Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones
I feel like this has been an issue for a long time with DP, so I doubt it has anything to do with the latest release. It's pretty easy to see that if you start playback at a downbeat where a virtual instrument (that is tempo dependent) is hosted in DP, it will be out of sync with anything coming from Vienna Ensemble. The easy way around this is to start playback a measure earlier, so that the notes all trigger at the same time (and includes DP's latency compensation). The problem comes up when you just want to play back from a certain point, or if you have a long repeating synth part using a single long MIDI note. It can be pretty frustrating and annoying if you need to let DP start from before a note entrance to keep things in sync.
Does anyone know of a way to change the behavior of DP-hosted VI's? Having them in real time doesn't seem to solve the issue.

Re: Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones
Out of curiosity are you talking about Maschine or some other VI with a sequencer built in? I know that Maschine gets wildly out of time if it's not locked into measures, and that's without me owning VEP.Tripi wrote: It's pretty easy to see that if you start playback at a downbeat where a virtual instrument (that is tempo dependent) is hosted in DP, it will be out of sync with anything coming from Vienna Ensemble.

I'm actually talking about VI's with internal arpeggiators or sequencers, like Arp2600 or Zebra.

Personally I would try 9.13 if you haven't, the release notes say they fixed issues with VEP. If you have then at least I bumped your thread right?Tripi wrote:I'm actually talking about VI's with internal arpeggiators or sequencers, like Arp2600 or Zebra.

I am talking about 9.13. Going to update my signature now (finally).

No such problem here with the arpeggiators in Omnisphere or Kontakt via VEP.

Re: Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones
Hi. Maybe I needed to phrase this better. The problem isn't with VI's hosted in VEP, it's with VI's hosted in DP and VEP not playing in sync together. If I have a Zebra arpeggiator in VEP and the same exact one in DP, and I start playing back the same note on the downbeat, they will be out of sync. If I start playback 1 measure before the note begins, they will be in sync. Does that make more sense?
