Whatever happened to hardware vst hosts, like the muse receptor, v-machine and several others?
The muse receptor was perfect, for stage use, but seems no longer available..
Are there any options left with 2019 hardware?

Looking at the ancient receptor prices and the price of a twice as fast laptop in the same decade, just made me wonder how they could sell a single piece. It was just a linux computer buried inside a box without a screen, and even bigger and heavier than a laptop + interface...

Please enlighten me what did i miss?
- there is an analogue revival, well but then there allways is..
- korg and Roland are moving to smaller devices..
-the big hardware workstation market seems dead, only the kronos is still alive.
- software developers, recognise how hardware developers fail in making crossovers between hardware and software and have started developing keyboards and controllers for studio and live use
Where it comes to running VST’s in traditional hardware..
And thats where this post is all about..
There isn’t happening much..
There are 2 german organ builders Wersi and Bohm
They have instruments that allow you to laod VST’s..
Now i can live with requiring a pc or mac(book)
But where is that piece of software that turns my pc into just a simple soundmodule
Which i can use from keys?
Solutions like NI komplete kontrol are entirely build with the studio in mind
Its not even simple to just layer and split some sounds over the keyboard..
It requires a sepperate DAW to do this...
Now please tell me what i missed, because thats why i posted here..
But then you said, i missed some things..
So maybe you could tell us here what i missed?

The ipad is incredible...
It is intuitive and offers a huge seelction of tools for live use..
Its very much like a modular box in my experience
However, it does not run my favorite soundsources

I got that last Macbook Air 11”, its about the size of a bigger iPad and would run all those. I heard good things about Surface Pros...

Take a look at samplers and wavetable synths - there's a ton of incredibly powerful hardware out there that will let you play whatever you want and allow you to quickly change sounds on the fly.

I haven't tried it myself, but isn't the Akai VIP software designed specifically for loading up plugins/effects directly for live control with hardware?

Also on Mac there is Mainstage, a steal price wise, as you get all their synths for 30 bucks. I have seen a lot of acts which just run their complete rig on Mainstage...
There are Win options for controlling a set purely with a master keyboard as well...
