Receptor Manual

Remember, you can always request a patch name report from Receptor, so you’ll always be able to see which
Receptor patches correspond to which MIDI patch change messages.

Automatic Patch Management

If you don’t have any idea what patch files you have on your computer or what plugins they’re for, Receptor can
automatically create all the necessary patch banks.
For example, if you have 6 patches laying around and don’t know what they’re for, you can create a folder,
name it something like “Stuff” and drag all the patches into it.
When you drag-and-drop this folder to Receptor’s “Drop Installers Here” folder and trigger an install (see
“Installing Patches (.fxp/.fxb) on Receptor” on page 171), Receptor looks at each patch to determine which
plugin it belongs to, and creates a new bank for each patch type in the folder. In the following illustration, you’ll
see that three different types of VST patches (3 patches for a plugin called ABC, 2 patches for a plugin called
JKL, and 1 patch for a plugin called XYZ) were in the folder sent to Receptor. So, Receptor created three new
banks (one for each patch type) and auto-named the banks (Stuff 01, Stuff 02, and Stuff 03), automatically
assigning each bank a unique MSB/LSB, alphabetizing the patches within, and providing the requisite prefix to
each patch.
