Receptor's intuitive, mixer-like architecture combines up to 16 different audio sources, which can be either internal VSTi instruments or external analog/digital inputs. Each source is then routed through its own inline effects matrix that allows three VST plugins to be configured in every possible parallel/series arrangement. From there, each source is sent to a dedicated mixer channel, where the sound can be further processed by sending it to two dedicated effects busses, each with another fully configurable VST effects matrix. Need more processing? There is yet another VST effects matrix on the master output, for mastering and sweetening effects.
In all, Receptor provides architectural support for as many as 16 simultaneous VSTi instruments and 57 VST effects, while further offering the ability to process external inputs using its front-panel high-Z input, its rear-panel balanced analog inputs, or its S/PDIF digital input.
And, all this effects power can be harnessed through Receptor's intuitive front-panel interface, with full front panel and MIDI access to millions of internal patch locations. For those who prefer mice to buttons, you can connect a mouse, keyboard and monitor directly to Receptor, or you can network it to your Mac or PC and control it remotely from a window on that machine.

By Muse Research | August 2008 | Feature
Randy Cohen is a classically trained pianist who graduated Oberlin College with a music degree and has been involved with musicals since attending High School. He became hooked on synthesizers at an early age, and his first keyboard was a Korg M1. In college, became actively involved in various theater productions and jury-rigged his first pit keyboard setup using some DX7s, some Proteus modules, and two PCs running Cakewalk Jukebox... and it kinda worked! At that point, he apparently became addicted to the thrill of live theater, and several years later he found himself in New York, where he worked his way up as both a player and a programmer.
