Receptor v1.3 Release Notes
42
Muse Research, Inc.
NEW FEATURE:
Support for developer-specific challenge/response registration
It’s now possible to use some developers’ own challenge/response applications to register Receptor plugins,
authorizing them for use on Receptor. Although a special Receptorized installer must still be downloaded
from www.plugorama.com, Receptor’s native iLok authorization is not involved and no Receptor cross-grade
is required -- rather, registration and authorization is performed using the developer’s own copy protection
method. For now, this feature is used mostly for installing some Native Instruments products, plus 3rd-party
sample libraries that are based on Native Instruments’ Kompakt or Kontakt Player -- but others will likely
follow.
The following example steps you through the process of installing and registering plugins using this feature.
East West’s Colossus is used as an example, though the method is nearly identical for any plugin that supports
this method of installation and authorization.
PART 1: Installing the Plugin
1 Download the Receptorized installer from www.plugorama.com
In this example, we’re using the Colossus installer.
2 Mount Receptor’s hard drive on your computer’s desktop, then drag the Colossus .mrpk file to Receptor’s
“Drop Installers Here” folder.
3 On Receptor’s Graphical User Interface, click the
Setup tab, then click the Install button. If using the front
panel, press the SETUP button, rotate the top display knob to the
Install/Upgrade page and press the
bottom display knob).
Sit back and relax while Receptor installs the Colossus package.
PART 2: Registering the Plugins
1
Once installation in complete, using Receptor’s Graphical User Interface, click the
Setup tab, then click the
Register Plugins button.
Note that you can only perform this operation using the Graphical User Interface.
A pop-up panel appears, listing all the plugins for which developer-specific registration applications exist.
