Release Notes

VP 0.2.11 Beta

New Features

FEATURE ADDED: Remote Connection Capability

This release contains the remote connection capability and requires an IP network (usually over ethernet) to function in this mode.

One instance of VP acts as the "Host"; another acts as the "Client". The Host runs on the machine that has the appropriate midi connections to the Kurz. The client does not use or need a midi connection; it only uses a network connection to the host.

Run the host like this:

java.exe -jar vastp.jar -port 4444 !!! assume this is running on a machine named velvetroom

This tells the host to listen for new connections on port 4444

Run the client like this:

java.exe -jar vastp.jar -hostname velvetroom -port 4444

java.exe -jar vastp.jar -hostname 1.1.1.1 -port 4444

This tells the client to attempt to connect to a host running on a machine named velvetroom (IP Addr 1.1.1.1) listening on port 4444

The hostname can be a machine name or its primary IP address can also be used (i.e. 12.54.77.2 or 1.1.1.1)

Reachability:

To see if a machine is reachable from another machine, use ping <other machine's name or IP address>:
ping 192.168.1.103
ping 1.1.1.1

Use ipconfig/all to see your ip address (on local machine):
