EDIT Button
One of the many advantages of VST plugins is that each plugin can have a unique graphical interface to make
editing easy. Receptor supports graphical plugin editing via its built-in keyboard, mouse, and monitor inputs
(discussed in the “Graphic Editor” section on page 85) or by remote computer control (discussed in “Remote
Control of Receptor” on page 174). However, there may be times when you may want to “tweak” a patch via
Receptor’s front panel. This is what Edit Mode is for.
Each plugin that ships with Receptor has a factory-determined collection of parameters assigned to appear on
the front panel when you enter Edit Mode. In addition, Receptor supports direct editing of up to 4 parameters
using the four dedicated soft knobs on the front panel. Think of this almost like having a small built-in MIDI
control surface!
Using Receptor’s graphical UI, you can change those factory defaults: adding, removing, or rearranging the
parameters that appear on the front panel (see “Learn Mode” on page 113 to learn how).
Like all of Receptor’s Modifier buttons, the EDIT button works in conjunction with one of the View buttons.
For example, if you want to edit a synthesizer plugin assigned to the SOURCE slot on Channel 5, you would:
1 Press SOURCE.
This tells Receptor you want to edit a VSTi plugin.
2 Press the top display knob to enter Channel Select Mode, then rotate it to select Channel 05. Press it again
to exit Channel Select Mode.
This tells Receptor that you want to edit the VSTi assigned to Channel 5.
3 Press EDIT.
This puts Receptor into Edit Mode.
You can exit Edit Mode at any time by simply pressing the EDIT button again to turn it off.
The parameters available in Edit Mode depend completely on the type of plugin or patch you’re editing.
However, all patches are edited using an identical methodology.
EDIT: <Parameter>
Receptor can define, for each plugin, which parameters should be displayed on the front panel and in what
order they should be displayed (as discussed in “Learn Mode” on page 113). These parameters appear whenever
Receptor is in Edit mode and is set to view an instantiated Source or FX.

Rotate the top display knob to scroll through the list of parameters. Rotate the bottom knob to change the value
of the indicated parameter.
NOTE: Parameter editing exists only for VST effects and instruments. If you press EDIT when the SINGLE,
MULTI, or MIX buttons are lit, you’ll see that Edit Mode is not available.
EDIT: Using the Soft Knobs
By default, Receptor assigns the first four parameters to the four soft knobs on the front panel. For example, an
“analog” synth plugin might have its first four parameters assigned to:
•
Frequency
• Resonance
• Attack
• Release
