Using the Direct Outputs on a Synth Channel

All of the virtual instruments and effects running in your RECEPTOR feed the master stereo mix bus, and

the resultant stereo mix signal shows up on Outputs 1 and 2 of the AudioBox. You can alter the routing

of any of the audio signals in your RECEPTOR by using the INPUT and OUTPUT selector buttons found in

various places on the Graphical User Interface.

If you wish to send the output of a virtual instrument out its own output, you can do this

by clicking on the OUTPUT button on the lower right hand corner of the channel strip.

When you click on the OUPUT button, you'll see that the synth channel is set to output

its signal to the Master Bus. This allows the system to mix all of the synths together and

send the compbination of all audio signals out the main outputs of the system.

In addition, the output button gives you the option to assign that synth's output to any of

the physical outputs of the AudioBox interface. To create a "direct output" that does not

send the synth to the master outputs, simply de-select the Master Bus assignment, and

assign the synth channel to any of the physical outputs.

You can select more than one output at once, so you can have a channel go to the Master

Mix bus as well as to any or all of the physical outputs simultaneously.

Using the Direct Outputs on Audio Effect Channel

Just like a synth channel, you can alter the default routing of the output of any of the

audio input channels by clicking on the OUTPUT button on the lower right hand corner of

an audio channel. When you click on the OUTPUT button, you can select which outputs

you want the audio channel to send to, including multiple outputs .

Note that the default setting for the individual audio channel outputs is to send to the

Master Bus, which means the output is mixed together with all of the other audio and

synth channels in a combined master stereo mix. If you would prefer to have the the

results of any of the audio inputs be sent to its own independent audio output, simply

de-select the Master Bus from the output matrix, and assign it to its own physical audio

output.

Using the Input Selector on an Audio channe

The RECEPTOR combined with the AudioBox interface makes it possible to process

vocals, guitars, basses, other keyboards... anything that generates audio can be

processed through the RECEPTOR and mixed with the other virtual instruments and

effects that are currently loaded into the system.

To select an input, simply open up an audio channel, and use the drop down audio

input selector to choose one of the inputs. Note that you can select inputs individually

or in pairs for use with monoaural or stereo sources.

Note: if you use a digital input such as ADAT or S/PDIF, you MUST choose a

corresponding sample clock source of S/PDIF or ADAT from the"Audio..." menu in the

SETUP tab. Failure to do so will result in audio clicks and pops caused by errors in the

data stream. By definition, digital audio inputs must have a corresonding clock source

to keep the audio properly synchronized and free from data dropouts.

Note: If you use BOTH the ADAT and S/PDIF inputs, those two streams must be

synchronized to each other outside of the AudioBox interface by slaving one or the

other sources to the Word Clock output on the back of the unit, else data errors will

result in the form of audio pops and clicks.
