STEP 1
First, start PercussionStudio and activate "Server Role" from the menu. This allows PercussionStudioVSTi to connect to it as a client. The communication will be done over TCP/IP port 1012 and 1013. If you have a firewall, be sure the rights are granted for a local connection on these ports.

STEP 2
Enable "LOCAL" in PercussionStudioVSTi, and it will connect to the running instance of PercussionStudio. The Status should change to "Online". If a rhythm was loaded the name of it will be displayed in the field "Rhythm".
PercussionStudio can also be running on a remote PC. In this case enter the network address after the "REMOTE" button and activate "REMOTE" instead of "LOCAL".

In the Online mode, the rhythm loaded in PercussionStudio will be synchronized to the transport of the VST host application. The audio output will be available as an extra input at the mixer window of the host application. All changes to the rhythm will take effect immediately.
