Yes,
I sort of compelled myself to go on stage - turning on Receptor, and trust my setup without dragging the macbook or laptop along. And force myself to use the front panel for tweaking. All though, I must confess that I feel more relaxed when I can access the receptor GUI, look at - and change things with more ease (without my glasses and a torch).
And..I had this dream about a touch screen....
Now, if the Receptor works with any VNC client, iPad should be a perfect companion. Don't know if the Muse VNC mac client runs on iPads?? Anyone??

should in principle work...
Does anyone out already there use an iPad as a receptor companion? Seems like Apple are getting their midi kernel updated..

moreover, I wouldn't mind an iPad sequencer either,

now, it looks as the iPad interface creates a USB midi connection

any experience you have with iPad and Receptor is highly welcomed!
(Or maybe you have already dived into the Andriod tablet world?)

iPad, a new companion for my Receptor?

Eystein,
We've used the VNC software for IPad with our Receptors around the office many times. The only catch is that you have to make sure the Receptor your using can get to a wireless network. I do not think the USB connection would work.

What is needed for Receptor to be on a wireless network? I would also like to use my iPad with Receptor. It would be great for emergencies on gigs to see what's going on. Perhaps a Muse FAQ on the process? Thanks -

BTW there is another thread about this subject I read, but it also left me wondering what I (specifically) needed to do from the Receptor end of things.

equipment that would be needed:
1) wireless router that has atleast one cabled ethernet jack on it.
2) Straight through ethernet cable.
3) Power strip (maybe)
Plug Receptor to the wireless router using the straight through cable. Keep the power strip inside your Receptor travel case so theres always power available. Set Receptor to auto DHCP when connected to the wireless router. You may need a computer to do the initial router setup for the wireless router (for WEP passwords, etc..) but after that it'll be the same on each start-up.

I have set up a private wireless network with only the iPad on it wirelessly and desktop machines on it wired and they communicate flawless for things like AC-7 so the same setup should work just as you say. This would be wonderful, can't believe I didn't think of also hooking the Receptor up to this router directly and using VNC

Thanks Kevin for your prompt reply.
The fact that Receptor accepts ordinary VNC just shows why the product deserves honors.
I guess the wifi-router is better than trying to find a wifi-usb-stick that has linux drivers etc, however please do research here, could also be very cool.
As for Midi from iPad over USB to Receptor, here is what the programmer of the Core Midi arpeggiator wrote to me:
"I'm working on the integration of the Core Midi on the arpeggiator for USB Camera Kit which is compatible with any class compliant midi interface (pay attention that Apple does not make the iPad as a midi device, the USB camera kit only permit to connect an USB midi interface!). In the same time, I implement the midi network protocol which is directly compatible with Mac OS X without any third party software."
So, this is another example that Midi can be transmitted over USB from iPad.
Moreover, we can see evidence that more developers aim for midi over network (tcp/ip)- and midi -> network (wifi) adpaters are going to come.
IPAd over wifi is a good start.
