FX: Bypass
Rotate the top display knob to select the
Bypass
parameter. Bypassing an effect mutes it and releases the CPU
resources required to run it. Bypass is useful for comparing an effected sound to the un-effected sound. It’s also
useful whenever Receptor’s CPU resources are maxed out and you want to disable a particular plugin.

A > B > C
There are four options:
•
A > B > C
- This is the default routing. It’s a series connection in which the output of FX A feeds the
input of FX B, whose output feeds the input of FX C. It’s the mode used by nearly every mixing console
and is the most familiar to musicians. If your effect chain isn’t giving you the results you expect, you’re
probably not using the A > B > C effect routing. If an effect is unassigned, it is simply short-circuited.
•
A / B / C
- This is a parallel routing, in which FX A, B, and C receive dry feeds and process them
independently. This can drastically alter the sound of the effects chain. Note that, unlike a series connection,
unassigned parallel effects are open-circuited so they do not pass unfiltered signal to the output of the chain.
•
A / B > C
- This is a combination series/parallel routing in which the signal is split before being sent to
FX A and FX B. The output of FX B runs into the input of FX C, and the output of FX C is then combined
with FX A. Again, this can substantially alter the sound of the effects chain.
•
A > B / C
- This is a combination series/parallel routing in which the signal is split before being sent to
FX A and FX C. The output of FX A runs into the input of FX B, and the output of FX B is then combined
with FX C. Again, this can alter the sound of the effects chain. Feel free to experiment.
Rotate the bottom display knob to choose between the four effect routings. The routing flashes indicating you
must press the bottom display knob to actually load the effect routing.
FX: Switch
Rotate the top display knob to select the
Switch
parameter. Use the Switch parameter to change the order of the
three insert effects.
