SETUP View - Audio Parameters
Master Sample Rate
Use this parameter to set Receptor’s default master clock rate. You can select between the following rates:
•
44.1 kHz
• 48 kHz
• 96 kHz
Receptor defaults to 44.1 kHz, which is the standard “CD quality” sample rate. Choosing higher raters
may result in slightly better fidelity, but will make greater demands on Receptor’s CPU, resulting in fewer
simultaneous plugins and reduced polyphony. Also, be aware that not all plugins are designed to operate at
higher sampler rates.
Sample Clock Source
Use this parameter to tell Receptor whether to use its own internal digital clock or slave to an incoming SPDIF
clock (if present).
Sample Buffer Size
Setting smaller buffer sizes will result in very low latencies, meaning Receptor will be extremely responsive to
your playing. The trade-off (there’s always one, isn’t there?) is that you will be able to instantiate fewer plugins.
If you want to instantiate more plugins, or some particularly CPU-intensive plugins, you will need to set the
buffer size to a higher value. Set the Buffer Size to the value that best suits your needs.
SETUP View — MIDI Parameters
Use this set of parameters to tell Receptor how to respond to and work with external MIDI sequencers and
controllers.
Master Transpose
Use this global parameter to transpose Receptor up or down 1 full octave (in semitone steps). The Master
Transpose setting is saved with a Multi patch.
Tempo Source
This parameter determines whether Receptor derives its tempo from external MIDI beat clock or whether it uses
its own internal clock (set by the Tempo parameter). The Tempo Source is used by all tempo-based effects and
instruments. Your choices are
•
External: Receptor gets its tempo from an external MIDI beat clock (such as a sequencer) arriving at its
MIDI In port. It displays that tempo in the Tempo field (discussed next), using the most recently received
tempo if none is currently present at the midi input.
• Internal: Receptor gets its tempo from the Tempo parameter (discussed next).
The Tempo Source is a global parameter that applies to all Receptor patches.
