Muse Research and Development has announced that its RECEPTOR 2 family of hardware plug-in players are now compatible with Synthogy's new Ivory II acoustic piano virtual instrument. Ivory II, which offers significant advancements over version 1.x, can be installed on any RECEPTOR 2 by downloading the installer helper file from the Plugorama.com. Users must own the retail version of Ivory II in order to install the Ivory II samples onto RECEPTOR 2.

Sound designer and Synthogy co-founder, Joe Ierardi comments, "We've seen Ivory run on the Muse Research RECEPTOR 2 with some pretty exceptional performance. RECEPTOR is an impressive piece of musical hardware, and a great way to run Ivory live or in the studio."

"We're extremely pleased to be able to run Ivory II on RECEPTOR 2," comments Bryan Lanser, VP of Marketing for Muse Research and Development. "This is truly an ideal matching up of technologies that deliver superb results to players as well as the audience. We're in awe of how well Ivory II creates the feel and sonority of a great acoustic piano, and we're very proud that RECEPTOR 2 lets their software run in its best possible environment."
