MUSE Research Inc
MUSE Receptor
Hardware VST Player

MUSE Research were a company that made a hardware VST player known to the world as the MUSE Receptor.

​

The Receptor came in 4 main flavours:

• Receptor 1

• Receptor 2, 2+

• Receptor TRIO

• Receptor Qu4ttro

With each flavour having sub models in the range.  Each flavour increased the power of the underlying computer platform that ran the Receptor operation system and hosted VST's.

​

The basic concept of the Receptor was to run a LINUX based personal computer that hosted commercial VST's releasing load from the controller keyboard or production DAW environment to run other audio processes.

​

It could also be used the way many artists use MainStage or other computer based VST players.

​

MUSE Research went bust (ceased trading) in 2015, leaving the artist user base to support each other independently. 

​

Personally I love my Receptors, I currently own two of these.
