It can be used standalone or with a computer via ethernet.

This is the first of its kind.
I hope to see more with features like firewire or usb2 via VST protocol working with computer sequencers.

hmm.,., this thing seems a little vague.,
16 channels internally but only one pair of outputs?.,
hmm.,.,
and how about authorizing plugs?
latency?.,
quality of up/down sampling., ?
cpu power?., (nice to have 16 channels but would be useless if you could only run 3 plugs cause of cpu limit)
their web page addresses absolutely nothing technical .,., so we will have to wait untill this product is finnished
btw., it's not 'first of its kind'
there are at least 2 other products that do the same thing.,
anyway, i think this is primarily a performance tool.,
bu i think it's totaly useless in most studio's because they already have a good computor and they can record vsti's without the box..,
so, in the end, i think you need to think realy hard wether you need this or not. (the price it still unknown.,)
if the price will be similar to the other boxes of this kind then i might be a better idea to buy a second pc.,
greets.,
aka.,

I just found this stuff today in kvr (never had heard of it before) and it looks quite amazing...able to run about 70 vst simultaneouslly!?!?! wow...
And from what I understand, this is a big step specially for mac users who can use their macs with any vst!
Hummm im very interested in hearing more opinions, the ones I read so far where really good
Im very curious to see this live and how the interface works

It is a cool device. My friend works for the company that manufactures them... it sounds like now is a better time to buy them than when they first came out, the early versions had ill-suited power supplies and overheat problems, but now they have changed to a better manufacturer that uses better components with much better results.
The main issue is that it runs Linux. So if a VST doesn't come as a naked .dll file, they need to write their own installer to adapt your vsts to run with it. I think they have all the Native Instruments ones covered and a few others but not everything.
But yeah, I think the box comes with built in compressors and warmers to offset the VST tinny sound.

Muse Research announces Receptor with Komplete 5 Inside at AES
At AES, Muse Research, the owner of KVR, has unveiled Receptor with Komplete 5 Inside, a special configuration of the Receptor hardware plug-in player with Native Instrument's Komplete 5 pre-installed, pre-authorized, and ready to make music. This configuration of Receptor lets you take your entire world of sounds with you wherever you go, thanks to Receptor's complete integration of MIDI and Audio hardware (including a high quality guitar input) combined with its exclusive hardware front panel user interface. Native Instrument's comprehensive collection of virtual instruments and effects offered in Komplete 5 lets you cover any style of music with Akoustik Piano, Elektrik Piano, Kontakt 3, B4II, Pro53, FM8, Absynth 4, Reaktor 5, Battery 3, Massive, and Guitar Rig 3. Owners of the current Komplete 4-based Receptor with Komplete Inside are eligible for low or no-cost upgrades to Komplete 5 depending on date of purchase. Receptor with Komplete 5 Inside will be available very soon through authorized Muse Research dealers.
Receptor with Komplete Inside: your favorite virtual instruments in hardware form
Keyboardists, drummers, producers, composers, and guitarists around the world have discovered Receptor to be the ultimate platform on which to run their favorite virtual instruments and effects. Now, Receptor with Komplete 5 Inside provides a comprehensive collection of instruments and effects available instantly without having to install or authorize the software – just take it out of the box and you'll be playing the 11 award-winning virtual instruments from Native Instruments within minutes. And Receptor's superior performance provides improved usability and significantly less latency over a desktop or laptop computer, letting you get on with the task of making music instead of fussing with your gear.
Receptor with Komplete Inside: powerful, portable, and compatible with your gear
Receptor works with any keyboard controller, guitar, or drum trigger system, and even lets you mix in your current sounds with those in Receptor thanks to its analog inputs. And Receptor's performance-optimized software gives you incredibly fast response and flexible sound creation ability, which is why the world's biggest bands and artists use Receptor to run their virtual instruments and effects instead of a computer. Whether you play live, or work primarily in the studio, Receptor gives you the ability to take all our sounds with you live in a compact and robust package. And in the studio, Receptor lets you un-burden your studio computer by running processor-hungry instruments and effects on Receptor and leave your DAW to focus on sequencing, recording, and mixing thanks to Muse Research's exclusive UniWire technology.
The ultimate in convenience saves you both time and money
Usually, the convenience provided by having software pre-installed and authorized would command a significant premium over purchasing the product separately and then installing it. However, that's not the case with Receptor with Komplete Inside: not only does this configuration save you many hours of installation time, but it actually costs you less than if you were to purchase the software separately and install it yourself. Not only does Receptor with Komplete Inside satisfy your right-brain's urge to make music without the hassle or complexity of a computer, the incredible value it gives you by saving you both time and money satisfies your left-brain's desire to make the best possible decision after careful analysis.
"We know that many Receptor owners already use our software for their creative work every day," says Daniel Haver, CEO of Native Instruments. "We fully endorse the versatile concept of the Receptor, and we are happy to team up with Muse Research to now provide this powerful combination to musicians in an even more affordable and convenient way."
"We're very excited to have Receptor with Komplete Inside running the Komplete 5 collection of virtual instruments. " explains Chris Halaby, President and CEO of Muse Research. "Nothing else on the market compares to Komplete 5's comprehensive collection of pianos, organs, synthesizers, drums, orchestral sounds, and guitar amp effects. Its everything you need in a compact, portable, and powerful package that gives delivers superior performance both live and in the studio." he concludes.

If you don't need it for live I agree with bone flute.
Rather build a PC in a rack, then use FX teleport or add a soundcard with ADAT output in your DAW and the DIY receptor to get 8 or more channels . cheaper, more powerfull.

Taken from kvr audio forum:
"you gotta hand it to the receptor for bridging the gap between the studio and the stage. Also the receptor makes a great "second computer" in my studio, taking the load off the main desktop by running most of my VST's. Try doing that with 2 computers using FX Teleport. Absolute pain the ass." |

why would you need more power for vst in today's 30503830core pcs? if i would get a dsp box i would want it to run something i can't just run on my pc...

I also agree that today we have good computers... maybe they can handle it... but when you got MANY VST's playing... hmmm |

You don't have to do it with FX teleport. you can just use a second computer with a soundcard and remotecontrol its desktop via appropriate software.
then run "vstack" on the second computer and control it all via midi.. then you have basically exactly the same.
Look at the price of that beast and at the CPU power. its just not justified for in the studio.
For stage: other story!

once i thought to take PC to live is too much , until i did it and found out its just like laptop as long the electricity is stable (and its not international gig i guess)
also price matters , what is it better then laptop if its gonna be 1000$ (and again whats with license for vst?)
nice idea , again price matters , maybe getting 1 good synth is also cool for great sounds and live capability www.sattelbattle.com

looks a lot like Creamware's Noah... sample principle, just VSTs instead of SCOPE plugins...
Yawn... next! 
I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea it's too limiting, and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity. -RR |
