Subject:Re: OT Muse Receptor & VST's?

That's logical. I haven't done any research on running plugins on a laptop,
I just wrongly assumed it would be cheaper. I guess I would only be using a
limited numberof plugins anyway (B4, ep's and ap's) so the cost wouldn't be
too prohibitive. Just as a matter of interest, does the receptor have a
switchable power supply for use in different countries, or are they specific
to their destination. The reason I ask is that it would be a lot cheaper to
ship one from the U.S. even with our crappy exchange rate.
Thanks for your info Tony.
