Muse Research launches a first with Receptor

Newly-formed Muse Research has launched with Receptor, a sophisticated but simple-to-operate VST instrument and effects player for studio and live applications.
The problem with many VST instruments and effects, say Muse, is that they are difficult to use and set-up, but the Receptor’s intuitive front panel with knob controls makes it easy.
The 2U rack-mountable, multi-timbral sound and effects Receptor makes the task of using plug-ins as easy as ‘dial and play’. Using proprietary Muse software, Receptor can run VST software from the best developers in the world without the complexity and fragility of a computer.
Receptor's mixer-like architecture combines up to 16 different audio sources, which can be either internal VSTi instruments or external analogue/digital inputs.
Each source is then routed through its own inline effects matrix, allowing three VST plug-ins to be configured in every possible parallel/series arrangement.
Receptor provides architectural support for as many as 16 simultaneous VSTi instruments and 57 VST effects, while processing external inputs using its front-panel high-Z input, its rear-panel balanced analogue inputs, or its S/PDIF digital input.
