That's what Terry Lawless had to say about his Receptors in the middle of a massive, worldwide tour with U2, and Muse Research couldn't be happier. After all, we designed Receptor so that performers could simply turn it on, dial up a VST plug-in, and start making music. With its lightning fast MIDI response, durability and stability, Receptor is truly optimized for live performance.

Whether syncing to MIDI beat clock, responding to MIDI performance controllers, or recalling complex patches with standard MIDI program change messages, Receptor integrates effortlessly into a live performance environment. And if your roadie kicks out the power cable, Receptor will reboot right back into its proper configuration within 5 seconds! Its flexible and intuitive architecture allows customers to create Receptor environments than can respond to patch changes instantaneously.

Receptor is robust and portable—hosting both today's and tomorrow's best plugins in an easy to use hardware environment. Receptor conforms to the performer's workflow, not the other way around. Do you want a dedicated, stand-alone visual editing and configuration environment? Simply plug a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly into Receptor and configure it without using a computer. Is the computer the center of your musical universe? Then connect Receptor's Ethernet cable to your computer and graphically control it directly from your Mac or PC. Do you not want to bother with monitors and mice? Receptor is completely controllable from its own front panel using dedicated knobs and buttons
