They are fairly expensive.  I don't remember exactly but they
were above $1000, and probably near or above $2000.

They run the Linux OS, which means that while they claim they
can host any VST, they actually can't.  Many of the commercial
VST companies have ported their products to the Receptor, but
not all.  Some of the free VSTs will run on it but many do not.
Mobius cannot run on it, I'm not sure about the other VST loopers. 

It seems best suited for keyboard players that want to 
take VST instruments on the road.
