Sadly you will write him an email. I have also problems with understand and configure vst connect pro in Cubase 9 / vst connect performer.
And bigger for me is, that i am from germany and have to understand all your english explanations.
And the manual in german is not up to date. All the explanations on the website are also not up to date. Just for example: I read on the steinberg-site, that vst connect pro is not included in Cubase 9 pro. But i can choose it from the top line of cubase ???
So, it would be great, if we could read here the end of the story. Just as an example how it could work and where the problems in this case were.

Dirk
