As seen in the previous figure, Faceless Mode parameter elements are:
•
Parameter Name - By default, this displays the name of the parameter as provided by the VST plugin.
Note than not every plugin developer names all of their parameters. You can rename this parameter by
1) clicking it, 2) typing a new name, and 3) pressing the Enter/Return key. When a parameter has been
renamed, it is shown in italics and is automatically assigned to the front panel. Should you wish to return
to the original parameter name, then click the Parameter name button again, delete all the custom text, and
press Enter/Return.
• Parameter Value - Shows the actual value of the selected parameter (as set by the Value Fader).
• Parameter Units - Shows the unit value for the parameter. Note that not all VST plugins provide parameter
unit values.
• Value Fader - Drag left and right to modify the parameter value.
• Assign button - Click this button to assign the parameter to Receptor’s front panel. Any parameter assigned
to Receptor’s front panel is also available for remote MIDI control. You can assign up to 128 parameters
per plugin to Receptor’s front panel.
• Order display and button - When you assign parameters to Receptor’s front panel, they’re assigned
sequentially. For example, if parameters 1-5 are already assigned and you click the Assign button for a new
parameter, it’s automatically assigned as parameter #6. The number of the parameter determines its display
order in Receptor. So, in this case, parameter #6 would be the sixth parameter you would scroll to when
editing from Receptor’s front panel.
Obviously, you may want to rearrange the display order of parameters, placing the most important numbers
higher in the list. This is discussed in “Reordering Parameters” on page 115.
By default, the first four parameters are assigned to the four soft knobs on Receptor’s front panel. To learn
more about knob assignments, see “Knob Assignments” on page 116.
• MIDI Control display - Receptor automatically assigns a MIDI Non Registered Parameter Number
(NRPN) to the first 4096 parameters of any Source VSTi, or to the first 2048 parameters of an FX VST.
Use NRPN values to remotely control each associated parameter from an external hardware controller
or sequencer. The MIDI Control display shows the MIDI NRPN value required to modify each plugin
parameter. Each MIDI message takes on the following form:
Bn 63 mm Bn 62 ll
where:
Bn = ‘B’ is the control change, ‘n’ is the MIDI channel (0-15)
63 = This tells Receptor that the next byte is the MSB of an NRPN
mm = This is the MSB of the NRPN
Bn = ‘B’ is the control change, ‘n’ is the MIDI channel (0-15)
62 = This tells Receptor that the next byte is the LSB of an NRPN
ll = This is the LSB of the NRPN
For more information about MIDI control of Receptor’s plugin parameters, see Chapter 17, “MIDI Control
of Plugin Parameters.”
Learn Mode
Muse Research ships each Receptor plugin with a default set of parameters assigned to the front panel and to
MIDI control. The easiest way to overwrite these factory defaults is by entering LEARN MODE, which lets
you quickly assign (or un-assign) any plugin parameter to Receptor’s front panel. Assigning a parameter to
the front panel also makes it available for remote MIDI control, meaning you can edit the parameter using a
programmable fader box or automate it with an external sequencer.
