Re: anyone using the Receptor Komplete?
Sat, March 8, 2008 - 7:33 AMi already have a macbook...and it's pretty much as dope as it can be for my needs. but even with a duocore 2ghz proc and 2gb ram, putting more than a few VSTs in Ableton Live tends to hog the CPU...
because of that price tag - i really want to know if anyone else is using it and how they feel about it. it does a shit load more than just run the NI Komplete line...it's basically the equivalent of a macbook pro totally geared beyond necessary means with no other software running on it - they custom built an OS based on a linux kernel that has no other duties than running VSTs so there are more cpu cycles available than a regular laptop - and there's the multi-out digital i/o and ability to plug a guitar or other instruments right into the front and fuck up the sounds with all the goodies inside...it looks dope - i just need feedback on if it is as dope as it says it is. -

Re: anyone using the Receptor Komplete?
Sun, March 9, 2008 - 8:19 AMi looked in to kyma years ago. biggest drawback of a kyma is its super high price - I could get a receptor and a new laptop for the price of a kyma. and what's with the low sample memory. 96MB!? This is the GB age of sample memory...not MBs... I realize kyma is a powerful processor, but that seems a bit tightwad on the memory end. and $600 for a 48MB RAM and proc upgrade? Yikes. Plus it is an entire new OS to learn and its proprietary. I can always add new VSTs to a Receptor as long as I have hard drive space... -

Re: anyone using the Receptor Komplete?
Sun, March 9, 2008 - 12:34 PMDude, that thing must be sick.......I just built a 1.9 ghz dual core amd w/4 gig memory running xp home/ableton/native instuments almost exclusivly and I`l tell you the increase I saw going to that machine was incredible......with 5 or 6 vst`s running (battery 3/ absynth/reaktor 5 /fm8) my cpu many times will still be down in the 15 to 25 % range.....imagine what that thing will do without running a whole windows kernal......If it is solid I`m sure it is way worth it.
