Muse Research Receptor Pro with Komplete Inside - £2925.40
If you ever dreamed of the perfect sampler, sound module, synthesizer, and effects processor, you'll be happy to know that your dream has come true! Komplete 5 gives you 11 different award-winning instruments and effects, letting you cover any style of music – over $3000 of software total if purchased separately... And when installed in Receptor, you're able to turn those 11 plug-ins into 28 total, since you can run any of the instruments through the effects sections of some of the other plug-ins! Komplete 5 is super-powerful, but Receptor makes using Komplete 5 super-simple – since all of the instruments and effects are pre-installed, pre-authorized and ready to play.
Receptor gives you instant access to any of the thousands of sounds available right from the front panel thanks to our exclusive unified preset architecture – say goodbye to cumbersome fumbling through computer interfaces trying to find the right sound at a session. However, if the inspiration strikes and you want to create your own completely distinctive sound, Receptor's graphical user interfaces support of all of these great plug-ins lets you dig deep and go unique.
The power of Komplete 5 unleashed with Receptor
Komplete 5 is considered to be the most powerful and comprehensive collection of synths and effects on the market. When coupled Receptor's powerful dedicated host environment, the result is a versatile “uber instrument” that covers all the bases.
And Komplete on Receptor is different than Komplete on your computer: the level of integration between software and hardware is much greater on Receptor since all of the patches are accessible from the front panel, as well as from the mixer level on Receptor's graphical user interface. Not only will you save the several hours it takes to install Komplete, you'll save countless hours using it thanks to how well integrated Komplete is into the Receptor environment.
And of course Receptor itself has become the preferred platform for serious players both live and in the studio thanks to Receptor's super low latency pro-grade audio I/O, clever features such as Snapshot banks for instant preset selection, and UniWire for using your Receptor with your host computer.
Simply put: Sometimes 1 1 = 3
So there's no argument that Receptor Komplete 5 is an incredibly powerful and desirable combination. But even more desirable is that this package comes to you at an unbeatable price!
Not only is it cool, it's a bargain too!
