Anyone using multiple MIDI buses using VSL/VE and SONAR Platinum

There were complaints about it not being implemented when we released X3, but I don't see any feedback now that it is available :)
In Platinum you should now be able to access all the MIDI ports exposed by VE. (Vienna Ensemble Pro)

    Good to know that GA works as well.

    Tried the VEPro Demo late last year, but had problems - as you are well aware. I will try their demo again as soon as I get the new Sonar - which should be in a couple of weeks. Sorry I can't try it sooner, but I'm in the midst of a project and don't want to make changes to the environment.

    The irony? Well if I had VEPro working it would save me considerable time. I hate irony sometimes!

    I dont complain because everything works like it should It will be great if you can implement multiple midi outputs on each MIDI track so we can route same MIDI track to various instruments. Thanks for this VST3 support.

    midi sends definitely +1... in the features and requests sub-forum somewhere...
    If we could ad randomization in timing with the sends that would be great too... reduce the machine gun effect and all.

    maybe I'm dense... just installed the demo for VEPro5 and I am unable to get more than 16 MIDI inputs per Kontakt 5 instance. It certainly appears that I can send from Sonar to mulitple MIDI buses in VEPro, but I can't figure out how to get Kontakt to map them within VEPro.

    Anyone have this working?

    Thanks!

    Kontakt can only expose one port when it's loaded into a host.  https://www.gearslutz.com...irtual-midi-ports.html
