Take Your VST Plug-ins Anywhere - Computer-free!

Muse Research RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside offers up a ton of muscle for your VST plug-ins - and it includes a copy of Native Instrument's massive Komplete 6 instrument bundle pre-installed! Whether you want to take your favorite virtual instruments and effects to the stage or offload plug-in processing from your computer, you'll love the Muse Research RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside. The original RECEPTORs were already groundbreaking in their design, and now Muse Research has upped the ante, packing 50% more memory and twice the processing power into the RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside!

Muse Research RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside at a Glance:
  • Meet the RECEPTOR 2s: More muscle than ever before
  • Play, edit, and store VST plug-ins
  • Incredibly powerful and versatile
  • Mixer-style interface
  • Includes Uniwire for DAW plug-in capability
  • Native Instruments Komplete 6 Included
  • "So should I buy this instead of a second computer?"

Meet the RECEPTOR 2s: More muscle than ever before
Both the RECEPTOR 2 Pro and the RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max boast a whole new software and hardware engine, giving you 50% more memory, twice the processing power, three times the hard-drive throughput, and 10 times the networking speed! What that means for you is serious muscle and efficient processing, allowing you to run even more virtual instruments and effects in the studio and onstage. The RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside sports a massive 1TB hard drive, 4GB of memory, a blazing-fast 3.0GHz dual-core processor, and an E-SATA external port.

Play, edit and store VST plug-ins
The RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside is incredibly easy to use - just turn it on, dial up a VST plug-in effect or instrument, and start making music. Optimized for live performance, RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside will amaze you with its lightning fast MIDI response.

Incredibly powerful and versatile
In addition to its ease of use, RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside's also extremely versatile. It can run VST software synths, guitar processors, and audio effects, essentially working as three products in one. And, you can use it in standalone mode and connect a keyboard, mouse and monitor for ease of use - whether that's live onstage or at a jam session. From its super quiet operation in the studio to its rugged rack mount enclosure, RECEPTOR is a tool designed to help you get your act together and then take it on the road.

Mixer-style interface
RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside's intuitive, mixer-like architecture combines up to 16 different audio sources, which can be either internal VSTi instruments or external analog/digital inputs. Each source is then routed through its own inline effects matrix that allows three VST plug-ins to be configured in every possible parallel/series arrangement. From there, each source is sent to a dedicated mixer channel, where the sound can be further processed by sending it to two dedicated effects busses, each with another fully configurable VST effects matrix. Need more processing? There is yet another VST effects matrix on the master output, for mastering and sweetening effects.

In all, RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside provides architectural support for as many as 16 simultaneous VSTi instruments and 57 VST effects, while further offering the ability to process external inputs using its front-panel high-Z input, its rear-panel balanced analog inputs, or its S/PDIF digital input.

Includes Uniwire for DAW plug-in capability
UniWire allows you to connect one or more RECEPTORs to a computer-based digital audio workstation using only Ethernet cables - no audio or MIDI cables are needed. By starting UniWire instrument and effects plugins, your digital audio workstation communicates with RECEPTOR as if it were both a virtual instrument and a virtual effect. This means that, unlike "old school" external sound and effects modules, RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside integrates with your digital audio workstation exactly like a locally hosted plug-in - but without using your host computer's precious CPU cycles. And the best part of all this? UniWire is 10 times faster with the RECEPTOR 2s and is included for free!

Native Instruments Komplete 6 included
Komplete 6 from Native Instruments puts award-winning synthesizers, samplers, effects, and guitar emulations, plus incredible professional sample libraries into one incredibly versatile and powerful bundle. It's ideal for anyone who's serious about creating great music in a MIDI environment. With the massive amount of sounds available with Komplete 6 and the serious performance prowess of RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max, the ultimate MIDI workstation is at your fingertips!

"So should I buy this instead of a second computer?"
You certainly can, and there are definitely benefits to doing just that. If you decided to use a second music computer, you'd also have to purchase an additional MIDI interface, another audio card or breakout box, another copy of your VST hosting application, and a second monitor to actually see it all work. Everything is built-in to RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside. It's designed to work equally well whether it's used standalone with only its front panel; standalone but connected to its own keyboard, mouse and monitor; or networked with an existing computer for remote control. RECEPTOR actually enhances an existing computer; it doesn't replace it. It is, in fact, an ideal companion for a computer-based DAW, especially if that DAW doesn't run Windows VSTs or is running low on CPU cycles.

Muse Research RECEPTOR 2 Pro Max: Komplete Inside Features:
  • Plays VST effects and VSTi instruments without requiring a computer
  • Can provide additional processing power to your computer via UniWire
  • Includes Native Instruments Komplete 6, pre-installed
  • 1TB drive
  • 4GB memory
  • 3.0GHz Dual-core processor
