Hi guys,

After using the Receptor on a couple of gigs, I've decided I need a touchscreen. I like the flexibility of having a monitor on the gig, but having to manipulate a mouse (and position one in the rig) is a pain. I've found some decent options, and while I was looking, stumbled upon this product - http://www.spectronicsinoz.com/product. ... duct=19861 - it's a little program which allows you to enter letters and numbers using a keyboard image on your monitor screen.

Is there any way I could install this little program on Receptor? It'd be bloody handy, as I'm already finding myself coming up with a new killer patch, and having to leave it named Patch 7 or something, which means I'll never remember what it is.

By the way, I'll post my feature requests as I think of them, but off the top of my head, it'd be great if you could make changes to the way Receptor works. For example, I'd really like to be able to open a plugin, select the patch I want, and have it immediately return to the mix window - would save time and clicks!

Cheers,

boog.

Just realised it's a Mac prog, but I'm sure there'd be a Windows one out there

Just realised XP has it built in - surely it can be managed somehow in the Receptor?

I like the idea but there's currently a way for us to support this.

You mean currently a way, or currently NO way? Man, you just got my hopes up!!

Not not currently possible. Sorry I wish I could have a better answer.

I just wonder, have you invested in the touchscreen yet?

I would very much like to see a "field report"...

Er, I have, actually, but it's sitting here unused at the moment - haven't had half a day free to muck about with it!

It may work since Receptor should treat it as a mouse.

That's true, although this is a second hand one, and has to use a serial to USB converter - Dan was saying he might be able to get Linux to accept it.

Hmmmm,
why couldnt you use a midi / guitar pedal board controller, or even,
(if your drummer has v-drums or electronic pads,) assign these as triggers
for the receptor. (itz all just midi switching anyway).
Maybe Im off base here, in your live setup or user application,
But , ya know..... Just a thought.

I have all that hooked up and then some, touch screen control would be very cool.
