VSL on the receptor???

[danmack]

This maybe another quest or maybe more trouble I may be making for myself. I saw the KVR announcement about the VSL muted trumpet which sent me over to their site. There a few instruments there that sample modeling does not have yet and their player looks more like the swam type plugin than relying on Kontakt as a library host. This leads me to several questions that I could not find easy answers for on their site and a couple are more about the receptor.

1. I see them listed as windows and then a 64. Are they only 64 bit or are they 32 bit as well. This would end this really quick as they would need a Trio or Quattro to run.

2. I would guess they are wind control or breath control capable and this is a question for them.

3. They use a USB key and I have an ilok 2 as well as a Steinberg key for elicensing. Does the receptor 2 have an internal usb where I could park the license key?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Regarding [3]:
Physically, you could mount a USB port within your receptor chassis. I think Muse was even offering this as an option, such that everything would be secured down from loosening.

The real problem is the eLicenser itself. There is no driver for eLicensors on Linux, and the Receptor has no way to understand this USB key if it were plugged into it.

Hope this helps,

PS Wow, at first I thought you were asking about running Vienna's Ensemble host on Receptor HW. That would be way cool, as it connects to modern DAWs via ethernet. This would never happen without changing the base OS (eg. Linux -> Windows)

That does help, as does going to their sight and seeing that they don't really say anything about wind control that I could easily find. It sounds like a fool's errand to pursue this further. Otherwise having a great time running all of the Swam stuff on my 2+ in rack mode too. Just need to figure out the rack mode approach to program change commands and how they will work in live mode.
