Dewdman42; very similar system configuration here... quick question, and feel free to PM me if not applicable in this thread. I do use VEP7 as well, and have been working on a template that I can live with and seems to work fine.
I am interested in knowing what are the drawbacks - pros/cons of using a track, creating 16 aux tracks off that, each with it's own midi channel, then feeding that with 1 instance from VEP7?
Make sense? I do not see a slow down, I have volume controls on each instrument I bring into Logic.
I make one VEP7 Instance Woodwinds, another Brass, another Strings etc... or whatever I'm working on.
I have several Master instances per library for quick access and I have built VEP7 instances with my Favorite Woods, or Brass as I see fit. I have one Perc, one Tuned Perc, Several Strings and some specialty...
In Logic I track stack each "Track/Instance" and I also HIDE any of the 16 that I am not using.
Do I run out if I need more than 16 Strings parts? Yes, Duplicate the track, my aux channels show up and I add them fast.
I created a template with at least 7 instances/tracks each with 16 midi channels and can expand or hide non used instrument auxs.
I dunno, I never read about doing it this way; I just did it.
Any comments for learning would be great...and any comments about OpenCore and Our Macs welcome - there are glitches with that, booting, making Thunderbolt work etc... quitting Logic and it thinks it crashed...
Different topic. Thanks. nubi to VEP7 and all this since April.
