Using the Direct Outputs on a Synth Channel

All of the virtual instruments and effects running in your RECEPTOR feed the master stereo mix bus, and

the resultant stereo mix signal shows up on Outputs 1 and 2 of the AudioBox. You can alter the routing

of any of the audio signals in your RECEPTOR by using the INPUT and OUTPUT selector buttons found in

various places on the Graphical User Interface.

If you wish to send the output of a virtual instrument out its own output, you can do

this by clicking on the OUTPUT button on the lower right hand corner of the channel

strip.

When you click on the OUTPUT button, you'll see that the synth channel is set to

output its signal to the Master Bus. This allows the system to mix all of the synths

together and send the compbination of all audio signals out the main outputs of the

system.

In addition, the output button gives you the option to assign that synth's output to

any of the physical outputs of the AudioBox interface. To create a "direct output"

that does not send the synth to the master outputs, simply de-select the Master Bus

assignment, and assign the synth channel to any of the physical outputs.

You can select more than one output at once, so you can have a channel go to the Master Mix bus as well

as to any or all of the other physical outputs simultaneously.

Using the Direct Outputs on Audio Effect Channel

Just like a synth channel, you can alter the default routing of the output of any of the

audio input channels by clicking on the OUTPUT button on the lower right hand corner

of an audio channel. When you click on the OUTPUT button, you can select which

outputs you want the audio channel to send to, including multiple outputs .

Note that the default setting for the individual audio channel outputs is to send to the

Master Bus, which means the output is mixed together with all of the other audio and

synth channels in a combined master stereo mix. If you would prefer to have the the

results of any of the audio inputs be sent to its own independent audio output, simply

de-select the Master Bus from the output matrix, and assign it to its own physical

audio output.

Using the Input Selector on an Audio channe

The RECEPTOR rack mode interface makes it

possible to process vocals, guitars, basses, other

keyboards... anything that generates audio can

be processed through the RECEPTOR and mixed

with the other virtual instruments and effects

that are currently loaded into the system.

To select an input, simply open up an audio

channel, and use the drop down audio input

selector to choose one of the inputs. Note that

you can select inputs individually or in pairs for

use with monoaural or stereo sources.

Note: if you use the S/PDIF input, you MUST choose S/PDIF external clock option from the"Audio..."

menu in the SETUP tab. Failure to do so will result in audio clicks and pops caused by errors in the data

stream. By definition, digital audio inputs must have a corresonding clock source to keep the audio

properly synchronized and free from data dropouts.
