Run standard VST instruments and effects live!
The Receptor Dedicated Hardware VST Plug-In Player with 160GB Hard Drive simplifies software synthesis and VST audio plug-ins without neutering the power that makes them so attractive. It combines the power of a computer with the ease-of-use, portability, and reliability of dedicated synth and effects hardware. It can run any standard VST instrument or effect and is easy to use; simply turn it on, dial up a plug-in, and play. Plus, it's optimized for live performance with lightning fast MIDI response, a rugged rackmount enclosure, and standalone operation. Its super-quiet operation, Ethernet connectivity, plus keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections make it studio-friendly, too. It includes $400 of software from Dash Signature, LinPlug, Ohm Force, and PSP.
The intuitive, mixer-like architecture allows you to combine up to 16 different audio sources from either internal VSTi instruments or external analog/digital inputs. Each can be processed through an inline effects matrix, a dedicated mixer channel, 2 dedicated effects buses, and a VST effects matrix on the master output. In all there are as many as 16 simultaneous VSTi instruments and 57 VST effects in addition to processing sources through its external inputs.
I/O includes MIDI I/O/Thru, S/PDIF I/O, 2 TRS inputs, 2 TRS outputs, mouse port, keyboard port, VGA connector for 1024 x 768 monitor, 4 USB 2.0 connectors, 100 Base-T Ethernet, an ADAT out, and a USB port, 1/4" guitar/instrument jack, and headphone jack on the front panel.
Housed in a standard 2U rackmount enclosure, inside is a 160GB hard drive and up to 2GB of PC2700 DDR RAM (accepts 2 sticks of 1GB). You can purchase a Muse-approved 1GB RAM stick for installation.
The front panel has a 24-character x 2-line LCD that allows you to navigate through various parameters and configurations. Controls include Input Level, Master Volume, display control knobs, 4 knobs with push buttons for parameter editing, 8 View buttons, 3 Modifier buttons, and Power button.
