Muse Research Receptor v1.7 Release Notes - Manual (Page 17)

Receptor v1.6 Release Notes 17 Muse Research, Inc.
5 Using Kontakt 2’s own Load/Save menu, select New instrument bank from list > 05 - Organs and
Harpsichord > All Organs and Harpsichord.nkb.
This loads a bank full of Organ and Harpsichord patches into Kontakt.
6 Make sure Kontakt is responding to some MIDI channel other than 16.
Remember, in Step 2 you told Receptor to use Ch 16 for its own internal program changes, so this channel is reserved
for sending program change messages to Receptor’s Mixer.
7 Send MIDI Program Change messages from your keyboard to Receptor.
Note that Kontakt 2’s internal patches change accordingly, allowing you to audition all the patches in this bank using
MIDI Program Changes.
New Feature: Support for Plugins with Built-in Sequencers
Some plugins (such as Native Instruments’ Reaktor) contain built-in “groove oriented” sequencers. On a
computer, these built-in sequencers are designed to start and stop with the transport controls in your host
sequencer, but Receptor doesn’t have a transport control.
Prior to version 1.6, there was no way to remotely start or stop a plugin that contained an embedded sequencer
(unless you were using UniWire). Now, as of version 1.6, plugins running on Receptor will respond to MIDI
start, stop, and continue messages, meaning you can start, stop, and sync these groove oriented plugins over
MIDI.
So, if Receptor’s Tempo Source parameter (in the MIDI section of the Setup page) is set to External-
MIDI, then Receptor will receive MIDI start/stop/continue messages and pass those to plugins with built-in
sequencers. If Receptor’s Tempo Source parameter is set to External-UniWire, then any groove-oriented
plugins are started and stopped using your host sequencer’s transport controls.
