Editing Virtual Instruments or Effects
The virtual instruments and effects in RECEPTOR are intended to be edited from their Graphical
User Interfaces which you can see when you connect an LCD monitor to your RECEPTOR, or when
you use the RECEPTOR Remote software with your Mac or PC through a network.
However, you can edit some of the key parameters on a plugin from the front panel by pressing
the EDIT button. The EDIT mode lets you adjust up to eight pre-defined editable parameters per
virtual instrument or effect.
To edit a virtual instrument or effect, first you need to select the channel you want to edit. You do
this by simply pressing the SYNTH or EFFECT button and then selecting the channel you want to
edit using the Channel + and Channel - buttons.
In the case of MusePlayer, the default sound generating plugin in RECEPTOR, the parameters you
can adjust are:
1. Amplitude Envelope Attack 5. Master Filter Cutoff Frequency
2. Amplitude Envelope Decay 6. Master Filter Resonance
3. Amplitude Envelope Sustain 7. Filter Cutoff
4. Amplitude Envelope Release 8. Filter Q
MIDI Learn and Editable Parameters
RECEPTOR supports "MIDI Learn" which allows you to assign various MIDI-controllable parameters
to various MIDI continuous controllers. This feature requires you to use the Graphical User Interface
and is easier to show than to explain, so please view our online videos for more information.
Many of the virtual instruments and effects that come in your RECEPTOR have pre-assigned
editable parameters, which are accessed by selecting a channel, and pressing the EDIT button.
Even if these parameters are not pre-assigned, you can make your own assignments by using the
MIDI learn function, assuming the plug-in supports MIDI learning (some don't). The first eight
parameters that are assigned using the MIDI Learn function show up as the first eight parameters
in when the EDIT button is lit on each synth or effect channel.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MIDI LEARN: MIDI learn is able to do what it does because virtual
instruments and effects "publish" the parameters of the plugin, which allows them to be associated
with controllers inside Receptor. Not all plugins publish their parameters, and if a parameter is not
published, then the plugin cannot be "learned" via MIDI. Please consult the user manual for the
plugins you are using to determine whether or not the publish their parameters so as to support
MIDI learn inside Receptor.
