Has anyone got a Receptor unit (VST Plug-in Player), are they worth getting? I wonder if SM created plugins run on them correctly... Anyone tried it yet 🙂
Receptor
From the original SynthMaker forum (2004–2014), with its members’ names and dates.

I've not got one myself but I've heard good things about them for live use, I believe there are a bunch of videos at the Muse Research website, as to whether they'll run SM plugins I have no idea!

I had a look at there forum area today on kvr and it seems that it cannot run reaktor 5 just now so maybe plugins need some special code to work correctly on Receptor, i seems as if it won't just run any plugin effect.

My buddy bought a receptor made by muse I believe for live applications and ease of cpu usage in the studio....I've thought about getting one of these for about a year and a half now..This is why I've hesitated.......First off my buddy can only run 4 or 5 instances of waves mastering plugz..My cpu can kill that! Granted he didn't upgrade the RAM in the receptor, but for over a thousand dollars I can build or even buy a cpu twice as powerful for less money...It seems the receptor is here just to ease headaches with user friendlyness..Not something I'm willing to pay for...As for the traveling live application issue I do live shows all of the time with my two rack unit cpu's...I've even got the focusrite producer pack(a kick ass mic pre and more) as part of the same Rack Case...These two 64 bit cpu's individually cost the same as a receptor but have way more to offer...Also not all plugins are compatible with receptor...I know no instances of this with my old buddy but have read in several reputable magazines that they have had some rather serious incompatibility issues...I dislike sending a negative vibe towards anything but if you buy one you'll probably wish you had a cpu that is more reliable compatibility wise.. If you dont want to deal with LTC/VITC to MTC, Wordclock, or V- syncing two steinberg CPU's than a receptor would save you some time and patience but with consequences I see not worth it... If I were you I'd invest in a strong rack unit CPU..Just put the rack case in your car round up all of the cables and now you have more flexibility with two cpu's..If you're into live djing one cpu could even flip to a video and effects cpu something I'm yet to do....,and something receptor is completely incapable of....I hope this doesn't come across too as too STRONG a message but I'm just being real with you.. Hope I could help 🙂 😀 😉 thesoundscientist..............Peace and Science

Thanks The Sound Scientist, i doubt i will get one as they seem more of a tool for live bands that travel a lot and need vsts as part of there gigs which i don't do right now 🙂

Have you tried Teleport FX yet ? That will work with any plugs 😉
