All,
I'm thinking of purchasing a Receptor, but I want to use Scarbee's VKC with it on stage. Has anyone successfully loaded Scarbee on a Receptor? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

No idea. Why don't you ask the dev for the VSTi its own to see whether it can be installed ?

I have the Scarbee VKGB, which is the same as VKC only with the fx plug in. It works great. I use the 16 bit live samples that are supplied. Depending on what your using receptor for and what plugs you want there are many options to use the memory efficiently. You may want to use DFD which works well after a bit of tweaking in the settings, still occasional click though which may or may not bother you. I have DFD off and I can load up 16 bit Rhodes with 12V lite program. Using a 2GB Receptor, it brings the memory down to about 50%. I can succesfully get the Scarbee D6 and Rhodes library into the memory with DFD off. I'v been using the lite versions for live use. That means the white notes are all exact samples, the black notes are from the white notes next to it. It's only a semitone shift and you can't notice at all.
You may just want a Rhodes on there. You can use the full 12 layer 16bit library on a 2GB Receptor and have about 25% memory left. You can with DFD on use the full 24bit 12 velocity layer Rhodes.
It's very versatile on what you want. Great samples, i have a rhodes suitcase and d6 clavinet, and this library gets the tone big time!
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response, c3boy. One further question: are you using the Halion VKGB or the Kontakt VKGB? I have the Halion VKGB, and it requires the use of a dongle. Thanks again...

I've just purchased Scarbee cross-grade to Kontakt and Receptor Pro, and am still learning how to set up, configure, etc. I'm not having any trouble loading 16 or 24 bit Rhodes (full, not lite), and if I keep the buffer at 128 I'm having a minimum of cpu farts, which is good, but I'm still trouble-shooting some odd things, including some release samples that seem to trigger at the wrong volume (creates a sort of "chunk" when lifting up a key that has been held down for some time). I had used the Halion version quite a bit prior thereto, and my initial reaction is that the Kontakt product may not have captured all of the nuances of the Halion product. But it's still better than any other Rhodes product I've heard.
