the thing is, I do want more than VEpro can offer me, but not at the price of being unstable or not running as efficiently. wouldn't updates of the VSTs force you to revisit the whole thing time and time again? Is that a waste of time to even expect a self-built system to work as well as a dedicated host? Even, if it was possible to get it to work as well. So, all of this has to be very stable and be as effective in voice streaming as VEpro. I need the ability to activate and deactivate Kontakt instances remotely (via Midi or OSC). I am referring to load a huge bunch of Kontakt instruments and those samples will easily use up 80% of 128gb of Ram on that PC. Is it worth trying this once more? I am not talking about merely loading some synths or samplers. Now, with the arrival of Max 8, I read there are a quite some enhancements regarding the efficiency of the code. It would, however, still offer a lot of advantages to be able to do this. That is whyI abandoned the idea of hosting the VSTs inside a self built host and kept using VEpro. Secondly, it was not as reliable and caused crashes from time to time. Firstly, playback stressed the computer resources way more than a dedicated VST-host, although I tried to play with the settings. It turned out, however, that the outcome cannot match something like Vienna Ensemble pro. While ReWire applications have a detection bug within ProTools, there is a workaround and ReWire continues to be supported in Pro Tools 11.I have been trying to build a VST-host Standalone app with Max 7. Since MIDI solutions work outside of Pro Tools, compatibility depends on the MIDI host. VST to RTAS Adapter 2.1 will work only with Pro Tools versions 7 through 10. Even the RTAS format is falling victim to progress and it will not be supported in Pro Tools 11, the current release at time of publication. The move to 64-bit processing engines is rendering many 32-bit plug-ins obsolete across every platform. The Future of Plug-In SupportĪs with many contemporary DAWs, Avid is constantly refining and updating the performance and features of its Pro Tools software. This is a problem with the plug-in itself, so contact the vendor of the plug-in to see about solutions. Some VST plug-ins using VST version 2.4 may not work with the FXpansion adapter and Pro Tools. Requiring very little in the way of CPU resources, plug-ins used with this adapter appear as RTAS plug-ins when you're working in Pro Tools. VST to RTAS Adapter 2.1, from FXpansion, allows seamless VST integration into Pro Tools. The previous solutions are, at best, work-arounds with the Pro Tools program itself. Indirectly, VST plug-ins in the other application are now working with Pro Tools. The ReWire application now runs in sync with Pro Tools. An application that supports ReWire can be loaded into an audio track in Pro Tools using an insert slot through the multi-channel plug-in selection from the insert menu. ReWire itself doesn't host VST plug-ins, but it allows programs that support both VST and ReWire to share audio with versions of Pro Tools that support ReWire.

ReWire is a system for transferring audio between applications, developed by Propellerhead Software. This additional processing may cause latency delay on the resulting audio track, but it can be corrected by dragging the audio into place or entering a time offset. While not a truly "installed in Pro Tools" method, a VSTi virtual instrument that has a standalone version or that is running in a host utility, such as Cantabile Lite, MiniHost or SaviHost, may be able to accept a MIDI track created in Pro Tools, with the audio output of the instrument then returned to Pro Tools as an audio track.
