15 MIDI Control of Receptor’s Mixer
You can think of Receptor as a mixer with 19 channels:
•
16 Instrument channels
• 2 effects bus channels
• 1 master output channel
You can control most of the basic functions of these 19 channels using MIDI CC messages. The first question
you’ll likely ask is, “how can I control 19 Receptor channels with only 16 MIDI channels?” Glad you asked...
Each of Receptor’s 16 instrument channels “listens” to its corresponding MIDI channel: Instrument 1 responds
to MIDI channel 1, Instrument 2 responds to MIDI channel 2, and so on. This is discussed fully in “MIDI
Control of Instrument Channels” on page 182.
In addition, Effects Bus 1 also responds to controller data on MIDI channel 1, while Effects Bus 2 responds to
controller data on MIDI channel 2. This is discussed in “MIDI Control of Effects Busses” on page 183.
Finally, the Master channel responds to controller data on MIDI channel 16 as detailed in “MIDI Control of the
Master Channel” on page 184.
MIDI Fine Control: Receptor supports both “coarse” and “fine” MIDI controls. MIDI CC values between
0 -31 are used for coarse control and MIDI CC values between 32-63 are used for fine control. Keep in mind,
when you look over the following diagrams, that any controller in the 0-31 range is the MSB (coarse) value
and, as such, has a corresponding controller in the 32-63 range for fine control. For example, You can control
128 coarse volume levels by using MIDI CC 7. If you want finer control, you can use MIDI CC 7 in conjunction
with MIDI CC 39, which is the LSB (fine) controller for volume. Note that fine control can occur only through
MIDI — the graphical user interface and Receptor’s built-in knobs support only MIDI coarse control.
