Muse Receptor runs on Linux!

The link to the source code don't works

I just noticed the same. Clearly they appear to be currently in breach of the GPL license...

i contacted Muse at the beginning of the month to let them know their FTP server is down. one of their developers just now got in touch with me to say that the server and files are back up:

their sources are in several labeled RPM files. check the last FAQ on the page.

Muse Research are NOT in breach of the GPL.

In fact two days ago, myself, some Muse R&D guys and Wine-developers got the ball rolling to have a bunch of their patchwork merged into upstream wine.

The rest of the good patchwork (that is useful both wine / kernel) is a part of the L_ProAudio Project @ Sourceforge.net;

https://sourceforge.net/projects/l-proaudio/

Muse are good guys (who make awesome products) and have been _very_ helpful AND approve of what i am doing @ L_pa (and there will likely be some interaction between them and i in the future, possibly trading patchwork for wine and/or the kernel. It's been discussed between them and myself).

For a little more background, the Receptor is running Wine 1.3.24 (with a number of hacks) + Fedora X (depends on version), kernel 2.6.33-rt ~ with a bunch of hacks (primarily for their H/W), nTrig display for the front-panel, I believe a custom ICE based soundcard, etc, etc. As was discussed in another thread recently - The Receptor only supports a sub-set of VSTs available for Windows ~ but most of the big_boy VST developers DO aim for wine/receptor support, behind closed-doors.

Muse goes even further (as autostatic pointed out), into having a team that fix quirks in VST spec, to run _more_ plugins on their platform. L_pa has _some_ of those quirks, but Muse develops an in-house VST host that is 'Wine-based' specifically. Within their host is how they really get everything sorted out, nicely.

I've used receptors over the years, but have never owned one ~ way too expensive for me to justify, unless i was a touring professional (in which case, i wouldn't hesitate.)..

I'd love to try Receptor, just to have the experience. I've had good experiences with both LMMS and Reaper for my VSTs, so I don't feel a need for Receptor at the moment, but I agree that in a live situation, it's probably the answer to everything.

Which gets me thinking... All those hardware synths (Roland, Korg, Yamaha, etc..) all have built-in computers. -Are they unix-based??
