Receptor v1.6 Release Notes
This section discusses the most significant of Receptor’s v1.6 improvements, new features, and bug fixes.
Features described in this section supersede any descriptions in your Receptor v1.2 owner’s manual or in
previous Release Notes.
New Feature: Automatic UniWire Enabling
Previously, if you wanted to use Receptor with UniWire, you would need to go to Setup view and manually turn
on the Enable UniWire option. Now, with the release of Receptor v1.6, you do not need to do this. Receptor
will automatically enable UniWire if you instantiate a UniWire plugin in your host sequencer (or launch a
sequence containing UniWire plugins). Similarly, if UniWire was automatically turned on in this way, it will
automatically be turned off (within 30 seconds) when all UniWire plugins are uninstantiated or the connection
is lost with the host sequencer. This makes UniWire operation even more seamless within your studio
environment.
New Feature: Send MIDI Program Changes Directly to Plugins
Receptor will now allow you to send MIDI program changes directly to Source plugins, completely bypassing
Receptor’s own, internal patch management feature. This is particularly useful, for example, when you load
a plugin that does not yet contain any “Receptorized” patches—only its own, internal patches. By using this
feature, you can tell Receptor to pass the MIDI program change information directly to the plugin rather than
using Receptor’s own methodology for managing Multi, Single, and Plugin patches.
NOTE: Not all plugins support this feature. If a plugin doesn’t support the ability to change patches via MIDI
Program Change messages, then the plugin will simply ignore those messages.
Details of this new feature are discussed in the following sections.
Route All Other Channels to Source Plugin
If, in the MIDI section of Receptor’s Setup view, you set the Receptor Program Changes Channel to anything
other than “All”, the Route All Other Channels to Source Plugin option becomes available.
Setting this to anything
other than “All”...
... causes this option to
become available.
