Receptor v1.5 Release Notes

Muse Research, Inc.

• Singles

Receptor sends incoming Program Change messages to the Single Patch Bank on the Receptor channel

that corresponds numerically to the incoming MIDI channel. If you have the Program Change Channel

parameter set to ALL, then you can target different Receptor Instrument channels by changing the MIDI

channel on which you send the Program Change message. If you choose to set the Program Change

Channel parameter to just one MIDI channel, you will only be able to change Single patches on the

Receptor Instrument Channel that matches your choice.

• Sources

Receptor sends incoming Program Change messages to the Source slot on the Receptor channel that

corresponds numerically to the incoming MIDI channel. If you have the Program Change Channel

parameter set to ALL, then you can target different Source slots on different Receptor Instrument channels

by changing the MIDI channel on which you send the Program Change message. If you choose to set the

Program Change Channel parameter to just one MIDI channel, you will only be able to change patches

for the Source slot on the Receptor Instrument Channel that matches your choice.
Note that, if a channel uses an audio input for a source (rather than a VSTi), then Receptor sends the

program change message to the first instantiated FX (A, B, or C). Note, also, that these program changes go

to the Source plugin bank that’s being managed by Receptor and not the plugin’s own internal bank.

Targeting specific patch banks (without using Bank Select messages) can be particularly useful for live

performances where, for example, you may have saved all your show patches into a single Multi bank, then

wish to switch between them using a MIDI controller that sends only MIDI Program Change messages. When

sequencing or using advanced MIDI rigs, you’ll probably want to choose the Use Bank Select option, since

this will let you select any patch in any bank by using a combination of Bank Select and Program Change

messages.
Important: When you choose to Ignore Bank Select, you can select only patches within the currently active

bank because, without Bank Select messages, Receptor has no way of remotely changing banks. For example,

assume you have two banks of Multis, called “Multi Bank 1” and “Multi Bank 2,” and that you currently have

a patch loaded from “Multi Bank 2.” Any Program Change messages you send to Receptor will change patches

within “Multi Bank 2.” The only way you can select patches from Multi Bank 1 is to load a patch from that bank

using Receptor’s Graphical User Interface or Front Panel. “Multi Bank 1” will, then, be the current bank and

all subsequent Program Change messages will select patches from “Multi Bank 1.”
The Program Changes parameter is global and, as such, affects all Receptor operations—it is not saved with a

Multi patch.
To set the Program Change parameter from Receptor’s front panel:

Press the SETUP button on Receptor’s front panel.

Rotate the top display knob until the

Program Changes parameter appears on the top line.
