A few years ago I bought a Muse Receptor along with Colussus,B4, and Kontakt 2. I had non obsolescense and pristine sound on my mind. Unfortunately, I didn't realize what a learning curve was ahead of me. I could use the B4'2 fine but the instruments in Kontakt were great but I couldn't figure out how to apply articulations, including delayed modulation convincingly. My Receptor has very few hours on it. I hate it that I was wrong and spent the money. OTOH, I think I will get back to it one day.

I just received an e-mail from NI that their software, including upgrades, is 50% off in June. The improvements in Kontakt 4 vs Kontact 2 is incredible, and includes new tools for articulation. I can get an upgrade for $75.

What do you think ?
