Recording Software Plug-ins
Check out the Receptor – a stable Robust Software Sampler and Flexible Plugin Host by Tim Bridges
The all new software sampler taking the music industry by a storm and revolutionizing the way in which live music is performed at venues all around the world; indeed the new sampler and flexible plugin host is advancing the art of recording, breaking down old barriers and driving the art from forward to new levels. As recently quoted by Thomas Dolby it has “solved a lot of problems for me” and “I was blown away when this thing came out because I was able to take all my plug ins (synthesizers, samplers, drum modules and effects etc) and run them on a very small, self contained unit”.
The Receptor sampler has its own dedicated operating platform and software thereby offering an extremely low latency of around 2ms, which in layman’s terms means virtually instantaneous sound when the notes are played, which is great for keyboard players who are by and large the main users of plugin host samplers. Vocalists using sound and vocal effects including but not limited to “echoes”, “verbs” and “suppressors” will benefit immensely simply be reducing the size rack and amount of hardware required to create them; additionally, because the unit incorporates a revolutionary new UniWire technology each unit is able to connect to a computer-based digital audio workstation using only Ethernet cables. In this way it completely negates the need for heavy duty cables, cable racks and power units and as such the entire power consumption is reduced overall; reducing the need for cabling and extraneous hardware, less time is required by road crew or technicians in setting everything up.
Many musicians and sound engineers, music producers and performers are huge fans of vintage limiters and compressors which make great sound effects but also cost many thousands of dollars; however they are built around old technology and frequently don’t perform as they should or breakdown completely; step in the Receptor because most of these are found as emulations within the Muse Receptor software sampler.
If one is in a band and has two or maybe three sets of equipment moving between venues and gigs, the amount of rigging/de-rigging time saved can be of enormous value to both band and crew. In the words of Debbie Shair, keyboard and synths player in the band Heart “in terms of reliability, ease of use and performance, there’s nothing out there that compares to the Receptor”.
