Muse Research Receptor Support

Receptor from Muse Research is a state of the art hardware VST player for professional live and studio application. In the studio it can be used as "hardware plugin" over the "uni-wire" plugin.

OP-X PRO-II has been reported to work on Receptor 2 by our customer Kevin Looney. This is his installation guide (with a few notes from us):

NOTE: OP-X PRO-II isn't officially supported by Muse Research yet, so installation and use is at your own risk. In any case, as an OP-X PRO-II owner, if it shouldn't work satisfyingly for you, you also later on can apply for free crossgrade for the fully supported standard OP-X PRO which is pre-installed in every featured Receptor.

Installation Guide

Note: You can't have installed both OP-X PRO and OP-X PRO-II on the same machine, since they share their ID for patches compatibility. Receptor will ask you which one to use. All former sounds also can be loaded and used furthermore with OP-X PRO-II, but be aware that once loaded and saved again with OP-X PRO-II they can't be loaded anymore by OP-X PRO. So make a backup copy of all your important patches and banks before you install OP-X PRO-II.

Unsupported Install Method:

Simply install OP-X Pro II on any PC. Then take the installed folder (the "SonicProjects" folder) from your PC's VST folder, and copy this folder within the "Unsupported Plugins" folder on your Receptor. Be sure to remove the Uninstaller.exe file from this folder. Go to your Receptor GUI. Switch to the "Setup" tab. Press the "Install Plugins" button (make sure the 'check usupported folder' checkbox is selected).

Installer Method: (can be done from a PC or a Mac)

Unzip the OP-X download. Copy the 'installer.exe' file into your "Put Installer's Here" folder on your Receptor. Go to your Receptor GUI. Switch to the "Setup" tab. Press the "Install Plugins" button.

Refresh:

After installing run a "refresh plugins" cycle from the setup->tools menu, which will detect other versions if OP-X PRO. Since you can't have installed and run OP-X PRO and OP-X PRO-II at the same time on the same machine (since they share their plugin ID) Receptor will ask you which one to use. Since OP-X PRO-II offers upwards compatibility you however still can load all former OP-X PRO banks and custom patches.

Authorization:

You need to authorize OP-X Pro II the first time you instantiate it on a Receptor channel. This works the same way as on a PC.

Mac users: If your system refuses capitals (and only accepts lower case letters) then restart Receptor and the remote software. Then it should work again.

Notes about patches:

While you can still use the previous (receptorized) OP-X patches in OP-X Pro II, there has been alot of work put into the new patch banks. These banks are .fxb files that are in the "OP-X Pro-II" folder within your installation. You can select any of these banks and patches within the OP-X Pro-II GUI editor.

Alternately, to create Receptorized banks, and patches, you must separate all of the patches out of these .fxb files. You can do this from various VSTi hosts (I was able to do this from TobyBear's MiniHost). After exporting the .fxb files into folders of .fxp files, you can drop these folders onto Receptor's "Drop Installer's Here" folder - to create Receptorized banks. Note: This work has been done already! See here:

Receptorized Banks

Our customer and Receptor user Phil Muller has created receptorized banks of all OP-X PRO-II banks and has shared those for all Receptor users. Thanks a lot Phil! You can download them here:

PROII_ReceptorBanks.zip

Installation: Unpack the zip file and put all the folders to the "Drop Installer Folder" in Receptor, go to the SETUP Page and Click INSTALL. Now you will have all banks that you normally have to access from the synth's patch browser too available in the Receptor file system, which e.g. makes possible to access them directly from the front panel.
