"This is the Receptor PRO Jr., meaning it has the upgraded CPU and RAM but origanlly had 400 gb smaller hard drive and was upgraded to a 750 gb drive which was the largest in this series of units, so you have more than enough space.
It is mounted within a 2"foam re-inforced Anvil road with removable front and back case.
Also included are the following software programs (worth hundreds of dollars): Spectrasonics Atmosphere, Native Instruments B4II, Kompakt Nostalgia, Bosendorfer Ivory, MTron, and SampleTank 2. Look them up. You would pay over $800 in software to buy these package programs. I have never toured with this rig and it has limited hours on the machine. I used it in 2008 for a recording session. The strings/mellotrons on Rocco Deluca's "Mercy" album, recorded with Daniel Lanois were from this Muse Receptor.
Also incuded is a 17" Envision Monitor, a full sized typing keyboard and a mouse.
Other soft-synth programs that come inside this machine ( I am picking out the better ones... ) include: 4 Front Bass Module, 4 Front EPiano Module, 4 Front Piano Module, 4 Front Rhode Module, A Sine, Cheese Machine, Claw, ComboSister, CosmoGirl, Crystal, daAlfa2k, daHornet, Delay Lama, Drawbar, Drum Kid 4, DX10, E-Flex, EMM Knagalis, Enigmatron, ePiano, EVE, Express 3, Free Alpha, GTG 7, GTG Micro, JG-3, LogSynth, MPS.1, Mysteron, OnePingOnly, Pandemonium, PDPoly, Piano, PQNCooly, PQN Mopar, sf2, Synger
"Just a small shape synth sampler test. You can use the internal mic, but I used the iRig and an external one..."
"--- :::: NEW :: CoreMIDI :: /NEW :::: ---
Shape is a polyphonic synthesiser allowing the user to draw the shape of the oscillator waveform. The positive side of the oscillation is represented by 32 blocks and the negative side is its mirror, generating all sorts of possible raw retroish sounds. Shape is best experienced with akai synthstation 25.
Support for Akai Pro's SynthStation25 keyboard controller is included. SynthStation25 delivers instant hardware control for improved performance capability and expression. For more information on SynthStation25, visit http://www.synthstationapp.com.
What's New in Version 1.6
+++ Email tapes (send on export on/off button in settings).
+++ Embedded file manager (email files, delete files).
+++ CoreMIDI input (tested with camera connection kit and wifi).
+++ Sequencer.
+++ myTape number setting (allows you to reset/set this unique character.)."
"The Rhizome: the groove machine with and for VST has just been released.
The dream to combine the power of a PC and the ergonomic of a real musical instrument is becoming reality.
Feeltune announces the release of the Rhizome; one of the highlights of the MusikMesse when it was first presented last March. Many sites and magazines rated it best of the 2010 trade show! The Rhizome is the future of groove machines.
What are the differences with the competition? The Rhizome is a hybrid in which you install virtual instruments and effects in a VST/VSTi format (For Pc). No more limitations in terms of sounds and effects; with the Rhizome you choose the style of sound and instruments you want to play. Once downloaded you can mix your plug-in with the mixing desk; create your sequences, patterns and tracks with the multi modes and multi tracks sequencer which is the brain working behind the scene.
What are the differences with the other hybrids already on the market? The Rhizome is not just a keyboard with a Pc or a Pc Rack; it is a real musical instrument which has been designed for the pleasure to play and compose music and is equipped with software running an innovative interface with numerous displays and controllers.
The Rhizome is a real-time instrument: programming, recording, sampling, adding instruments and effects, tuning; all you do is live! There is no interruption when you play on stage or record in a studio. The objective: to free up your inspiration and creativity.
The development of the Rhizome took several years of R&D; 50 engineers and the validation of around 10 user groups. Today the Rhizome is an aggregate of the best technology and know-how.
For the Audio it is RME that does the job; it has been chosen because of its stability and sound quality which is recognized by everybody.
For the display; forget the small monochrome displays; the Rhizome offers 4 large displays (24 bit colors)
For the controllers; the Rhizome has 102 controllers in which you find 16 dynamic pads and 32 endless knobs
You get the Windows XPE which is a version of Windows XP Pro that has been redesigned and compiled especially for Feeltune. It offers a better stability and a total compatibility with VSTs.
For the effects and instruments; some of them have been developed by Ohm Force, well know key player of the market.
A Design and solid ergonomic; a size and weight that allows bringing the Rhizome with you as hand luggage when you travel by plane.
For its embedded system; you get power and reliability: Intel processor and mother board, server AC, silent fans.
Software, proprietary electronic card and box: build, assemblage and control in France.
Connections: The several in/out allow you to connect and use screens, mousse, midi controllers; hard disk and/or additional audio card.
Communication: The Rhizome is the first instrument to totally implement CopperLan; a new protocol that above the Midi transcription really revolutionize the communication between audio-video machines.

Another step closer. Is this the first iPad instrument/synth app with native OSC support? YouTube via MooCowMusic — April 21, 2010 — "New for Pianist Pro in the V1.2 update.
Control your DAW and hardware synths wirelessly via OSC with Pianist Pro. Use Pure Data (a free application for both OSX and Windows) on your PC to receive the OSC calls and translate them into MIDI messages to suit your setup.
Play your digital piano from the sofa, or even from another room...
via MooCowMusic: "We've added OSC support so that you can use your iPad to control your DAW or hardware synths wirelessly. All you need to do is install a simple (and free) application called "Pure Data" onto a PC / Mac on the same wireless network as your iPad, and use the provided patch to convert the OSC messages sent by Pianist Pro into MIDI messages. Those MIDI messages can be recorded on your DAW, and control soft or hardware synthesisers. Pure Data patches are easily configured to suit your setup. Play your digital piano from your sofa, or even from another room!
We are just putting the finishing touches to this free update and hope to have it submitted to Apple in the next couple of days. For more information about Pianist Pro, please see our website- http://moocowmusic.com"

Another step closer. Is this the first iPad instrument/synth app with native OSC support?
The holy grail will be the ability to go directly from your iPad to your hardware synths for multi-track sequencing (with virtual sliders and knobs to control assignable parameters), along with the ability to sync your native iPad synths with your external gear, all, of course, wirelessly. The only way this will scale across multiple apps is if we have a new standard - here's hoping OSC becomes that standard.
Currently I have my eye on iConnectMIDI. There's no mention of OSC, but if you look at the iPad/iPhone app icons on their website, you will see what looks like an icon for Pianist Pro.
BTW, I just created an OSC label. As you can imagine searching on OSC brought up a ton of posts mentioning oscillators rather than Open Sound Control. That said, I'm sure I'm missing a ton of OSC posts in the archives. If you spot any, comment in the post, or shot me an email and I'll update it.
Also included are the following software programs (worth hundreds of dollars): Spectrasonics Atmosphere, Native Instruments B4II, Kompakt Nostalgia, Bosendorfer Ivory, MTron, and SampleTank 2.
