Receptor Introduction
Jordan Rudess, keyboardist extraordinaire for Dream Theater, applies his amazing technique and artistry to demonstrate just some of the diverse and exciting sonic possibilities that exist within Receptor.
Receptor Hardware
Jordan takes you on a tour of the various inputs, outputs, knobs, and buttons that adorn this beautiful, durable, quiet, road-ready, 2-rack sound and effects module.
Receptor's Front Panel Interface
Thanks to some very clever design work, nearly every element of Receptor can be controlled using only its front panel -- ideal for making music without hooking up your computer or a monitor. Learn the basics of Receptor's front panel operation with Muse Research product designer, grEGORy simpson.
Controlling Receptor from your Computer
Jordan discusses how Receptor connects to his computer-based recording environment, and how its remote control application allows him to control Receptor from within this environment.
Receptor's Graphical User Interface
Receptor's simple and intuitive graphical interface belies the power, flexibility, and sonic potential of the unit. Receptor can be easily understood by beginners, yet provides all the advanced features required by professional performers, composers, and producers. Jordan and Egor take you on a tour of the basic principles behind Receptor's graphical user interface.
Receptor plugins and Plugorama.com
Jordan demonstrates some of Receptor's incredible no-cost plugins, and Egor discusses how Plugorama benefits Receptor owners, and how to expand and update your Receptor with new plugins.
