Under the Hood
Receptor is housed in a standard dual unit rack mount enclosure. Inside is a 40 GB hard disk and 256MB of
PC2700 DDR RAM (user-expandable to 2 GB).
SAMPLER USERS: If you plan to employ sampler plugins, and you use large numbers of samples or large
sample libraries with Receptor, you will definitely want to increase the amount of RAM in the unit. You have the
following options:
•
Add one stick of 256MB DDR PC2700 RAM for a total of 512 MB
• Add on stick of 512 MB DDR PC2700 RAM for a total of 768 MB
• Add one stick of 1 GB DDR PC2700 RAM for a total of 1256 MB
• If you wish to increase RAM beyond 1256 MB, remove the existing 256 MB module and replace it with a
higher capacity stick (up to 1 GB), for a maximum of 2 GB total RAM.
