Installation of VP is actually very easy. Here are the basic steps.

Make sure you have a fairly recent version of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment). I am recommending Java J2SE v 1.4.2_05 JRE or later for the PC. My understanding is that Java is built-in in OSX so I would assume that the Mac users are already set. (I will amend this information as I learn more.) Once the JRE is installed you can launch Java programs directly from the file browser or command line interface.

Prerequisites

• Java J2SE v 1.4.2_05 JRE or later. (Java newbies on Windows can find Java installation instructions at Installing Java on Windows.)
• MIDI hardware connection (IN & OUT) to your Kurzweil machine
• Mac users: You might want to consider using Plumstone for Macs

Installation

Like many Java programs VP is distributed as a JAR (Java ARchive) file. JAR files can contain all of the information and pieces of code necessary to run a program; this is the case with VP.

• Download and install Java if you you don't already have it from J2SE v 1.4.2_05 JRE
• Download the VP_xxxx_Beta.zip file from the distribution site
• Unzip it into a directory where you want it to live on your system

You should see the VP's JAR file, called vastp.jar, and a few other support files that you don't need to understand right now.

That's it! VP is now installed and ready to go.
