Receptor v1.3 Release Notes 48 Muse Research, Inc.
NEW FEATURE:
MIDI CC Display for Plugins
Receptor has always featured extensive MIDI control capabilities, in which plugin parameters can be controlled
either with dedicated NRPNs or with a system of dynamic MIDI CC assignments. While Receptor previously
displayed dedicated NRPN values in its graphical user interface, users were forced to consult the manual to see
MIDI CC assignments for plugins (unless they memorized them).
As described in your Receptor manual, you can use simple MIDI CC messages to control the first 16 parameters
of any source plugin and the first 4 parameters of each FX plugin. Since parameter order determines, in part,
what MIDI CC messages will control which parameters, it makes sense to display MIDI CC messages in
Receptor’s Parameter Order panel.
There is a tiny mixing of metaphors here. The actual assignment of parameters within the Parameter Order panel
is global -- meaning these parameter assignments apply to any instantiation of this plugin, no matter which slot
was used to instantiate it. MIDI CC values are, however, slot dependent (as discussed in your Receptor manual)
and will, obviously, change depending on which slot instantiates the plugin. For example, assume you set up
Classic Phaser so that following parameters appeared on the front panel in this order:
1 Spread
2 Feedback
3 Rate
4 Depth
5 Mix
6 Level
7 Stages
Every instance of Classic Phaser, no matter which slot was used to instantiate it , would use this same parameter
order, but the MIDI CC values that control these parameters change depending on the slot. So, if you open a
Parameter Order panel for Classic Phaser when it’s assigned to CH1, FXA, it looks as follows:
