Vst Plugins Vs Hardware
Hardware EQ vs Plugin EQ I've been wondering what is the practical use of a hardware EQ? Not so much the gear itself but where it sits in the chain. The hardware EQ would traditionally go from Mic-pre-eq-comp- DAW, therefore, whatever eq'ing is done, is permanent. Versus in a plug-in type setup, it's Mic-pre-comp-DAW- EQ during mixing. Digital piano vs VST. Digital Pianos/keyboards create the sound from the hardware that is installed in them and reproduce them through speakers or a headphone output. VST (Virtual Studio Technology) is a software that emulates a piano in your computer and it can be triggered through MIDI via a MIDI or USB connection, or directly from the DAW.
That's the Muse Research Receptor – a unique and versatile musical instrument that takes the best software-based synthesizers and effects processors available, and turns them into real instruments. With the push of a button, Receptor can transform itself from a sampler into a guitar processor; from a drum module into a synthesizer; or from a delicate mastering tool into a screaming drawbar organ.
Plug-in software has completely changed the way we make music. Puny samples crammed into tiny chips are a thing of the past. Fixed architecture synths, by their very nature, are forever incapable of adapting to an ever-shifting sonic landscape. In today's musical world, virtual instruments reign supreme. But using plug-in software can be an exasperating experience. Stability concerns and high latencies limit their effectiveness on stage, and high CPU demands limit their flexibility in the studio.
Receptor solves these problems by combining everything that's good about plug-ins with everything that's good about hardware.

Jeff Babko loves his Receptor because it blows away the hardware synthesizers it replaces. David Rosenthal loves his because it gives him the ultimate way to use software instruments and effects on stage. Two worlds. Two vantage points. One product to satisfy them both.
