Finally got the "real" Receptor yesterday. I have had a beta unit for a long while, which was enough to make my presets with, but is not the same.
Had no problems getting it networked, so I started to drop in my fav plugins to see if they would work. Here is my report so far: ( Museguys: if you want to make this sticky..go ahead)
Most SE stuff works, but you have to try them. Some did not work or gave problems
I am happy to report that all the AlgoMusic stuff worked. M42 nebula looks great in receptor, and I was happy it worked so I can use it for live performance.
All the UGO synths worked which is cool. UGO's stuff is excellent. However String Theory comes up in the list as "Container". Maybe I'll ask UGO about that.
The original Wheel of Fortune worked ( the UGO skinned one) but comes up in the list as "Free Jazz" !
TIP: if you load Free Jazz ( WOF) in one channel..it happily plays by itself. Load up another VST in another channel and jam along with it
All the EVM synths worked.
Neurosynths : some had a problem. Cerebrum did not even appear in the list!( but it said it installed) Arptron ver2, did not work, but screached at me, and had to load another plugin fast. Meteorite worked fine however
NuSoftings Astrobelt Mother ship worked without a hitch! I was afraid it would ask for serial number, but it loaded fine. Also Nusofting Harptime worked: now that a nice plugin as well.
PolyIbet (which is not SE) worked great. Another Must have on your receptor! Theres some great patches for it on Patch Atrena which you can drop into the installer dir.
Concrete FX's Ensembler worked, but has GUI problems in the edit window. Only 3/4 of the GUI showed up. I may experiemnt with some other CFX stuff like the new Kubik, but have to see how receptor deals with putting in authorization codes if it needs one ( Muse Guys??)
Maxx's eJ worked, but has GUI problems. Looks like the interface was stripped of all it bueaty. However you can load presets.
all the XOXOS stuff worked, which means all his Q series of algorithmic plugins..makes for some happy tweaking!
EDIT: forgot the Kraklie stuff. I only tried a few: the EZ poly worked fine , and also Vurt box ( but be carefull..some presets are extreme)
However his new one: EFFem, did not work well, and hung Receptor . Bummer.
BTW: once the plugins are installed, you can happily drop FXB banks in the installer folder and you will see the bank when you open up that plugin. Good to take advantage of this as theres lots of good preset banks for the free stuff ( as well as commercial) For examples, I was happy to see my own crystal banks to use in crystal.
anybody else have a report? I am still experimenting. too.
