Hi all, but Hi in particular to the people at MUSE! After reading a very interesting thread, I would like to make what i think is a plausible suggestion.
As stated a number of times, the Receptor box is quite a new concept and would require intial re-learning on everybodies part, including the inventors.
As a software and support engineer, I know for a fact that people will always use your product in some way you never expect or intend, and as a user, I know sometimes I don't always understand how a designer intends for things to be used.
This can be solved with some clear literature that will almost spell out the obvious, which sometimes is actually not so obvious. Might I suggest, that on MUSES website (NOT KVR) there be something like the following:-
1) A more dedicated page of exactly what muse is and isn't. I know some of this info is there already. but something a bit more complete. Spare nothing and assume nothing.
2) State Clearly which plugins are supported and those that aren't. To be frank, the KVR query is not very user friendly, especially to someone very new, (who as a matter of fact can't get into this forum easily)
3) A clear distinction between features to come and features present.
4) Some friendly examples of scripts for Maybe using Receptor in Cubase, Logic e.t.c, this often aids user understanding.
5) Other users suggestions
To the insiders, all the above might be very very obvious, but thats because we've been reading forums and have been closely following Receptor's evolvement.
Because Receptor is so new (and such a wonderful concept) it would be a shame for people to get upset and miss out simply cos they misunderstood what receptor was, is and will be about. Lets not lose those vital customers whose contribution can make such as difference.
I hope these comments won't go amiss.
Philoso.

I tend to look at it is HARDWARE. Just like you are looking at a Korg Trinity or Roland V-Synth. What is so different about Receptor is that you can have ANY STYLE of synthisis in one package and even layer then on top of each other. Plus you can plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I remember when that Roland Sampler came out and it was such a big deal that you could hook up a monitor to it and see everything visually. Now comes along Receptor with such a visual and multi-synthisis world, thats it's a dream station. Forget that there is a computer in there. Look at it for what it is. Every synth ( just about) since the DX7 has a microprocessor aboard anyway..so you should not compare it to a laptop. Thats what makes Receptor so special.
