You may route channels to as many outputs as you like. When you route a channel to the Master bus, it’s
output signal appears on the output(s) assigned to the Master Channel. When you route a channel directly to
a hardware output, its signal appears at that output, along with any other signals you may have routed to that
output. As you can tell, the Output Assignment option allows for very flexible routing and bussing, both on
stage and in the studio.
NOTE 1: The analog (Anlg) and ADAT 1-2 (AN12) outputs are duplicated on Receptor. So, if you turn one on
or off, the other will automatically turn on or off.
NOTE 2: The Mstr option is not available on the Master (M) channel since, obviously, you cannot assign the
output of a channel to itself. Also, Anlg and AD12 cannot be disabled for the Master (M) channel -- the Master
channel signal always appears at these two outputs.
SETUP Button
Setup parameters are used to make global changes to Receptor. Setup parameters affect such areas as global
tempo, transpose, and time signature settings; digital clock source and analog input level settings; and network
configuration settings.
SETUP: Channel Status
Rotate the top display knob to select the
Channel Status
screen. This screen shows you, at a glance, which
channels have instantiated plugins and if any channels are currently soloed or muted.

The bottom row of the LCD may appear a bit cryptic at first, but it’s really quite useful. Essentially, it contains
19 characters that, from left-to-right, display the status for each of Receptor’s 19 channels (first the 16
instrument channels, followed by the 2 effects busses, and finally the master output channel).
Specifically:
•
If a channel has one or more plugins instantiated, its number is shown in the LCD (see “Channel Status
Numbering Guide” on page 60 to learn the numbering methodology).
• If a channel has no instantiated plugins, it’s indicated by a dot.
• If a channel is currently muted, a small letter “m” flashes alternated with the channel number.
• If a channel is currently soloed, a small letter “s” flashes alternated with the channel number.
Look at the following LCD screen as an example:
S U C h a n n e l S t a t u s >
III III 1 m • • 5 • • • • • A • • • • • 1 • M
This tells us that plugins are instantiated on instrument channels 1, 2, 5, 11 as well as on effects bus 1 and the
master output channel. Channel 2 is flashing the letter ‘m’, so we know that instrument channel 2 is currently
muted.
