Receptor Rev C if compatible with komplete 6 or 7????

[jottesen]

Hi

I live in Denmark, and travel to UK, Manchester,Grizzly Media, Alan Bailey and Alan did the upgrade from receptor B to pro jr.

It was in the warrenty periode my hard drive crash and I talk with Muse/Rick
and they send me a new drive with OS 1,8.

Then this disk crash to and then I got a new one with OS 1,8 and now things are fine. After this, I have a friend who knows alot about linux so now I have him to clone this disk as an back up disk.

Best regards

Jesper

Muse made such a fuss about not doing this for customers that I find this hard to believe...

Regardless, I find that I am no longer interested in OS 1.8 because it lacks the 'tweakability' of OS 1.7. Furthermore, I have found a superior combination in Bidule and a core i7 laptop. With this combination I can have my current software running when updates come out...not two years later (or never).

I am also completing work on an interface to allow you to use the user control panel to control Bidule, so Receptor 1 and 2 owners will be able to abandon all of this nonsense and install a real operating system.

Interesting JR. The problem I found with installing an operating system is the audio card. I tried installing XP and Ubuntu. Neither one could I get the audio interface to work. The audio card uses the PCI Envy24 audio chipset, but I was unable to get it work. Did you find a way to get the audio interface working in a different OS?

Hi JR,

can you tell us more informations regarding your work, please? I was thinking about building some kind of receptor clon or using control panel from receptor with normal vst host. I was buying rev.C because of future upgrade but muse is like pain in the ass and smproaudio and their v-rack (two years t.b.a) is probably worst than muse You are planing use windows os? Bidule looks very promising...

Hi JR,

Just keep an eye on the "Show us how do you use Bidule!" thread at the Plogue website. I hope to have a video soon...

No drivers for Windows, and Muse de-soldered the motherboard audio interface jacks, so you can't even use that (actually, I think they have a custom MB [motherboard] built without the jacks). Fortunately, I have a half height firewire pci card that I can use with my M-Audio Profire Lightbridge (and very low latency). I also tried a USB interface that worked fine, so you have options.

The bad news is that the Receptor audio card is useless without the Receptor OS (i.e. Linux). Furthermore, any PCI solution will require some sort of modification to the back panel. I am sure you can get it to work in Linux (Muse did) but why? You will be building a system that has the same compatibility problems...which is worse than the prospects of modifying my Receptor IMO.

Unless you are going for an Ardour DAW or something...you just need to dig around to find the configuration details. The front panel simply uses the Linux built-in serial communications for example (i.e. no special drivers). It may be the same case for the audio card...it's in there.

I imagine that someone from Muse is reading this and snickering because they have internal Windows drivers that they use...just speculation though.

Here is a preview of what I have so far:



For lack of a better name, I called it "aMusing Replacer" since it will be replacing your Receptor with whatever type of control you want. The buttons are editable and will respond to the front panel commands...this means you can replace the aging Receptor OS with a real OS. But more importantly, you can replace the hardware.

It does not have to look like a Receptor...all of the objects can be changed (this is my editor by the way). You can customize it any way you wish. Personally, I would rather use a laptop and Bidule, but this makes our obsolete Receptors more powerful than the best Receptor available.

The RS232 commands from the front panel were a bit more work than I thought, but simple enough. I have everything working, but I need to make it more user-friendly...I should have a demo soon.

Updated the image...I always wanted a brushed metal Receptor!

Thanks for getting the thread back on track!

I have been reading this more and more lately...OS 1.8 on a Receptor 1. Is Muse offering this as an option now?
