The Receptor VIP is housed in a rugged, black steel and aluminium 19-inch chassis with built-in rack ears. In this review, we'll concentrate on the new features implemented in the VIP, and give an overview of its operation and factory sounds from the viewpoint of a gigging keyboardist currently 'resting between engagements'. VIP is short for Virtual Instrument Player, though buyers are at liberty to assume the usual meaning if it makes them feel special! SOS reviews of earlier Receptor models can be read online at /sos/mar05/articles/muse.htm and /sos/jun10/articles/receptor2promax.htm. The Receptor VIP is Muse Research's new entry-level model, which replaces the Receptor 2+. In other words, it functions like a piece of pro audio equipment. The Receptor, on the other hand, dispenses with annoying 'wall wart' cables, has built-in MIDI as standard and can be securely screwed into a rack for stage use and touring.
If that sounds like heresy, consider the advantages: computers aren't designed for stage use or road travel, are susceptible to vibration unless fitted with an SSD drive, often have fiddly AC adaptors and require a separate MIDI interface. Muse Research continue to refine their Receptor virtual instrument player.įirst released in 2005, the Receptor hardware player makes it possible to run virtual instruments and plug-in effects outside of a computer.
