VEP is Vienna Ensemble Pro. This guy is doing it but on instrument tracks. the point of doing it this way would be so you don't have to use key switches which can be hard to keep track of between multiple instruments with different ranges, and also cleaned out for transfer to notation software, as well as just working faster in the pro tools window rather than swapping between plug in windows.

I usually host the VEP server plugin (which connects to VEP) on an instrument track and then route MIDI. I have made the program change work on the MIDI track, I just can't get the midname file to open in the Program Change window.

You say it can't work that way, is there a reason beyond Pro Tools for this?
