Powering these massive libraries are four individual Receptors that allow you to distribute the processing load between for optimum polyphony and of course the minimal latency that Receptor is famous for. This package has a retail value of $17,180, but for a limited time only this entire package can be purchased for just $10,999 - a savings of over 40%.

Both bundle deals feature the UniWire capabilities of Receptor, that lets you run these plug-ins on your Receptor as if they were running in your computer (Mac or PC). This "networked / distributed processing" technology is free with any Receptor and works with all of the major host programs such as Digital Performer, Logic, ProTools, Cubase, etc.

"This combination of Eastwest virtual instruments running on Receptor represents an ideal and complete music instrument for any musician," comments Stefan Leiste, VP of Sales for Eastwest. "These bundles can save you thousands of dollars and many, many hours of time since all the software comes pre-installed."
