As long as you don't take it too seriously, you might find it useful and even fun. It taught me the substantial work that went into the Receptor programming, and I grew to appreciate it more. As a general warning, there are no Windows drivers for the audio card...you have to replace it. I actually installed a firewire card in mine, and used my Profire.emcee wrote:suitably impressed with your efforts John - I'm keen to give my R2 a go with Windows 10 and see what I can get out of it..
The RTE runtime looks interesting, and not too daunting.
In the end, I put everything back the way it was. The added external interface was just too cumbersome, the hardware was too old, and the work involved in literally re-creating a Receptor-like OS was too substantial (but I came very close). Like I said, maybe a newer box would work better (newer motherboard, subsystems, etc.).
I wish the Muse people would relax their control a bit and provide installers. I'd like to update that 2004 motherboard in my Receptor (purchased in 2008 actually). Allowing installers for different OSes and configs would allow us to upgrade our own devices.
But, ultimately, a laptop will always be the most practical solution (to me anyway).
