6. Audio Outputs: This is the Left (L) and Right (R) channel output of RECEPTOR VIP for
connection to your mixer, amplifier, or powered speakers. The outputs accept 1/4" unbalanced
cables and should be connected to a high impedance input. You can adjust the output level using
the front panel volume control. The audio outputs will not drive speakers directly; you must
connect your RECEPTOR VIP to a mixer, keyboard amplifier, or amplified speakers to hear sufficient
audio volume.
7. VGA Video Monitor Output: This is where you connect a VgA computer monitor to view the
software graphical user interface of RECEPTOR VIP, as well as to see the graphical user interface
of the virtual instruments and effects that are running inside RECEPTOR VIP. You do not need to
connect it to a computer to see the software running inside RECEPTOR VIP.
8. USB 2.0 Ports: Each port will accept a standard computer mouse, computer "ASCII" keyboards
for controlling the graphical user interface of RECEPTOR VIP, as well as device-compliant USB
MIDI keyboard inputs or software license dongles such as the Pace iLok. You can attach up to 4
devices at once to these ports. The USB ports do not support external USB drives, hubs, or network
adapters at this time.
Note: "Device Compliant USB MIDI devices" are required for use with RECEPTOR VIP. All compliant
USB MIDI devices are "plug and play" devices that do not require additional drivers or software to
work. If the device requires special software to be installed, the USB MIDI hardware may still work,
but it is not guaranteed to work with RECEPTOR VIP since those types of devices are not "device
compliant."
9. Gigabit Ethernet Port: This port is used to perform software updates or to connect to a
laptop or desktop computer with an Ethernet cable. By connecting to your computer, you can view
the graphical user interface ("gUI") of your RECEPTOR VIP without having to attach a computer
monitor to #7 above. However, you must first install the RECEPTOR VIP Tools software onto your
computer (see the supplied CD-ROM). The Ethernet port and the RECEPTOR VIP Tools software
is compatible with Macs or PCs and can be used with a WiFi network. See the website for more
information about networking to your RECEPTOR VIP.
10. PS2 Ports: You can connect PS2 style keyboards or mice to these ports.
11. Cooling Fan Exhaust Port: This keeps RECEPTOR VIP running cool at all times. Please ensure
unrestricted airflow around this exhaust port to ensure that your RECEPTOR VIP performs reliably
for many years to come.
12. Serial Number Field: This is the unique identity of your particular RECEPTOR VIP. You will
need the LAST 12 DIgITS of this numberin order to register your RECEPTOR VIP on the www.
plugorama.com website. You also need this serial number to get technical support should you ever
need to contact Muse Research.
