The Muse Research Receptor 2 can be seen in Matt Bellamy's rig for the Black Holes and Revelations tour.

In MusicRadar's interview with Depeche Mode's techs on the Delta Machines tour it was revealed that ""Sample wise we're using Native Instruments Kontakt and Massive a lot too. We're also using a lot of GMedia ImpOSCar and Synthogy Ivory for pianos too. There are some sounds you can't get with the synths, so we use the samples for those, but there's a lot we can do and we try to use the synths as much as possible. Stripped is a good example of that. The big lead sound is Massive and ImpOSCar all layered up to create that main riff sound." Martin is strictly using software when he puts his guitars down for older material, he has a Roland Edirol controller as well as an Access Virus both commanding Muse Receptors with various plugins loaded.

"My plan is to take the [Muse Research] Receptor. I’m not quite sure how it’s going to work out. As I mentioned, I used a lot of the Spectrasonics Omnisphere on this album, and so I wanted to just run all that off the Receptor, and I think the Muse guys are very close to having the receptor working with Omnisphere. But as of this day when we’re doing this interview, it’s not there yet, and as you know I’m hitting the road really soon. So I’ve had to take a slightly different path. When they get that working, then I’ll see where I’m at with my tour and figure out what I’m going to do."

Derek lists this piece of gear on his website.

“The Muse Receptor has become an integral part of the live setup. We’ve got five of those on stage, plus more in the studio. Basically, they allow you to take anything from the studio and put it in front of a live audience without it feeling like you’re just playing along to backing tracks.”

In an interview with DM's road crew during the Delta Machines tour keyboard tech Paul Eastman told MusicRadar "This is Fletch's rig. He does a lot of the baselines off the Virus Polar here. And then there are two Edirol PCR-800 controllers, each of which triggers one the Receptors. There are two Receptors per player, and each is doing the same thing. They're pretty standard Edirol controllers but they're very good. He generally plays on this one and the other is the backup. If there are any problems he can just play the other one and the backup Receptor." Detailed pictures of Fletch's Virus, Edirol controllers and Receptors (with his name stamped right on his 2 Receptor racks) are included in the body of the article.

The Muse Research website includes A Flock of Seagulls in the list of artists who use the Muse Receptor, and features comments from Mike Score.

"My main 88 key controller is the Nord Stage EX which is controlling a MUSE Receptor running Native Instruments' Komplete 8, and very specifically the Acoustic Piano & Electric Piano samples in Kontakt. I've found that these are the best sounding sets for what I'm doing with Wilco. I've got a Moog Multipedal to control some virtual effects like reverb sends, Wurly tremelo amount, and sending the piano through a leslie simulator."

"I started our tour using a Receptor for organ sounds and some samples we use live. We've since added another unit running Ivory for piano sounds, which is really nice. We're really pleased with our Receptors and Muse Research has amazing tech support; they actually pick up the phone when you have a question!"
