Does it have drivers for WinXP x64?

[rtucker55]

This is my deciding factor when purchasing anything else new. If the drivers are not there, then the product is not here. period.

This is a product that works either stand alone or with a computer. Receptor does not require any kind of Mac or Windows drivers. Receptor works with WinXP x64.

What do you mean by WinXP x64 drivers? This is not a USB audio and MIDI interface. Please explain what is your concern exactly.

Dan,

I must admit, I was testing the waters, so to speak and I am sorry for taking up your time by this but from your quick response, I am very impressed.

First, thank you for such a quick reply. This is very important to me to be able to have direct contact with someone that is directly connected with a product and willing to follow up and support it.

Second, I must also admit that I am not that familiar with the product hence my first questions. I just have not had time to fully research or understand the way the receptor works or interfaces with other equipment.

My situation is that I have just transitioned to a 64bit PC environment. I am running Sonar 5 with RME audio and midi interfaces. My main controller's are kurzweil 2661 and m-audio ozonic.

I have several soft synths and samplers that I rely on and I am trying to decide on building additional PC's to support the loads or to invest in a receptor(s)to provide the additional support.

You answered one of my concerns by saying the receptor works with WinXP x64. My other concerns are:
Will it behave with Sonar 5 64bit version
Will it work with my exisiting soundware, Kontakt 2 is a primary concern.
What is the overall cost to get my soundware into receptor. I can provide a list if you have time to review.

I know that I can build another PC that will do what I want it to and I can load my existing soundware for around $3K. I have no idea how the receptor(s) would compare to this. This would be for studio environment only.

I will continue to research your product and if you could provide me any further suggestions or direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
sincerely
Rick Tucker

Finally, I appreciate you praising how quickly I answered. However, I have to tell you that this is a user forum and we do not guarantee a fast response. We try to respond very quickly, but once in a while it may take us a few days. But, the users on this forum are also very helpful so if you don't hear from us, you may hear from them.

I should probably mention, even though it's the title of another thread, that Kontakt is apparently not far away, but currently not available on Receptor.

And Rick - do some reading up on Uniwire - it's a pretty exciting development!

...assuming it actually exists...

kontakt .......sigh.......

[rtucker55]

OK, I did some reading and placed my order today for a receptor with the 160GB HD upgrade. Also ordered 2-1GB sticks of PC2700 DDR. (Guess I will put the 256MB stick on ebay...Probably be cheaper to throw it in my junk box)

YES, I do want UNIWIRE technology! When the Kontakt 2 and UNIWIRE are available it will be like putting the frosting on the cake...

Thanks,
Rick
