3 Click the BANK tab (if it’s not already selected).
At the bottom of the panel, you’ll see a newly designed New button, which contains a left half and a right half.
4 Click the right half of the New button (the part that reads “snapshot”).
The entire button will turn blue.
Note that clicking the left half of the New button lights only that half and, as such, creates a standard Multi Bank,
rather than a Snapshot Bank.
5 Type the desired Snapshot Bank name and click OK.
6 Click the PATCH tab, select a patch location, Click Save, name the snapshot, then click OK.
A new Snapshot bank has been created, as well as a new snapshot within that bank.
You can perform a similar operation from the front panel as follows:
1 Create a patch you wish to use as the starting point for a new Snapshot Bank.
2 Press the front panel’s MULTI button, then SAVE/FILE button.
3 Rotate the top display knob to select Save Multi Patch As.
4 Rotate the bottom display knob to select Bank: (NEW SNAPSHOT).

5 Press the bottom display knob to apply this selection, then follow through the on-screen guides, first
naming the bank, then saving and naming the patch.
As discussed previously, once you create a new Snapshot Bank, then any plugin or plugin parameter/patch
information you set up in the mixer will be shared by all the snapshots in that bank. Mixer settings — like
volume, pan, effects routing, bypassing, etc. — will not be shared and will be stored in the individual snapshot
patches.
Identifying Snapshots Visually
On the graphical user interface, you can distinguish snapshot banks and patches by their brown lettering. In
addition, the word “SNAP” is embossed into the Multi slot’s Bank and Patch selector buttons in Mix View. On
the front panel, notice that the word “Snapshot” appears on the top line for snapshots.
Snapshots In Use
When you jump in to a snapshot bank, Receptor will load all the plugins and patches that are saved in the
current ‘parent’ file. As you select different snapshots within that bank, only the mixer settings will change.
Thus, any of your patches will load within milliseconds.
For example, you might create a snapshot bank that contains all the plugins and patches you’ll use in a
performance. When you load a snapshot from within this Snapshot Bank, it will take a significant amount of
time to load since all the plugins are instantiated, all the parameters are set, all the samples are loaded, and all
the mix parameters are configured. After this, switching between other Snapshot Patches within this Snapshot
Bank will be nearly instantaneous.
Editing Snapshots
Any time you add, delete, or change a plugin assignment from within a Snapshot and save your changes, that
data is written to the parent file, meaning it affects all snapshots within that Snapshot Bank. If you don’t save
the edited plugin assignments, they still will affect any snapshot you recall from within that Snapshot Bank until
such time as you recall a patch from outside that bank.
