Remote VST Server

Remote VSTs are VSTs that can be accessed over TCP/IP. This allows you to host a VST in another machine with dedicated CPU power.

Note: Remote VSTs should only be used in a LAN. If you want to combine the power of the remote VSTs over the Internet, you should combine then with the Network VST which also allows MP3 compression.

Note: At this moment, only VST 2.x is supported in remote VSTs.

Use the VST server dialog to:

• Select VSTs for the server. Each VST has a unique ID.
• Configure a TCP/IP Port
• Select the security method for the server (for more, see Security)
• Load/Save presets for servers.

After you have started the server (VST32.EXE or VST64.EXE) you use the "Load Remote VST dialog" from the machine you want to access these VSTs:

Select the IP,Port and the ID of the VST you want to load and the VST will be loaded.

You may also want to combine the Remote VST feature with the Network VST. This is a possible setup:

• In separate LANs, create Remote VSTs
• The PC that must comunicate with another network (over the internet) should start a Network VST which would collect all results from other (Remote) VSTs and transmit them over the Internet.
• The receiver PC in the other LAN receives compressed data via its own Network VST, and redistributes it over Remote VSTs inside its lan.
