13: Receptor File Management 168 Receptor Manual
• System Log -- should you ever have any unexpected trouble with Receptor, the Muse Research tech support
department will likely ask you to copy text from this file and email it to them. The System Log spits out a
steady stream of system information that Muse Research technical folks can actually understand and use to
troubleshoot your Receptor.
• System Log.txt - this contains the same information as the System Log file, but in .txt form (should your
computer be unable to read the System Log directly).
• Package List.txt - you can upload this file to plugorama.com, and you will see a list of updates available for
the plugins currently installed on your Receptor. See www.plugorama.com for more information.
Samples
Muse Research recommends that you use this directory to store any samples you wish to use in Receptor.
Technically, you can put samples anywhere in Receptor (including My Documents) as long as you tell a plugin
where to find them. However, having a dedicated Samples directory will help keep you more organized and
make your samples easier to find.
Receptor ships with a number of samples already installed in this directory. These samples are used by some of
the programs that ship with Receptor.
You have complete read/write access to the Samples directory and, as such, you can organize it however you
wish — giving it any hierarchical structure you desire.
IMPORTANT: If you delete any samples that came with Receptor then any plugin patches that reference these
samples will no longer work properly. Muse Research recommends that you do not delete any factory samples
unless you also delete any plugin patches that refer specifically to those samples.
Windows
This is a directory of support files needed by Receptor. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Registering Receptor
There are two ways to register Receptor: Automatically (using the Register Receptor.html file) or manually.
Automatic Registration
To register Receptor automatically:
1 Open the Register Receptor.html file in your browser.
The Register Receptor.html file is located on Receptor’s hard drive, which is mounted on your computer’s desktop.
2 Follow the online instructions.
Manual Registration
You can register Receptor from any computer, whether it’s connected to Receptor or not. To do so:
1 Launch your computer browser and go to http://www.plugorama.com
2 You must have a Plugorama account before you can register your Receptor. If you have never used
Plugorama, simply create a user account in the “Cart & Profile” section (right-hand column). It’s free, easy,
and necessary should you ever want to update your Receptor (and why wouldn’t you?)
3 Once you have a Plugorama.com account, simply click the Registration link in the Receptor management
area on Plugorama.com.
4 Enter the serial number of your Receptor, plus any other bits of info that Plugorama requests.
NOTE: If you prefer good old-fashioned snail mail, you can open the offline_registration_form.html in your
browser, fill it out, print it and mail it to Muse Research.
