Getting Started: Downloading your update
The Receptor 2.0.1 update is a paid update. Yeah, we know, every update up to now has been
free, but the fact is this update includes OVER $900 of SOFTWARE and with tons of new features,
if anything, its a bargain. We think you will agree once you start using it. Please note that if you
already own V2.0 software, which came pre-installed on all RECEPTOR 2 products starting in March
2012, then already have all the virtual instruments and effects installed on your unit and do not
need to install those plugins, just the OS software update is necessary.
To purchase the update (and you might have done this already) visit the www.plugorama.com
website, and simply add the Version 2.0.1 Software Update for RECEPTOR 2 into your shopping
cart. Go ahead and check out, and then check your email. You will be sent an invoice for your
purchase which contains the all important sofware authorization code, along with a link to download
the update. If you own V2.0 already, you will need to contact tech support for a special download
code to download and register the update.
Downloading the updates:
The V2.0.1 update consists of TWO files. The System Software (Receptor-update-2.01.20130725),
and the accompanying plugins and presets (Plugin-bundle-2.0.1-4). This plugin preset update
is huge (about 5GB), because it includes that $900 of sofware we talked about and over 4GB of
sampled sounds. You will need a reasonably fast internet connection to download the software.
If you don't have such a connection available, then contact the factory for an alternative to
downloading the software.
Once the software is downloaded, you will need to connect to the Receptor's hard drive using the
Receptor Remote / Muse Tools utility that came with your unit. If you have lost the disc or don't
have it installed on your computer, you can download it by visiting http://www.museresearch.com/
support/updates.php.
Assuming you have the Receptor Remote Control software installed on your computer, connect
Receptor so that both your computer and your Receptor has access to the internet.
NOTE You cannot use Crossover mode to authorize the software upgrade. Receptor must have a
direct connection to the Internet in order to validate the installation!
To connect your Receptor to your computer's network, do the following:
1. Attach a standard Ethernet patch cable to the Ethernet port of your Receptor.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer network's switch or router or an open port
on your cable or DSL modem (if available).
3. Power up the Receptor and press the SETUP button. Turn the top knob until it says "TCP-IP
Setup". Turn the bottom knob until it says AUTO DHCP and then confirm that choice when it asks
"Are you sure?"
Note: Network settings require power cycling to take effect, so if you changed the network settings,
please turn off your Receptor and turn it on again to enter into AUTO DHCP mode.
4.After your Receptor reboots, verify that it is receiving a valid address by selectting SETUP and
going to the TCP/IP Address screen. Valid addresses typical start with 192 or 10. Invalid addresses
typically start with 169.
5.Once your Receptor is connected to your computer's network, you are reaady to connect to your
Receptor from your computer and install your new software.
