What is really Receptor??

[farenheit]

Hi Guys,sorry for this silly question but i didn't find any
clear informations about audio in receptor,exept of course
all plugins stuff.
If i'm not wrong,the muse software have a sequencer,but i want
to know if i can plug an audio instrument,e.g:guitar,voice,bass
and record it in the muse sequencer like cubase do;can i also
have a realtime effects on my inputs?

Hi Farenheit,

Receptor does not have a sequencer onboard. It is strictly a VSTI plugin player. You need to drive it 'live' from an external sequencer or MIDI Keyboard. Muse have provided a plugin for sequencers (on a separate DAW computer) such that you can provide MIDI and Audio interconnect to that external computer via ethernet (called Uniwire). This makes plugins running on Receptor appear as if they are running inside that external DAW (to some degree).

Hope this helps,
Kevin L

PS. Receptor has audio inputs. A guitar or mic can send a signal in to be processed by a Receptor plug, but the audio simply comes out of the Receptor outputs. You must somehow connect Receptor audio to your sequencer to record the processed audio.

Thanks Kevin,feel much better now
I really projected to buy a unit thinking it was also
a midi-audio sequencer,but i think it could have been
easily done in muse software and i wonder why they
didn't do it,for my point of view,its a waste of
technology,not for plugins but for no-audio sequencing.
Too bad they didn't do it

because its not intended for that purpose.

thats a bit like saying 'its a waste of technology that my car isnt also a hovercraft'; the receptor exists to run plugins; thats the point of it.
