SETUP: Tempo Source
Rotate the top display knob to select the Tempo Source parameter. This determines whether Receptor derives
its tempo from external MIDI beat clock or whether it uses its own internal clock (set by the Tempo BPM
parameter). The Tempo Source is used by all tempo-based effects and instruments.

Rotate the bottom display knob to select between
External (MIDI)
and
Internal
. Your selection is
immediately applied -- you do not need to push the bottom display knob.
•
If you select External (MIDI) , Receptor gets its tempo from an external MIDI beat clock (such as a
sequencer) arriving at its MIDI In port. It displays that tempo on the Setup: Tempo BPM page (discussed
next), using the most recently received tempo if none is currently present at the midi input.
• If you select Internal , Receptor gets its tempo from the Tempo BPM parameter (discussed next).
The Tempo Source setting is a global parameter that applies to all patches.
SETUP: Tempo BPM
Rotate the top display knob to select the Tempo BPM parameter. If you set the Tempo Source parameter to
Internal (as discussed in the previous section), then this value determines the internal tempo in Beats Per
Minute. This tempo is used by all tempo-based effects and instruments.

III III 1 1 0
Rotate the bottom display knob to set Receptor’s internal tempo. Tempo changes happen instantly, meaning
you’re not required to push the bottom display knob to apply the change.
If the Tempo Source parameter is set to
External (MIDI)
, then the
Tempo BPM
value is displayed, but can
not be edited. If you change the tempo of the external MIDI Beat Clock, you will see the tempo change in this
window. If no MIDI Beat Clock signal is currently present, the
Tempo BPM displays the most recently received
MIDI tempo.

III III 1 4 0 ( E x t e r n a l )
The Tempo BPM setting is a global parameter that applies to all patches.
SETUP: Time Signature
Rotate the top display knob to select the Time Signature parameter. Some plugins respond to time signature
but many do not.
In general, you should set Receptor’s time signature to match the time signature of your song. Note that
changing the time signature’s denominator always has an affect on tempo. For example, if you set the Tempo
BPM to
100
at
4/4
time, then change the Time Signature to
4/8
time, the tempo will double is speed (since
you have changed the definition of a ‘beat’ from a quarter-note to an eighth-note).
