These are mine, let Muse know your own.
1- Full support for syncrosoft/elicenser.
2- Backup facility via USB (R1) or eSata (R2).
Top priorities for OS 1.9

Wait a minute here. You mean you don't have your Receptor 3 yet? It's been out now for at least two or three months.Balda wrote:+1 and next release will be for Receptor 3 onlyu802513 wrote:At the rate Muse is releasing updates we will all be dead by the time the next OS comes out.

IMHO,
It should allow the installation of pluggins without the need for Muse to recode or adapt special "receptorized" version every time an update comes out. The time spent on "catching up" could be spent on developing a proper windows emulation "one size fits all". Add a standard installation protocol that fits every plug a pc can run. After all, this is pretty much a dedicated pc.
I bought a receptor 2 a few months ago, and don't get me wrong, there's nothing out there even remotely close to what this unit can do; but I already have many pluggins falling behind in terms of updates. I've paid significant amount of cash for those as well...
The fact that we have to wait after Muse is the bottle neck of this business model. I'm not sure what was the original idea behind it, but for me this is a lose-lose situation. And since pluggins are multiplying exponentially, it's not about the get any better.
Think about it, if the original Rec 1 was designed that way, it could prolly run most of what's out there today. And if you guys weren't tied up with all the fixes required because of this business model, you could easily work on solutions for the ones that don't work!
Anyway this is just my 2 cents. People aren't gonna buy a Receptor every 2 years. Don't wait for the competition to release a unit that act as a pc.

There is nothing like the Receptor to be sure...Meo wrote:there's nothing out there even remotely close to what this unit can do; but I already have many pluggins falling behind in terms of updates. I've paid significant amount of cash for those as well...

It's so tempting to format my Receptor 1 and put Windows or Linux on it so I could at least get the plugins I really want on something portable. Then again I'd be better off using a high end laptop so I could use any VST, add effects and have the ability to record live at the same time.
When I realized that dumping $3,000 into something would NEVER give me future OS updates WITHOUT having to throw even more money at it, I knew I was in big trouble.
It's kinda like the guy at the local car dealership. Oh sure, the brand new BMW 5 series is only $20k, but "if you want four seats, a steering wheel, air conditioning and a CD player, that'll be another $40k please..."

Just in case you missed this in another thread, I did exactly that... I installed both Windows and Linux on my Receptor 1 (and I used a SATA drive). The only problem I ran into was that Muse has de-soldered the audio connectors from the motherboard, and there are no Windows drivers for the PCI audio card...you have no audio unless you add hardware. I had several options available (USB and PCI), so it was no big deal to me, but I was quite annoyed.projektio wrote:It's so tempting to format my Receptor 1 and put Windows or Linux on it so I could at least get the plugins I really want on something portable.
My conclusion was mixed...you can turn your Receptor into a rack mount PC for better VST compatibility, but you will need audio hardware and a monitor. A laptop has the monitor, but you will still need audio hardware (other than the built-in). The Receptor PC still has the advantage of being a rack mount, and the road-worthiness is worth mentioning.projektio wrote:Then again I'd be better off using a high end laptop so I could use any VST, add effects and have the ability to record live at the same time.
I did figure out the serial communications to the front panel too, so it could be used for something, but it is not worth it to me...I prefer a visual interface. We could at least send "John's Custom Receptor/PC!" to the LCD on startup or something (which is what I did!).

Yeah, I've got an extra 17" monitor in the garage I can dust off and I've got a box of old M-Audio Delta 44 audio cards that might do the trick. I think I will add this to my list of "things to do over the summer".johnrule wrote:My conclusion was mixed...you can turn your Receptor into a rack mount PC for better VST compatibility, but you will need audio hardware and a monitor.

As cool as the front panel interface is, I actually could care less. I mainly use the Receptor in the studio. I had originally thought about using it to process some vocal effects for the rare occasion my band plays live, but lately I've been thinking about picking up some hardware to solve that problem. Nothing like the real deal Lexicon, right?!
