METHOD 2: Text-File Authorization -- With this method, you create a .txt file on your Mac or PC that contains

the authorization key, copy it to Receptor, and open it from within the registration/authorization window.

Specifically:

On your Mac or PC, launch a text editing application, create a new file and copy the authorization key (and
only the authorization key) to that file.

Name it something like “ColossusAuth.txt” and save it to your Mac or PC’s hard disk.

Copy that .txt file to Receptor’s My Documents folder (or other location, if you wish).

Then, in the

Authorization Key section of Receptor’s Registration/Authorization panel, click OPEN FILE,

navigate to the .txt file you just saved in My Documents, and click

OK.

The authorization key should now appear in the Registration/Authorization window.

5 Click the

COMPLETE button to finish the authorization.

METHOD 3: Paste from Clipboard (Mac only) -- If you’re using a Macintosh and the Receptor Remote

application, you can simply copy the authorization key to the Mac’s clipboard, then paste it into Receptor’s

Registration/Authorization panel directly from the Mac’s clipboard. Specifically:

1 Select the numbers in the authorization key, and choose

Edit>Copy from your browser application.

2 Switch to the Receptor Remote application and, click the first number field in the

Authorization Key section

of Receptor’s Registration/Authorization panel.

3 From the Receptor Remote

Edit menu, select Paste.

Note: you cannot use the CMD-V shortcut, you must choose Edit>Paste.

4 Once the authorization key appears in the Registration/Authorization windows, click the

COMPLETE button to

finish the authorization.

PART 4: Installing Content

Once the plugin is registered and authorized, you’ll need to copy any sample content from your master CDs

or DVDs onto Receptor’s Hard Drive. The Receptorized installer will have created a folder specifically for the

content that the plugin requires. For example, the Receptorized Colossus .mrpk will create the following folder

on Receptor’s Hard Drive:
Samples/East West/Colossus Library
To install the Colossus content, simply drag all your sample files from your master CDs or DVDs to the

appropriate content folder. See the specific instructions that accompany the Receptorized installer for your

particular plugin.

NEW FEATURE:
Lock and Unlock Patch Banks

Previous versions of Receptor had “RAM banks” and “ROM banks”. You could modify RAM banks all you

wanted, by ROM banks could not be modified or deleted in any way. In general, all factory patch banks that

shipped with Receptor were designated as ROM banks, meaning you couldn’t delete them or overwrite them.
Receptor no longer uses the “ROM” and “RAM” terminology -- rather, a bank is either “locked” or “unlocked”

and you may choose which banks are locked and which are not. This means you can now unlock a factory bank,

allowing you to write over the patches it contains. You may also unlock factory banks and delete them if you

wish. Conversely, you may now lock banks of your own creation. For example, if you created a bank of Multi

Patches for your live performance, you can lock that bank, so that you can’t accidentally delete it or modify

it. When a bank or patch name appears in , it means the bank (or the bank to which the patch

belongs) is locked.
