Receptor is the Hardware Plug-in Player from Muse Research

A massive, expansive, and complex collection of electronic textures, the core of syntAX is a 2000+ patch synth library covering an immense amount of synth territory, including soaring leads, evolving pads, thick basses, harsh distortions, unusual textures, other-worldly atmospheres, FX, hits, blips, and more. Then syntAX blazes into new territory with its custom scatterFX engine which allows real-time manipulation and interaction with the syntAX core library. scatterFX is made up of two components: scatFX and stepFX.
- scatFX gives you control over rhythmic stuttering, allowing you to program, play, and command rhythmic patterns of syntAX.
- stepFX functions as an advanced step modulator allowing you to melodically animate pattern-based arpeggiations.
Both scatFX and stepFX lock to tempo and can be controlled by numerous external MIDI controllers, making the synth completely interactive.
Features:
- Over two thousand different synth patches across a wide variety of folders: Arp Attacks, Atmospheres, Basses, Distortions, FX and Hits, Leads, Pads, Phat and Filtered, SyntOrchestra, and Textures.
- 3.6 GB of 24-bit samples.
- The scatterFX engine available in all patches.
- Remote control of many sonic parameters, including scatterFX and envelope controls, available via MIDI CC.
- Independent control of scatFX and stepFX modules.
- Resonant filter controllable via modulation wheel.
- 16 Preset slots to save custom scatterFX settings.
- All rhythmic operations instantly tempo-sync to sequencer hosts.
- Customizable input quantization.
- Multi-timbral operation, supporting up to 64 simultaneous instruments loaded (subject to RAM availability), receiving up to 64 MIDI channels (16 in plug-in mode).

Vir2 Syntax
By Ken Hughes | March 2008 | Audition
The proliferation of sound libraries with included plug-in instrument engines has made it pretty difficult for any one library to stand out, particularly when a goodly portion of them are offered with Native Instruments’ Kontakt Player 2. Ironically, because of this engine’s popularity, developers have to overcome the “Great, another Kontakt library” perception straight out of the gate. Syntax aims to distinguish itself by offering analog synth sounds and textures that are a little left-of-center, and in this it succeeds. Whether or not the same results can be had from hardware or plug-ins you already own, though, is a legitimate question, so read on to learn a little more. [READ MORE...]
