It’s been out for a couple or three years now, and goes down well with those that use it.

Some things you should take into account

1. Controls are minimal, so make sure you have a good flexible Midi controller

2. If you wish to use it with an Arranger, make sure the arranger gives you full Midi control of all its sections

3. Not all VSTs are compatible, as they have to be modified slightly to work with Receptor. (Most of the common ones work without problems)

4. Like all computer based systems for the Pro market, it helps to know how VST, CPU, RAM and Hard Disk react together.

5. Most of the big VST manufactures have packages that work with Receptor. (As an example Native Instruments Komplete 5)

6. It is not a plug and play device, but spend some time studying the manual for the Receptor, plus any other equipment you use, and you will be amazed at what you can achieve.
