Selecting Individual Synth Presets
PLAY mode lets you instantly select factory presets using SoundFinder, making RECEPTOR
incredibly simple to use. But what if you want to layer two sounds together, or make your own
custom preset consisting of different effects on different inputs? Well you can make your own
preset easily based on the presets that are in RECEPTOR right from the front panel. You can either
start by modifying an existing PLAY preset, or start with a blank preset and build your sound from
scratch.
To modify an existing PLAY preset, simply press the SYNTH or EFFECT buttons to select the sound
or effect you want to modify, use the CHANNEL + or CHANNEL - buttons to select the particular
sound or effect channel you want to change, and then select a different Preset for that particular
channel. This type of modification is particularly useful when you have a PLAY preset that has
both a keyboard sound and a vocal or guitar input effect working simultaneously, and you want to
change one sound or effect without changing the other.
You can also create a new preset, starting from scratch:
1. First, we want to clear out the system of any presets that are already loaded. To do this, turn the
bottom knob counter-clockwise until you see TAG: (None) and as the preset
name. Press the encoder button to load this empty preset. The display will show this:
2. Now let's select a Synth preset into one the first Synth channel. With the PLAY mode lit, we
press the SYNTH button. You'll notice it too says (Empty) and Tag: (none).
