Muse Research Receptor


via this auction

Note the USB port.
The Receptor 2 is out BTW.
This is the original Receptor

auction details:
"Muse Research Standard Receptor Rack Synthesizer Plug-In Module
1.0 Revision C. 1GB RAM. 150GB hard drive. With Ivory and Elektrik Piano installed

General Description
One instrument... Two rack spaces... Millions of sounds... Infinite possibilities.
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.

Plugin 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 plugin 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 plugins with everything that's good about hardware."

Ruffa - Quick Trance Melody


YouTube via Rufon
"Trance Melody Composed By Ruffa. Used the Clavia Nord Keyboard, one powerful Synthesiser!"
Two odd/interesting things about this one. The obvious - the image is the Waldorf Stromberg which hasn't been released yet. Two, I wonder what Nord Keyboard. It doesn't sound like a Nord Lead, more like the Virus, although I guess it could be heavily processed. Nord Lead 3 or G2? Anyone with one, feel free to comment.

Anyone know what type of organ that is? :)

Update via Ryan in the comments: "This is the organ in the lobby of the oh-so-painfully-hip 'The Standard' hotel in downtown los angeles.

It's an appropriately-named 'Model 2001' made by Thomas Organs."
