ABOUT QUANTUM LEAP COLOSSUS
Future Music "VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT OF THE YEAR"!
“Colossus was the clear choice for our Future Music Magazine Virtual Instrument of the Year A.C.E. Award,” said Editor-in-Chief James Rotondi. “Its massive, comprehensive library of instruments, coupled with its top-tier, pro-level sound quality, made it the stand-out all-around "Virtual Instrument of the Year".
Keyboard Magazine (KEY BUY AWARD)
"Quantum Leap’s contention that Colossus covers all the basic musical genres is accurate, but in some ways, sells the collection short because there’s a ton of valuable, but definitely non-basic, sounds. And while they hit on the “Swiss army knife” concept, frankly, I’d respectfully disagree. A Swiss army knife is practical and useful, but I wouldn’t consider it inspiring. I found Colossus to be all three. Certainly, the luxury of a 32GB “ROM set” is something you don’t find in typical keyboard workstations, and they’re right about ease of use — although operation is simple, not simplistic. So does it have you “completely covered?” Well, nothing can ever cover everything you could ever want. But I’ve yet to find something that comes as close as Colossus. Playing the sounds is a joy, and one can’t help but respect the obvious amount of work that went into creating this library. Overall, Colossus is a superb collection that puts the essentials — and more — in a convenient, well-rounded package that definitely delivers on its promise." - KEYBOARD
Virtual Instruments Magazine
"There’s no such thing as the last sample library you need to buy, since there are libraries that cover every category in great detail, and there will always be different varieties of everything. But this library is complete enough to stand alone. Given its vast range of high-quality instruments, Colossus is equally ideal as the foundation of a professional sample library and as a fill-in-the-gaps collection. While its $1000 list price is a considerable investment for most musicians, in this case I consider it a bargain." - VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS
Electronic Musician Magazine
"Quantum Leap Colossus is a virtual instrument that holds a massive 32 GB sample library, in an attempt to provide practically any instrument that any arrangement might call for. Colossus even features an enormous General MIDI (GM) sound set. Overall, the quality of the sounds in this collection is very, very good." - ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN
EQ Magazine
"I like the fact that there’s no crap in this package, it’s hi-end sampling all the way – whether you choose to use the instruments or not. Colossus is not only a highly versatile plug-in for composers, it’s a deep well of inspiration for sound designers and music makers. Colossus comes highly recommended." - EQ
PC & Music Magazine
"The price of 799 Euro sounds a bit high in the beginning. However, once you realize how much you would have to spend for the individual components (instruments) and that you also get a lot of extras, it's a bargain. A colossal high-end production with all sounds for all occasions. Quality 5/5, Creativity factor 5/5, Production 5/5, Booklet 5/5, Overall 5/5" - PC & MUSIC

ABOUT RECEPTOR HARDWARE VST PLUG-IN PLAYER
“A quality piece of gear that is both deep and straight-forward… simplicity, efficiency and reliability sing a real siren song with live performance, and for these reasons, as well as the thoughtfulness with which the package is put together Receptor receives our Key Buy Award” - KEYBOARD MAGAZINE (KEY BUY AWARD)
“This feels like a module many of us have been waiting for… a very deep and powerful device…in all ways, Receptor is a winner…Receptor may be the most testing temptation our credit cards have experienced for some time." - SOUND ON SOUND MAGAZINE
“Receptor’s multi-channel design, GUI, and flexibility in setting up its front panel controls make it an excellent live-performance virtual-instrument and DSP host. …a clear advance in multisynth and multi-effects hardware” - ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN MAGAZINE
"Like a computer without all the drama…reliability, compared to a Laptop, is greatly increased…easier to use than most hardware synths and infinitely more versatile…a very good idea that functions exactly as promised” - AUDIO TECHNOLOGY MAGAZINE
“We love the Receptor and it's made our lives so much easier… Receptor has been a dream for us. I've replaced racks of keyboard modules and samplers with a two-space unit that does far more than the rack it replaced." - Billy Bush GARBAGE
It is, simply, the power of my studio in a portable live package. I absolutely could not do a show without the two Receptors that are in my rig. Anything less would be a giant step backwards!” - Terry Lawless, Programmer and keyboardist, U2
Remarkably low latency designed for live performance (use with or without a computer)
Stunning 24-bit pro-grade audio I/O including 8-channel ADAT output and S/PDIF I/O
Super-stable, highly optimized Linux operating system for worry-free operation
Designed for use in a studio network, so you can add more units to get more polyphony, and control them all from one central computer system (Mac or PC, laptop or desktop)
Fast performance for high-polyphony and minimal choking under high CPU load.
UniWire™ allows you to stack several Receptors together, creating a “distributed-processing” network of systems where all the MIDI and all the audio pass over the Ethernet network and back to your computer. It’s as if your computer became instantly expandable. Need more voices? Just add another Receptor!
Easy to use. Just turn RECEPTOR on, dial up a VST plug-in, and start making music. Optimized for live performance, RECEPTOR will amaze you with lightning fast MIDI response.
Designed for musicians on the go. From its super quiet operation in the studio to its rugged rack mount enclosure, RECEPTOR is a tool designed to help you get your act together and then take it on the road.
Incredibly versatile. RECEPTOR runs software synths, guitar processors, and audio effects, essentially working as three products in one. And you can use it stand-alone, or control it from your computer via Ethernet, or connect a local keyboard, mouse and monitor.
RECEPTOR is a 2U rack-mountable multi-timbral sound and effects module that runs standard VST instruments and effects. It combines the power of a computer with the ease-of-use, portability and reliability of dedicated synth and effects hardware.
RECEPTOR FRONT PANEL
RECEPTOR's intuitive, mixer-like architecture combines up to 16 different audio sources, which can be either internal VSTi instruments or external analog/digital inputs. Each source is then routed through its own inline effects matrix that allows three VST plugins to be configured in every possible parallel/series arrangement. From there, each source is sent to a dedicated mixer channel, where the sound can be further processed by sending it to two dedicated effects busses, each with another fully configurable VST effects matrix. Need more processing? There is yet another VST effects matrix on the master output, for mastering and sweetening effects.
MUSE CONTROL INTERFACE FOR RECEPTOR
In all, RECEPTOR provides architectural support for as many as 16 simultaneous VSTi instruments and 57 VST effects, while further offering the ability to process external inputs using its front-panel high-Z input, its rear-panel balanced analog inputs, or its S/PDIF digital input.
And, all this effects power can be harnessed through RECEPTOR's intuitive front-panel interface, with full front panel and MIDI access to millions of internal patch locations. For those who prefer mice to buttons, you can connect a mouse, keyboard and monitor directly to RECEPTOR, or you can network it to your Mac or PC and control it remotely from a window on that machine.
In the studio, the computing requirements of large Virtual Instruments are now handled by RECEPTOR, or multiple RECEPTORS, freeing up your computer for other tasks such as sequencing or hard disk recording.
