move to an all OSX implementation rather than running WinXP on my MacMini slaves.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    there is already a revised version online in our download area (Vienna Instruments Software Installer OS X Intel 1.07 - public beta) where the mentioned problems should not occur anymore.

    Please find it here:

    Hi Maya,

    you say

    'there is already a revised version online in our download area (Vienna Instruments Software Installer OS X Intel 1.07 - public beta) where the mentioned problems should not occur anymore.'

    What about us not on Intel macs yet? I'm trying to set up a slave G4 Powerbook (2gig RAM) using Plogue Bidule on OS 10.4.7. I've got 6 instances of VI running as a slave from G5 & Logic Pro by Midi over LAN. It's just unusable. The pops/clicks/glitches are constant. But i've got the VI Cube and it's too big/hungry to run on 1 G5. How do i configure multiple Macs if this set-up doesn't work?

    Is everyone who is slaving a Mac of any kind having this problem?

    Are the pops/clicks present when the VI GUI is closed ?
  • T

    Also, can it be possible that there is a sync issue here? Are the slave Macs being clocked with word clock or some kind of house sync?

    If i substitute VI GUI with Kontakt or Elektrik Piano in Plogue Bidule i don't get clicks/pops. My tech guru assures me there's no wordclock problem so i can only assume it's something to do with the Vienna Instruments Plug In. Any Ideas?

    Many Thanks,

    Mark

    Mark, did you try to close the Vi Gui ?

    Perhaps it seems a stupid test, but I noticed this problem on several Pc.

    Stephane,

    the VI Gui is closed. And it clicks/pops whether i've got 1 VI loaded or 7 VI's. And i always keep them closed once i've loaded up the patch/matrix.

    Maybe it'd s plogue bidule thing but, as i already mentioned, Kontakt/Elektrik Piano and other plug-ins seem to work fine.

    Thanks for help.

    Mark
