Muse Research RECEPTOR-2-PRO-MAX

It's a unique and versatile musical instrument that takes the best software-based synthesizers and effects processors, and turns them into real instruments. With the push of a button, Receptor can transform itself from a sampler into a guitar processor; from a drum module into a synthesizer; or a delicate mastering tool into a screaming drawbar organ. Receptor is designed to be equally at home on the stage or in the studio. It is compatible with Windows VST and "Receptorized" plug-ins. It can simultaneously run multiple VSTi instruments and effects. Use it in stand-alone mode for live perfomance or connect it to your network in the studio and reduce the burden on your DAW CPU. Up to 10 Receptors can be connected to a single computer via gigabit Ethernet. Control it entirely from the dedicated hardware front panel controls or attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to view the mixer-like software interface. It has 24bit/96kHz converters, balanced line-level inputs and outputs, S/PDIF digital input and output, high performance front panel instrument input, and 8-channel ADAT optical output. Includes a collection of six complete “rompler” programs from Plugsound – a $600 value – IK Multimedia’s Amplitube DUO, a $99 value – for FREE, along with dozens of other virtual instruments and effects with hundreds of presets that will get you on you music-making way.
