13: Receptor File Management 167 Receptor Manual
My Documents
You can put any files you want into the My Documents directory. It’s yours to do with as you please. If, for
example, you want to carry your set lists, to-do lists, contacts, or lyrics with your Receptor, this is the directory
to put them into. You can set up any hierarchical file structure you wish within the My Documents directory.
Program Files
This directory contains all the various libraries and support files for every plugin on Receptor. With the
exception of the VST Plugins/Unsupported Plugins folder contained within this directory, this entire folder is
read-only. You cannot write to it. Plugin management occurs through Receptor’s own installer and de-installer
interface.
The “Unsupported Plugins” folder is a special folder that you can use to try and install Windows plugins that do
not yet have “Receptorized” versions. To learn more about this, see “Installing and De-installing “Unsupported”
Plugins” on page 171.
Register Receptor
Launch this file using the Web browser of your choice to automatically be taken through the process of online
Receptor registration.
Receptor registration is essential if you wish to receive technical support, software updates, or more plugins for
your Receptor.
You can also register manually at www.plugorama.com.
Offline Registration Form
If, for some reason, you would prefer to register via good old-fashioned hand-delivered mail, you may load this
file into your web browser, fill it out online, print it out and mail it to Muse Research.
Remote Control
This folder contains various computer-specific installers for the Receptor Remote Control application. Drag the
appropriate installer to your hard drive, double-click it, and follow the dialog-driven instructions to install it.
Once installed, Receptor Remote can be used to control Receptor’s graphical user interface directly from your
computer without plugging a dedicated keyboard, monitor, and mouse into Receptor!
This is especially handy when you take your Receptor to a live performance situation, where you may already
be taking a laptop computer to play sequencers, or other music or media software. In a live performance
situation it isn’t always practical to bring a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse just for the Receptor. Remote
Control allows you to manage your Receptor using your laptop’s trackpad/mouse, keyboard and screen, rather
than using the Receptor front panel interface. Even in a non performance environment, that is to say, at home or
work, the Receptor Remote Control application allows you to save on both desktop space as well as equipment
cost by using your existing computer’s monitor, keyboard, and mouse to control your Receptor.
Reports
The Reports directory contains the following files:
•
Patch and Bank Assignments.txt - this file contains the MSB/LSB/PGM number for every patch currently
stored in Receptor. You can open this file and see what MIDI bank/patch change numbers to send to
Receptor to recall any patch in the box.
• Patch and Bank Assignments.xml - this file is the same as the .txt version, but is presented in XML format.
