Using the Direct Outputs on a Synth Channel
All of the virtual instruments and effects running in your RECEPTOR feed the master stereo mix bus, and
the resultant stereo mix signal shows up on Outputs 1 and 2 of the AudioBox. You can alter the routing
of any of the audio signals in your RECEPTOR by using the INPUT and OUTPUT selector buttons found in
various places on the Graphical User Interface.
If you wish to send the output of a virtual instrument out its own output, you can do
this by clicking on the OUTPUT button on the lower right hand corner of the channel
strip.
When you click on the OUTPUT button, you'll see that the synth channel is set to
output its signal to the Master Bus. This allows the system to mix all of the synths
together and send the compbination of all audio signals out the main outputs of the
system.
In addition, the output button gives you the option to assign that synth's output to
any of the physical outputs of the AudioBox interface. To create a "direct output"
that does not send the synth to the master outputs, simply de-select the Master Bus
assignment, and assign the synth channel to any of the physical outputs.
You can select more than one output at once, so you can have a channel go to the Master Mix bus as well
as to any or all of the other physical outputs simultaneously.
Using the Direct Outputs on Audio Effect Channel
Just like a synth channel, you can alter the default routing of the output of any of the
audio input channels by clicking on the OUTPUT button on the lower right hand corner
of an audio channel. When you click on the OUTPUT button, you can select which
outputs you want the audio channel to send to, including multiple outputs .
Note that the default setting for the individual audio channel outputs is to send to the
Master Bus, which means the output is mixed together with all of the other audio and
synth channels in a combined master stereo mix. If you would prefer to have the the
results of any of the audio inputs be sent to its own independent audio output, simply
de-select the Master Bus from the output matrix, and assign it to its own physical
audio output.
Using the Input Selector on an Audio channe l
The RECEPTOR rack mode interface makes it
possible to process vocals, guitars, basses, other
keyboards... anything that generates audio can
be processed through the RECEPTOR and mixed
with the other virtual instruments and effects
that are currently loaded into the system.
To select an input, simply open up an audio
channel, and use the drop down audio input
selector to choose one of the inputs. Note that
you can select inputs individually or in pairs for
use with monoaural or stereo sources.
Note: if you use the S/PDIF input, you MUST choose S/PDIF external clock option from the"Audio..."
menu in the SETUP tab. Failure to do so will result in audio clicks and pops caused by errors in the data
stream. By definition, digital audio inputs must have a corresonding clock source to keep the audio
properly synchronized and free from data dropouts.
