Please release x86 .vst1 version to enable installation on Muse Research Receptor

Hi Izmar,

Could you please release an x86 .vst1 version to enable installation on Muse Research Receptor

Thank you

VMPC2000XL uses JUCE, and the oldest JUCE I can find is JUCE 3.2 and it doesn't support VST1. I'm not sure if JUCE ever supported VST1.

I also couldn't find a VST1 SDK for download anywhere.

So my initial investigation leads to a dead end in more than one way unfortunately. If the VST1 SDK somehow becomes available and there are no legal issues (very small chance), we can take a look, as it might be a fun exercise.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the bulk of VMPC2000XL's functionality is in this library: https://github.com/izzyreal/mpc

If the VST1 SDK is available, someone could in principle create a VST1 implementation of that library.

@blaylok On a Discord server I've been told that the Muse Research Receptor supports VST2. Is this information incorrect? Do you have any resources that discuss compatibility? Are there firmware updates with changelogs etc.? I skimmed the Receptor manual, but I couldn't quickly find anything regarding compatibility.

I would like to try using a VST2 and see if I can get that working. Are you able to point me in the right direction for a vpmc2000xl release that supports vst2 please? I believe the Receptor may support vst2, i thought to try vst1 first as the Receptor is from circa 2009 (Receptor v2+) Thanks Izmar

From a Google search: AI Overview Yes, the Muse Research Receptor is designed specifically to support and run VST2 plugins in a dedicated, portable hardware format. It acts as a specialized, Linux-based host for Windows-format VST instruments and effects, allowing them to function without a computer. It runs VST2 plug-ins natively on its internal engine. Key details regarding VST support: Format: Primarily supports Windows VST2 format instruments and effects. Functionality: Acts as a dedicated, standalone player for VSTs, often used for live performances to avoid computer-related issues. Installation: Users can install their own VST2 plugins, sometimes requiring the Receptor Tools and Uniwire software to transfer plugins via Ethernet. Limitations: While it supports many VST2 plugins, it is a Linux-based system, and not all VSTs (particularly those with complex copy protection) may work. Essentially, the Receptor allows you to take VST2 instruments and effects from a computer-based DAW and run them in a dedicated hardware unit.

Apologies, I should have done a little more research before asking you for a vst1 version. Sorry about that Izmar.
