Getting Familiar with RECEPTOR VIP: Overview
To start, here are some general concepts about RECEPTOR VIP:
RECEPTOR VIP is a sixteen channel device. A channel can either be a "Synth" for creating sampled
or synthesized sounds in response to MIDI messages from your MIDI keyboard, or an "Effect"
channel, for processing audio from either stereo or mono analog input signals. Each Synth channel
can have a different virtual instrument program running to produce up to 16 entirely unique
sounds at once. Each Effect input channel can have a different virtual effect program running to
independently process the two incoming audio signal chains, letting you process audio in parallel for
incedibly dramatic results. . RECEPTOR VIP also has a mixer section that allows for two additional
effect programs to process any or all of the four input channels.
RECEPTOR VIP is capable of doing more than one thing at a time, which makes it truly unique! For
example, you can play an acoustic piano sound using your MIDI keyboard, and simultaneously "mix
in" and process the sounds of your keyboard's internal sounds through the inputs on the back of
the unit, supplementing the sounds of your keyboard with the sounds of RECEPTOR VIP!
Or, if you are a singer, you can plug your microphone in to your RECEPTOR VIP and take advantage
of the vocal processing capabilities it offers. It also lets you play one of the RECEPTOR VIP synth
sounds using your MIDI keyboard while processing your vocals simultaneously.
If you are a guitarist, you can process your guitar using the supplied amp-modeling and effects
processor software. And since there is a second input channel available for guitar, you can have a
friend play their guitar at the same time, or you want to sing and play guitar, you can simply plug
in a microphone and process your vocals along with your guitar!
RECEPTOR VIP is an incredibly versatile device. With a little exploration on your part, your
RECEPTOR VIP will become an indispensible musical tool, whether you're jamming with some
friends, recording an album, or playing a sold-out festival in front of thousands of screaming fans!
