Receptor v1.2 Release Notes
This section discusses the most significant of Receptor’s v1.2 improvements, new features, and bug fixes.
Features described in this section supersede any descriptions in your Receptor v1.0 owner’s manual, and are
integrated into the most recent Receptor owner’s manual.
You may now route each Receptor channel to a specific output
Each Receptor channel has a new Output assignment button at the bottom of the mixer strip. Click the Output
button to open the Output Assignments panel. Use this panel to route any of Receptor’s 19 channels (16
instrument channels, 2 effects busses, and the master output) to any Receptor output (Analog, S/PDIF, or ADAT
pairs). In order to insure backward compatibility, Receptor, by default, routes all Instruments and effects busses
to the “Master Bus,” which is, in turn, routed to Analog 1/2, SPDIF L/R, and ADAT 1/2. Whenever you override
this default channel assignment, the Output button at the bottom of the mixer channel will become blue in color.
The new Output Assignments panel is discussed thoroughly in the “Graphic UI - Mix View” chapter of the v1.2
Receptor manual. Similarly, the Output Assignment parameter has been added to the front panel and is grouped
with the Mix parameters that appear when you click the MIX button. The front panel operation of this feature
is discussed with other MIX Button parameters in the “View Buttons in Depth” chapter in the Receptor 1.2
manual. Finally, to understand the new routing architecture, you might want to look over the new schematics
contained in the “Receptor Architecture” chapter.
New MIDI Filter Button
A new “MIDI Filter” button has replaced the old “Remap Channel” button, contained in the Source Slot of older
versions. The MIDI Filter button still opens a panel that lets you remap Receptor’s MIDI channel assignments,
but the functionality of this panel has been extended to include Note Range, Velocity Range, and Channel
Transpose settings, as discussed below.
New Note Range parameter
Receptor now allows you to set a note range for an instrument channel. This parameter, located in the new
MIDI Filter panel, will limit the range of MIDI notes to which an instrument channel responds. The Note Range
parameter is primarily used for setting keyboard split points on Receptor. The Note Range parameter is also
available on Receptor’s front panel, under the SOURCE button. To learn more about setting this parameter
graphically, see “SOURCE: MIDI Filter Button” in the “Graphic UI - MIX View” chapter in the new Receptor
v1.2 manual. Similarly, to learn about setting this parameter via the front panel, see “SOURCE: Note Range” in
the “View Buttons in Depth” chapter.
New Velocity Range parameter
Receptor now allows you to set a velocity range for an instrument channel. This parameter, located in the new
MIDI Filter panel, limits the range of MIDI velocity values to which the channel responds. The Velocity Range
parameter is used to assign certain instruments to limited velocity ranges. The Velocity Range parameter is also
available on Receptor’s front panel, under the SOURCE button. To learn more about setting this parameter
graphically, see “SOURCE: MIDI Filter Button” in the “Graphic UI - MIX View” chapter in the new Receptor
v1.2 manual. Similarly, to learn about setting this parameter via the front panel, see “SOURCE: Velocity Range”
in the “View Buttons in Depth” chapter.
