There’s a lot to be said for having your vast collection of samples in one place – in this case, in a Muse Receptor module, which is built to handle the rigors of the road (most desktop and laptop computers simply aren’t). Many of the world’s A-list film and TV composers have used the original Receptor to create everything from simple jingles to full scores! Now, the new Receptor 2 Pro Max actually performs significantly faster, thanks to its new 3GHz dual-core processing engine, 3GB of super-fast RAM, and a whopping one terabyte hard drive, along with an E-SATA port for connection to external drive arrays. Add to that the Pro Max’s highly efficient software platform, and you’ve got an ideal production solution that still fits in a 2-rackspace box and weighs only 18 pounds.
Receptor 2 Pro Max significantly enhances any workflow and allows users to work smarter, through a variety of unique software features, such as the exclusive Universal Preset Access (UPA), which displays all of the factory presets of a virtual instrument or effect for easy access from the mixer-like user interface, saving users from having to call up a plug-in by entering its own graphical user interface. What’s more, Receptor 2 Pro Max’s enhanced Ethernet performance works in tandem with Muse Research’s exclusive UniWire technology, which lets you off-load processor-intensive tasks to the Receptor 2 Pro Max, preserving your main CPU for operation of the user’s DAW software.
The Receptor 2 Pro and Receptor 2 Pro Max also feature updated factory sounds, including hundreds of presets based on the Plugsound BOX collection of virtual instruments. This collection of keyboards, synths, GM sounds, drums, urban sounds, and loops is now included with every standard Receptor. It’s an astounding $700 value, and you get it free!
