Exploring the GUI: Synth / Effects Selection Area
Just to the right of the Tags/Presets menu you'll see two zones labeled "Synth Plugins" and "Effects
Plugins." This is where you can chose which synth or effect to load. Each synth or effect has a small
picture and the name of the synth or effect. There are two scroll bars to the right so you can scroll
through the available synths and effects.
Main Rack Channels
In the center of the gUI is a large area that constitutes a virtual "rack" for running your virtual
instruments and effects. There can be up to 16 total "synth" or "effect" channels. There are two ways of
getting sounds and effects into a particular channel in the rack.
1. The first way you can populate the channels in the rack is to select a preset on the left and the rack
will automatically populate with the virtual instruments or effects that are associated with that preset.
To do this, go to the left hand side of the screen where you'll see a column with the heading Tags/
Presets. These are just like the Tags and Presets you see when you have the PLAY button pressed on
the front panel of your RECEPTOR VIP, except here you can see ALL the Tags and Presets at once!
Each TAg has a small Arrow that you can click to reveal all the Presets associated with that particular
Tag. To load a preset in a Tag, simply click on the preset and the preset will load.
Tip: When the contents of a Tag are displayed, you can select presets in that Tag by using the UP/
DOWN arrows on your QWERTY keyboard. This is a great way to quickly audition sounds.
Once you select a Preset, you will see the name of the preset and tag appear at the top of the center
section of the screen. This lets you know that the preset is loaded as well as what virtual instruments or
effects are associated with that preset.
2. The other way you can populate the channels in the rack is to simply drag a plugin into the rack area.
This loads the synth or effect with its default patch, at which point you can select from the individual
Tags and presets of that plugin, or select from the factory presets as well.
To clear out a channel, simply drag either that plugin out of the rack area (keeping the channel open,
which is handy for swapping out a particular sound on a channel while keeping all the MIDI and mixer
settings intact) or drag the entire channel out of the rack to delete the channel and all of its settings.
