Notion 4 template vs master/slave VEPRO5

[iamnemo]

I have two networked Win64 computers each running VSL VEPRO5 Server 64bit. "A" is the master and "B", more powerful (64GB RAM, 12 x SSDs) is the slave with all my libraries. I don't want to run everything on the same machine for different reasons.

In Notion 4 I created a template for a full orchestra. My VSL SE instruments (on "B") are grouped in 9 preserved instances of VEPRO named: Woods 1,2, Brass 1,2,3, Perc 1, Strings 1,2 & Misc 1. Each instance is using only 16 MIDI channels (Notion is not VST3-ready afaik).

The template has nine "utility" hidden staves, one of each VEPRO instance, and real instrument staves have been referred to them via the Shift-I procedure.

If I run Notion on my slave "B" my template loads all VEPRO instances and everything is fine.

Now if run Notion on the master "A" how can I tell it (my template) to load the remote VEPRO instances from "B"?
Does it suffice that, the first time, I redefine the 9 utility tracks and point them to the 9 VEPRO instances running on "B"? Will this definition stick between sessions?

Note: all VEPRO instances are saved as viframe64 files and the whole setup is saved as a metaframe.

Thanks for any help!

Don't know the answer to your question, but wanted to say that you can use the Event plugin in lieu of VST3 to send all channels to one instance to VEP.

Thanks Bill ! I will re-read about it...

UPDATE: tried it. It works. Just created 8 MIDI ports and accessed VEPRO5 port #8 channel #1 from SONAR. Before it only saw port #1. Thanks Bill.

Now I experience stuck notes sometimes and some latency (even at 1 buffer) if I play live from keyboard through SONAR MIDI in through the event input plugin. I don't experience such stuck notes when I use only port #1 using only VEPRO5 (not plugin). I have to look into it...
