[papouillette]

Anaheim, California. January 19, 2012—-Muse Research and Development, Inc. is debuting a completely new entry-level RECEPTOR called RECEPTOR VIP (Virtual Instrument Player). RECEPTOR VIP makes use of an entirely new user-interface inspired by the MuseBox, and includes an incredibly simple front panel hardware interface to find and manipulate your virtual instrument and effects presets quickly. Sporting a new 2U rack-mount design, this product is ideal for customers who need more power and channels than a MuseBox, and the RECEPTOR VIP provides a lower-cost alternative to the top-of-the-line RECEPTOR 2+ PRO and PRO MAX models. The RECEPTOR VIP model will replace the existing base model RECEPTOR 2+, and will ship in March with a MAP price of $1599.

New Hardware, New Software, New functionality, New Price Point!

The RECEPTOR VIP is an entirely new design. It features high-quality stereo inputs and outputs on the rear panel, a full size MIDI input, a footswitch input for incrementing or decrementing through presets, as well as front-panel guitar and microphone inputs (with phantom power). The front panel volume control and headphone output round out the I/O, letting you listen in private.The front panel hardware interface is entirely new, featuring backlit buttons for selecting presets and changing channels, as well as a backlit blue 2-line LCD. The unique "PLAY" mode of RECEPTOR VIP lets you quickly browse factory presets with the turn of a knob, and calling up presets at a gig is as simple as pushing a button. In fact, the front panel hardware interface is so easy, even a non-musician can start using RECEPTOR VIP without instruction!

Like its big brothers, RECEPTOR VIP's high performance is a given

Like all RECEPTORs, the RECEPTOR VIP features a dual-core processor with 4GB of high speed RAM and a 1TB hard drive to make your virtual instruments and effects perform like the dedicated hardware devices they replace. And just like RECEPTOR PRO and PRO MAX, you're assured of remarkably low latency, superb audio quality, and superior stability whether you are playing live or recording in the studio.And gigging musicians will love RECEPTOR VIP's unique Dongle Garage™ - a place to keep your iLok dongle safe and secure during transport but easily accessible for adding licenses. With your dongle safely parked in the Dongle Garage, you'll never be stuck at a gig without your software security key!

New OS 2.0 Software Makes RECEPTOR VIP a Very Impressive Product

Tying all of the new hardware together is a completely new software platform called Muse OS2.0. Muse OS2.0 provides all the high-performance VST hosting benefits of previous RECEPTORs, but adds new user interface features that make it a delight to use. For example, MuseOS 2.0 features the exclusive SoundFinder™ feature for navigating through the factory presets. This allows even a novice user to take advantage of the immense power and functionality offered by RECEPTOR. Additionally, the graphic user interface features a truly simple drag-and-drop interface for creating your own sounds, letting you run up to 16-instruments or effects at one time. Also new to MuseOS 2.0 is complete MIDI Learn functionality, which lets you marry your RECEPTOR to your controller keyboard or MIDI guitar foot pedal with ease. Finally, the stereo mix channel with configurable effects makes this a truly comprehensive device suitable for any performance situation.

RECEPTOR VIP is ready to go, right out of the box.

Unlike a computer, RECEPTOR VIP has tons of virtual instruments and effects built in with presets created by world-renown sound designers. RECEPTOR VIP comes with MusePlayer by Universons pre-installed, as well as great virtual instruments and effects from Camel Audio, Applied Acoustics, ForeFront, WaveArts, MuVoice Technologies, and others. Also installed in demo mode on RECEPTOR VIP are various virtual instruments and effects that you can try in a fully functional demo period before purchasing giving you the opportunity to truly "try before you buy". And finally, thanks to Muse Research's partnerships with Native Instruments and IK Multimedia, you'll have the KOMPLETE 8 collection and the Total Workstation Bundle pre-installed in demo mode and ready to authorize, letting you expand your sound palette quickly and easily.“RECEPTOR VIP is a breakthrough product for Muse Research" comments Bryan Lanser, VP of Product Development at Muse Research. “This product delivers the unrivaled world of virtual instruments and effects to musicians in a portable and robust package with a user-interface that is incredibly easy to use. We're really excited that we are able to empower musicians with this unique combination of software and hardware, and look forward to sharing this solution with the market.”RECEPTOR VIP will ship in March 2011 and will have a US MAP price of $1599.Find out more at www.museresearch.com, send an email to info@museresearch.com, call (650) 326-5400, or contact your local dealer.

Merci des news.

J'espère qu'ils vont vendre des MuseBox et des VIP, parce qu'il est temps de se mettre à redévelopper le Receptor 2 !

Effectivement, l'OS de base du Receptor commence à dater...

nouvel OS 2.0 pour le recepteur 2 PRO et PRO MAX avec nouvelle interface si j'ai bien compris.

Anaheim, California. January 19, 2012—-Muse Research and Development, Inc. has enhanced their RECEPTOR 2+ PRO and PRO MAX models with the release of MUSE OS2.0 software. This entirely new software version features an incredibly simple user interface that introduces the SoundFinder™ technology for organizing and navigating presets in the RECEPTOR. SoundFinder was first developed for their MuseBox product which was jointly developed with Peavey Electronics, but unlike MuseBox, the MUSE OS2.0 supports up to 16-channels of synthesizers and audio effects thanks to the superb processing power of the dual-core processors found in the RECEPTOR 2+ PRO and PRO MAX models. Additionally, the software features enhanced MIDI functionality including full "MIDI learn" capability, as well as other advanced programming and preset functionality to make these models of RECEPTOR better than ever! And since there are so many major touring bands and artists use RECEPTOR and are familiar with the mixer style interface, MUSE OS2.0 features a "Classic" mode lets you continue to use the legacy interface with its classic look and feel.

MUSE OS2.0 makes RECEPTOR 2+ PRO and PRO MAX easier to use than ever!

The new user interface sports a simple workflow that starts with the SoundFinder function. SoundFinder lets you group all your presets using "TAGS" that denote the category, character, or source of a sound or effect, as well as letting you create your own custom TAGS to organize sounds into set lists for use at a gig, or for organizing your sounds by project when recording. The convenient drag and drop nature of the interface makes it incredibly easy to organize your sounds and make modifications to your TAGs on the fly.Central to the new look and feel of the MUSE OS2.0 interface is the "virtual rack", found in the center of the GUI. Simply drag the picture of a virtual instrument or effects into an open "slot" in the rack and you are able to make music instantly. Editing or tweaking your presets is just as easy: simply click on the picture of the plug-in and up pops the interface! Never has it been so easy to take advantage of the superior sound quality and performance of virtual instruments and effects.

Powerful MIDI filter and MIDI learn features make live performance a breeze

Controlling those virtual instruments and effects is also easier than ever thanks to the powerful MIDI Filter (complete with real time MIDI event monitor mode) and a comprehensive MIDI learn feature.The Muse OS2.0 software is pre-installed and ready to run on the tried-and-true RECEPTOR 2+ PRO and RECEPTOR 2+ PRO MAX hardware. Between the compact, portable and robust packaging of RECEPTOR 2, the superb built-in audio and MIDI interfaces, and the new super-simple user interface, you'll find your inspiration and creativity unbound with this new combination of hardware and software.

RECEPTOR'S "Classic" interface remains supported, and has also improved

Thousands of leading bands and artists rely on their RECEPTORs, the industry standard for mission-critical music making and effects processing. As a result, many touring artists and theatrical installations might not want to transition immediately to the new user-interface. So for those clients, MUSE OS2.0 system software features the "Classic" legacy user-interface that existing musicians know and love. But even this classic interface has been upgraded with new "Smart Snapshots" mode that lets you selective lock or unlock virtual instruments in a Snapshot Bank, letting you move between predefined sounds and effects instantly, even when they consist of large sample libraries.“We're very pleased to offer this massive software update for the RECEPTOR 2+ PRO and PRO MAX models" comments Bryan Lanser, VP of Product Development at Muse Research. “We realize that RECEPTOR is a very powerful product, and by simplifying the user interface we believe that everyone can now take advantage of what it has to offer musicians, whether they play keys, guitar, drums, or engineer and produce records. Its a great step forward in making RECEPTOR as easy to use as it is powerful and reliable.”Find out more at www.museresearch.com, send an email to info@museresearch.com, call (650) 326-5400, or contact your local dealer.

C'est un pas en avant. Le truc qui m'agace c'est qu'on a toujorus pas d'option de backup avec le R2 et qu'on est donc toujours obligé de sortir le DD pour le cloner.

Tout à fait!
Moi ce qui m'énerve sur scène, c'est le manque d'information chiffrée en db sur les faders de la console.
Lorsque l'ingénieur façade me demande 3db de plus sur une piste, je suis obligé d'y aller de manière empirique...
