The following examples may help you better understand the correlation between Receptor and the Listen to
MIDI Channel and Play Plugin MIDI Channel settings.
--- Remapping Examples ---
The previous figure shows three different Instrument Channels, numbers 5-7. Each Instrument Channel has an
identical multitimbral VSTi instantiated as its Source. Let’s look at the three examples one-at-a-time:
•
Instrument Channel 5: This Instrument Channel is using the default values for both the LISTEN TO and
PLUGIN CH options. In this example, any note and performance data that Receptor “hears” on MIDI
CH 5 will be used to play the VSTi (as set by the LISTEN TO parameter). Similarly, any MIDI data
arriving on MIDI CH 5 will also be used to control the Instrument Channel’s mixer parameters. Because the
multitimbral VSTi is being told to use Ch 1 (the PLUGIN CH parameter), a Cello sound is actually heard.
• Instrument Channel 6: This Instrument Channel is using the default PLUGIN CH value and a custom
LISTEN TO value. In this example, any note and performance data that Receptor “hears” on MIDI CH 5
will be used to play the VSTi (as set by the LISTEN TO parameter), however the Instrument Channel’s
mixer parameters are actually controlled by MIDI Channel 6 (The Instrument Channel number). Because
the multitimbral VSTi is being told to use Ch 1 (the PLUGIN CH parameter), a Cello sound is actually
heard.
• Instrument Channel 7: This Instrument Channel is using the default value LISTEN TO value and a custom
PLUGIN CH value. In this example, any note and performance data that Receptor “hears” on MIDI CH
7 will be used to play the VSTi (as set by the LISTEN TO parameter). Similarly, any MIDI data arriving
on MIDI CH 7 will also be used to control the Instrument Channel’s mixer parameters. Because the
multitimbral VSTi is being told to use Ch 3 (the PLUGIN CH parameter), a Violin sound is actually heard.
