    Hi there,

    I'd like to use the remote App for controling my sequenzer. I don't own a iPad yet, but this would be a good reason to buy one. Now my question: Can I test the App with my iPhone or my Mac book connected to my iMac? Of course the IPhone's too small but as far as I know the iOS is the same as on the Pad, right?

    And when that's possible, how do I connect my iMac and my iPhone?

    I read the App-Manual and I have enabled remote control and I have the "http://..." Adress that's displayed in VIPro...

    I don't know much about network stuff, so please write the explanation for a 3 year old. ;) 

    I tried to set up a WLAN Network on the iMac and then activated WLAN on the Phone and I connected it to the network but all that I got told was that this network has no internet connection. I don't need a internet connection to use remote control, do I?

    I need some help at this point.

    Hi Michael, 

    Yes, you can test the connection with your iphone as well. 

    I have actually written the manual for 6 years olds ;-)  => Where are you stuck?

    Hi Paul,

    thank's for answering! The problem in my case is that I don't know how to connect my iPhone to my iMac (sounds silly, I know :D )

    In VIPro it's all clear and I have the IP Adress, that's created there for connecting. Do I need to set up a network or do both devices have to be in the same WLAN? I'm not using the latter, cos my music computer is most of the time offline.

    I don't use any cloud stuff or so and my iPhone is normally syncronised with my macbook - that I don't use for production - via cable. (I'm a little old fashioned in this way)

    Hi Michael, 

    Both Mac and your portable device need to be connected to the same network. So if your mac is connected to your network and you do have a WLAN connection, you should be able to connect those two. 

    If not, please send me screenshots of your setup, and a short explanation: support@vsl.co.at

    Best,

    Ok, I finally did it. I hope this helps others who come across the same problems.

    I tried to do a "computer to computer" network via WLAN and Ethernet. In both cases it was not possible to open the App on the other device (two macs). But I could access the App in the browser on the same computer I run VIPro on. 

    For I had no WLAN available (only cable) I had to use an old Router as IP-Client to creat a own network. After that all computers (and iPhone) are in the same WLAN (as usual) and - after tweakin' my firewall settings - I can finally use the App on the iPhone. I had to make sure that my computer allows network access from VEPro (Firewall settings).

    After all I'm happy that it worked. Thanks a lot for your support, Paul. And now I'm ready to buy a iPad... :D
