7: Graphic UI - Mix View 96 Receptor Manual
If you wish to limit the number of plugins in the list, you can view only those plugins of a particular type.
Click the “View plugin type” menu to select whether you want to see all available plugins, or just those from a
particular manufacturer. You can also choose to view only the available audio inputs. If more than 128 plugins
are currently available, then NEXT PAGE and PREVIOUS PAGE icons will appear at the bottom of the Plugin
Select panel. Use these to view the next or previous set of 128 plugins.
Some plugins may have bracketed prefixes before their names. Here’s what they mean:
•
[##] - This means that a demo version of the plugin is currently installed and that, by instantiating it, you
will activate its demo period.
• [nn] - In this case, nn = some number, such as 17, or 03, or 11. This means that the plugin is currently
running in demo mode and this prefix shows you how many days remain in your demo period.
• [--] - This means that the installed plugin must be purchased in order to be instantiated. You will see this
symbol when a demo period has expired or if no demo is available for a particular plugin. Also, when you
turn on Receptor, your iLok is scanned for licenses after the unit starts up. Because of this, it’s possible that
plugins you have purchased will display the [--] prefix for the first couple of minutes. Don’t worry. Your
purchased premium plugins will still instantiate if selected. It just takes a couple of minutes for Receptor to
scan all the plugins and update their prefix display, which it does in the background so that Receptor will
start up as quickly as possible.
• [??] - This means that an error is preventing you from instantiating this plugin. In most cases, it appears
because the iLok is not inserted into Receptor properly.
• [XX] - This means that the plugin is no longer on Receptor’s hard drive. Obviously, this will only appear if
you have loaded a Single or Multi patch that references a plugin no longer on Receptor.
• No Prefix - If there is no prefix before a plugin name, that means it’s either a free plugin or a premium
plugin that you have purchased.
Source: Bank Selector
The Bank selector is available only if you selected a VSTi in the Plugin selector. It will not appear if you select
an audio input for the source.
Click the Bank Selector to open the Load Panel to its Bank List view. The bank you select determines the list of
patches that appear in the Load Panel’s Patch List.
In general, select the desired bank from the Load Panel, then click the Load Panel’s Patch tab to select a patch to
load from within that bank. For detailed information about loading banks and patches, see Chapter 10, “Graphic
UI - Loading Patches”.
SHORTCUT: When the Load Panel is open, press CTL-TAB to switch back and forth between the Bank and
Patch tabs without using the mouse.
Source: Patch Selector
The Patch selector is available only if you selected a VSTi in the Plugin selector. It will not appear if you select
an audio input for the source.
Click the Patch selector to open the Load Panel to its Patch List view. The Patch List contains the names and
numbers of all 128 patches stored within the current bank.
In general, select the desired patch from the Patch List and close the Load Panel when you’re finished. For
detailed information about loading banks and patches, see Chapter 10, “Graphic UI - Loading Patches”.
The patch selector shows the name of the current patch. If a patch has been modified since it was loaded from
disk, its name is italicized.
SHORTCUT: When the Load Panel is open, press CTL-TAB to switch back and forth between the Bank and
Patch tabs without using the mouse.
