The manual documents that it is not allowed to install plugins from the Receptor front panel, because some installs require a user interface such as to receive an authorization code.
This is an unfortunate and unnecessary restriction in our case that prevents working entirely directly with the Receptor from a Linux environment. Free Books. Free Books Introduction to Digital Filters. Sign in Sign in Remember me Forgot username or password?

In the case of Vienna, this is due to their E-Licenser system being incompatible with Receptor's custom OS, but EastWest are currently working on making Play run on the Receptor no deadline has been given for this. This being the case, anyone considering buying this machine in order to run a particular instrument, library or plug-in should first check with Muse Research to make sure it's supported.
While I was disappointed at not being able to play the Vienna collections, the positive clincher for me is that Native Instruments Kontakt sampler is supported, thereby giving access to a large number of top-quality libraries. I can also highly recommend Native Instruments' Komplete 8 bundle which includes Kontakt 5 , which can be pre-installed as an option in the VIP. By combining the functions of virtual instrument player and multi-effects processor in one box, the VIP offers a viable alternative to a computer for live performance and recording.
It's by no means a fail-safe escape route from Computer World — to add new instruments and effects you still have to think about installation, downloads, authorisation, Ethernet connections and so on, and that may be a deal-breaker for those who find computers a total turn-off. But for old-school players like myself, the sheer convenience and simplicity of the Receptor's hardware-based approach has great appeal. It can also be rackmounted, making it, on paper, a reasonable alternative to the Receptor VIP, albeit with a heftier price tag.
These two new modules represent the top of the Receptor range, with the Receptor VIP positioned as the entry-level model. The Classic is housed within the old chassis for which rack ears are an optional extra , and may also be used with the Presonus VSL.
The Receptor VIP's 'Live Mode' cracks the problem of long loading times that occurs with some virtual instrument and sampler patches. To use it, you first create a Tag folder containing all your gig presets in their live running order. The VIP loads as many as possible of the initial presets into RAM, then, as you progress through the set, it 'looks ahead' and loads the presets that come next.
If you jump ahead to a later preset, Live Mode automatically starts loading from that point on. This extremely useful facility emulates the ability of modern workstations and old analogue synths to perform instant patch changes, as well as providing the perfect excuse to serve up when declining to play a request: 'Sorry mate — that one's not in my Live Mode Tag.
Real-time preset changes can be done via a footswitch, a MIDI program change, or if using the GUI by clicking on the preset in question. The VIP's 'patch remain' function means you can even hold a note while switching to a new preset, thus keeping embarrassing on-stage silences to a minimum!
Gigging musicians who are squeamish about using a computer on stage now have an alternative: the Receptor VIP, a combined virtual instrument player and effects processor housed in a solidly built, rackmountable sound module. Although not all plug-in formats are supported, this box of tricks is open to user expansion and represents an all-in-one, supremely versatile hardware solution to a variety of musical needs.
Pros A reliable, great-sounding, rackmountable hardware unit for playing VST virtual instruments and plug-in effects. Easy to operate. Built for the road with no 'wall wart' mains adaptor. Cons VST plug-in support is not universal.
