"For anyone touring or moving from studio to studio, the Receptor 2 is almost too obvious not to use. With knockout processing punch, it’s as much the heavyweight champ of hardware hosts in 2010 as the original was for 2004—and then some. In light of the new pricing, its performance earns it another prize: our Key Buy award."

"I was well impressed by the roadworthiness of the insides. This unit is most definitely going to last to the end of the tour!"

"...the more I used it, the more I fell on love with its straightforward plug-and-play philosophy. "

...Receptor’s popularity among professional musicians is testimony to its success, with some even buying three or four for their gigging rigs."

"...Like a computer without all the drama... reliability, compared to a Laptop, is greatly increased...easier to use than most hardware synths and infinitely more versatile... a very good idea that functions exactly as promised"

Audio Technology Magazine

"A compelling alternative to a traditional computer based soft-synth and plug-in package... Receptor is reliable, easy to use, and powerful, and even more surprisingly, affordable."
