Muse Research Receptor Rev C2 Instrument and Effects Module

Various manufacturers have developed solutions to running power hungry software audio processors, either inside the computer or as external DSP processors. Muse Research has gone a step further with their Receptor Rev C2, by allowing the external hardware unit to function as a DSP addition to a computer set up, or as a stand-alone, self-contained sound and effects module with dedicated analog and digital I/O. MIDI I/O is also included.

The Receptor comes loaded with a selection of virtual instruments and plug-ins along with software that functions fully for a thirty-day demo period, at the expiration of which the plug-ins required by the user can be easily purchased. Additionally, certain Windows-based VST instruments and plug-ins already owned by the user can also be installed on the unit. (The company is actively working with VST plug-in manufacturers to allow their products to be downloaded to the unit.)

When used with a Mac or PC computer setup, the processor communicates with the host computer via Ethernet and functions just like an additional DSP processor. In stand-alone mode, the unit can either be controlled from the front panel, or the user can hook up a monitor, keyboard and mouse and interact with the Receptor as if it were a computer (which it is, running a proprietary Linux operating system.)

In stand-alone mode, the unit functions just like any other hardware sound module or effects processor, and can be accessed by vocalists, guitarists, drummers, keyboard players, even by several players at once. Aside from stereo analog input and output, the Receptor has ADAT output along with coaxial S/PDIF I/O.

The unit has a sixteen-part multi-timbral software mixer that includes two dedicated stereo effects busses, each of which contains three "insert" type effects to which the user can assign any VST plug-in. Receptor supports virtual instruments that have multiple output assignments and multi-timbral plug-ins.

Key Features

Receptor on Stage

: • Designed so that a performer simply turns it on, calls up a VST plug-in, and starts playing

: • Syncs to MIDI beat clock, and responds to MIDI performance controllers. Complex patches can be recalled with standard MIDI program change messages

: • Can be triggered directly from a MIDI controller without computer integration

: • Z-load technology can drastically reduce the amount of time required to instantiate a plug-in

: • For instantaneous switching, users can load up all sixteen of Receptor's instrument channels with different plug-ins, then save different bypass states as patches

: • "Snapshot" function stops samples off-loading if an instrument is bypassed

: • In the event of loss of power, Receptor will reboot into its proper configuration within five seconds

Receptor in the Studio

: • Software-configurable module, designed to integrate completely and effortlessly into a network of computer-hosted digital audio workstations

: • User interface follows a familiar mixer-analogy, allowing users to create patches containing as many as sixteen simultaneous stereo plug-in instruments

: • Insert slots, two stereo send busses and the master buss all allow for adding fifty-seven additional effects plug-ins

: • "UniWire" technology allows all bi-directional MIDI and audio data to communicate easily and quickly between the Receptor and a computer

General

: • The audio I/O's were designed for sonic performance, with 24-bit/96kHz converters, balanced +4dBm input and outputs on 1/4" TRS connectors, plus S/PDIF stereo digital I/O and ADAT output
