Muse Research Receptor reviews

What the Press Thinks (Check Out the Artists)

Keyboard

" The Receptor Qu4ttro and Trio are immensely powerful musical tools. With some commitment from the user, it’s quite possible to solve nearly all of your synthesis and effects needs in one box. "

" The latest Receptor remains the standard for musicians who want the power of software instruments in road-worthy hardware, without the complications of a mainstream computer OS. "

Receptor Earns Key Buy Award"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."

SOS

"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."

"This thing rocks! If it weren’t for the potential for
bodily harm from Recording’s Mike Metlay, I
would never give it back."

"...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"

audioMIDI"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."
