I’m writing a piece for double choir using EW Hollywood Choirs via VEPro. My VEPro setup is Sop 1 (midi port 1), Alto 1 (midi port 2) etc. using 8 ports total (the word builder versions require an entire port per voice). I have Sops/Altos etc routed to 4 busses each outputting to Out 1&2/3&4 etc. for a total of 4 outputs.
Now, in Dorico, I have the endpoint setup (I believe correctly):
8-ports, 16-channels each and I specified exactly 4 audio outs to show in the mixer. As you can see from the screen grab, only 1 channel is available in the mixer. The strange thing is I hear all voices so Dorico is mixing down (or summing) the 4 channels from VEPro somewhere.
It’s not make-or-break to be able to mix inside of Dorico with VEPro being so powerful, but I’m curious what the issue is.
Dorico can’t “see” inside VE Pro to know what routing is really set up. All it knows is how many outputs there are. You’ll need to examine the routing within VE Pro and then set the appropriate number of outputs to show in Endpoint Setup in Dorico. You can rename outputs in the Mixer by double-clicking them and typing a new name.
Would it be possible to “steal” the code (so to speak) from your Cubase bothers and sisters as Cubase can “see” the output ports that is in the VePro configuration and then allows you to activate the relevant ports. That would be a really cool feature as then we could have a single VePro configuration that works for both Cubase and Dorico.
I was trying to load VEP to test this out with @John_at_Steinberg 's (long-ago) VEP Iconica setup and could coax no sound out of VEP at all. I realized that my VEP setup was still accessing the vestigial HALion Sonic SE 3; so I changed that to newer HALion Sonic, but I still cannot seem to have VEP Iconica produce sound. Can anyone with more experience than I let me know what I am doing wrong? vepIconicaTest240603.dorico (604.9 KB) Iconica vst.zip (183.0 KB)
