MuseBox ™ Operating Manual
Introduction
First off, thank you for purchasing a MuseBox. We sincerely hope that it will be a great music-
making tool for you, and that it will provide you with many years of satisfaction.
MuseBox is a joint development between Peavey ® Electronics and Muse Research, Inc. It is based
on the technology developed for the Muse Research RECEPTOR hardware plug-in player. RECEPTOR
is the standard of the industry for running virtual instruments and effects live, and is used on major
concert tours, in professional music theater productions, on TV, and by composers of film and game
soundtracks. With MuseBox, Peavey and Muse Research have taken the breakthrough technology of
Receptor and made it easier to use, more compact, and more affordable.
MuseBox was designed to be an easy-to-use, comprehensive and versatile instrument and effects
processor that works in a wide variety of musical situations. MuseBox includes a large number of
sounds and effects built-in and ready to go, featuring software such as Universons MusePlayer,
Peavey ReValver HP, Wave Arts MasterVerb 4 and TrackPlug 4, ForeFront TruePianos Amber Lite,
Camel Audio Camel Phatt and Camel Space, MuVoice from MuTech, and much more.
All this software is pre-configured so that making music with it could not be easier: simply plug
it in, turn it on, and play. However, that’s just where the fun begins. You can easily create your
own custom sounds and effects with the powerful graphical user interface that you can access by
simply plugging in a mouse, monitor, and keyboard. And MuseBox is expandable using the CF card
reader slot, letting you run entirely new virtual instrument and effects, making it arguably the most
versatile music instrument or effects processor you’ve ever owned.
MuseBox has something for every musician. Here are some of the many ways you can use yours:
As the ultimate sound module for use with any MIDI keyboard or controller.
• As a mind-blowing piano module for enhancing your digital piano's sound.
• As an amazing guitar effects processor for electric or acoustic guitars.
• As a vocal processor to give your voice fullness and clarity.
• As an astounding electric bass processor-like a DI box with processing!
• As an electronic drum module for providing punchy drum sounds live or in the studio.
• As a versatile effects processor for your recording studio or P.A. system.
• As an "all-in-one" device for processing both your voice and guitar at the same time.
• As a software-expandable device that will grow with you and your music.
