VEP MULTI Instance is an advanced Composer toolkit for Vienna Ensemble Pro and NI Kontakt sampler.

F E A T U R E S

• VEP MULTI Instance is compatible with any DAW.

• Up to 16 Kontakt Instruments (1024 MIDI Channels) can be loaded per VEP MUTI Instance without VST3 or AU3.

• The toolkit offers specially designed presets which load up to 128 Kontakt instruments into a single VEP Instance.
All Kontakts are pre-loaded with a Kontakt "VEP MULTI Instance" KSP plugin.

• The MEGA VEP Templates allow you to load up to 128 Kontakt instances (8192 MIDI Channels) per VEP MUTI Instance by using a VST3 or AU3 host (new).

• Cubase VST3 & Logic AU3 Generic and Orchestral Templates (new).

• Lemur & TouchOSC remote workstations (new).

• All Kontakt Ports ABCD can be accessed via a single MIDI track, so you can switch between 64 MIDI Channels.
This feature saves a lot of Kontakt instances usage and CPU resources.

• The Kontakt MIDI Channels can be switched via Velocity Key Switch, Control Change or Program Change messages using any DAW. The toolkit comes with an Interactive PDF where you can type custom articulation names and map your Instruments to the correspondent KS, CC and Program numbers.

• VEP MULTI toolkit offers complete Cubase Expression Maps, Logic Articulation Sets and AG Logic Maps EDITOR templates, where you only have to type articulation names according to the loaded Kontakt patches.

• Control Change single lane MIDI Channel switching. The Modulation, Expression, Vibrato etc., CC automation follows the Note events MIDI Channel switching. This technology is valid for all similar data such as Pitch bend etc.

• Global Channel – TUTI track. The Global Channel can be addressed to any unused DAW MIDI Channel.
      - The Global Channel can be used for cloning a single CC lane to numerous MIDI Channels.
      - The Global Channel can be used for TUTI composing. The TUTI feature duplicates a single Note to all connected Channels and arranges the voices according to the Global Channel “Transposition & Humanization” settings.

• Volume & Pan button. This button can be used for filtering CC7 & CC10 coming from the DAW.

• Advanced Presets system. The VEP MULTI Presets menu offers up to 20 storing slots and an advanced Presets management system.

• Presets Automation. You can use a custom CC# to automate the Presets. For example, you can copy a TUTI region
and automate several Presets which have been stored with different “Transposition & Humanization” settings.

What’s new in VEPM v2

Q. Are the Synchron ART Tools mainly (or only) ART ID oriented? I own an ART Pro 6.3 toolkit and I only use region’s
base text points Articulation switching (with AG Maps Editor & Scripter).
A. Synchron ART Tools come with presets for both standards:
    • Articulation Sets for ART ID switching (Logic 10.4.2 or higher).
    • ART Pro 6.3 Editor presets for Art Text Points or Art ID switching via the AG Scripter.

Q. After the Installation, two types of AG Maps Editor Presets appeared in my AG Library folder (SY Strings ECO and
and SY Strings EXT). What is the difference between ECO and EXT? I own ART Pro 6.3 and I’m confused which one to use.
A. • The Economical (ECO) presets are designed for storing as “Logic Art Sets” mainly, but they can be used with
AG Scripter as well. We created optimized SY Player AG presets with special Dimension architecture which is 100%
functional with the Logic Art Sets capabilities (up to 3 Art outs).
Example: The ECO preset allows you to switch directly from Pizz to Legato Soft: Lyr Vib, Reg Vib or No Vib via a single
touch of an external Art remote button or a 2nd Keyboard KS. This is a 100% one touch Art Maps switching concept.
    • The Extended (EXT) presets are designed according to the original Synchron XF Dimension slots which require more
than 3 Art output assignments.
Example: You can combine one touch switching with a XF Dimension switching (by using an external CC fader or CC pedal).
This hybrid method allows you to play two hands “SY Strings All”, for example, and switch to a given XF slot via an Art
remote Program or a KS, and tweak the CC pedal to switch between the XF Dimension slots Lyr Vib, Reg Vib or No Vib.

Q. I use a 2nd Keyboard to remote the Articulations and I want to import the Articulation names with KS prefixes into my
current Logic project Track Pad. How can I do that in case I do not own AG Logic Maps Editor?
A. Unfortunately, Logic Instrument Patches cannot be stored in the Track Pad info pane. There are two alternatives:
    • Use the provided Logic Orchestral templates which come with SY Strings pre-loaded tracks with Track Pad Art Names.
    • Keep your current Logic project opened and open the SY Orchestral KS template. Select a SY Instrument track and
copy the Art Names from the Track Pad. Paste the Clipboard into your current Logic project SY Track Pad info pane.

Q. I tried the TouchOSC SY Presets installed in the SY Library and I may say that these layouts are the best I’ve ever used.
What is the difference between the AG TouchOSC and Lemur?
A. There are some minor differences, such as:
    • If you use TouchOSC with an AG Logic Orchestral template, you must press a “Recall” button if you want to switch
the iPad presets according to the Logic track selection. The AG Lemur does that automatically when you select a track.
    • AG Lemur is far more powerful if you own the AG Maps Editor. ART Pro 6.3 comes with an extended Lemur workstation
which offers up to 130 Articulation buttons where you can teleport the SY EXT presets, for example.

"VEP MULTI Instance has been an important part of my
orchestral templates since 2017. This ultimate system allows
you to have tons of sounds available, no matter from which
library they are. AG lets me standardize the handling of all
the different articulation switching systems. A very valuable
tool that gives me much more time for the creative work!"
