Receptor Manual

FX: Bypass

Rotate the top display knob to select the

Bypass

parameter. Bypassing an effect mutes it and releases the CPU

resources required to run it. Bypass is useful for comparing an effected sound to the un-effected sound. It’s also
useful whenever Receptor’s CPU resources are maxed out and you want to disable a particular plugin.

A > B > C

There are four options:

A > B > C

- This is the default routing. It’s a series connection in which the output of FX A feeds the

input of FX B, whose output feeds the input of FX C. It’s the mode used by nearly every mixing console
and is the most familiar to musicians. If your effect chain isn’t giving you the results you expect, you’re
probably not using the A > B > C effect routing. If an effect is unassigned, it is simply short-circuited.

A / B / C

- This is a parallel routing, in which FX A, B, and C receive dry feeds and process them

independently. This can drastically alter the sound of the effects chain. Note that, unlike a series connection,
unassigned parallel effects are open-circuited so they do not pass unfiltered signal to the output of the chain.

A / B > C

- This is a combination series/parallel routing in which the signal is split before being sent to

FX A and FX B. The output of FX B runs into the input of FX C, and the output of FX C is then combined
with FX A. Again, this can substantially alter the sound of the effects chain.

A > B / C

- This is a combination series/parallel routing in which the signal is split before being sent to

FX A and FX C. The output of FX A runs into the input of FX B, and the output of FX B is then combined
with FX C. Again, this can alter the sound of the effects chain. Feel free to experiment.

Rotate the bottom display knob to choose between the four effect routings. The routing flashes indicating you
must press the bottom display knob to actually load the effect routing.

FX: Switch

Rotate the top display knob to select the

Switch

parameter. Use the Switch parameter to change the order of the

three insert effects.
