Exploring the GUI: The Setup Menu Tab
Your RECEPTOR has several system level settings that go beyond what was possible in the Mixer
Mode. These are all found in the SETUP tab on the Graphical User Interface.
Setup: Software Manager / System Tab
The Software Manager window is the "command central"
area for managing the operating system and plug-
in software on your RECEPTOR. When you open up
the window, you'll see Tabs across the top: SYSTEM,
PLUGINS, and LICENSES.
The System tab gives you the details on the current
version of system software you are running. The
System screen is also where you can turn the Multi-Core
processing support on or off.
Not all plug-ins run well in a multi-core environment, and
if you have issues with a particular plug-in, you might
want to try turning the Multi-Core support off to see if
this improves matters. Be advised however that Multi-
Core processor compatible plug-ins will esnure that you
get the maximum performance out of your RECEPTOR.
Updating your System Software
At the bottom of the System page is where you are able to check for Software updates, or install
software "fixers" that allow you to quickly and easily install new software plugins.
To update the software, you must first have a "live" Internet conection available, just like you did
when you authorized the software update.To check for updates, simply select Software Update from
the SETUP menu, and the RECEPTOR will automatically check for, download and install any relevant
software updates for the system.
Installing fixer files and new plug-ins onto your system
The software manager is also where you will install new plugins on to your Receptor. Installing
software can be done a variety of ways, but often involves downloading an installer from the www.
plugorama.com website and dropping it into Drop Installers Here just like you did when installing
this update. Brief instructions on how to install a new plugin are below:
1. . Download the file of interest from the Plugorama.com website to your computer.
2. Connect to your RECEPTOR using the Muse Tools software and open up the Hard Drive by clicking
on the "Hard Drive" on the Muse Tools interface.
3. Locate the folder on the RECEPTOR called "Drop Installers Here" and then drag and drop the
installer file (.mrpk) into the folder.
4. Go back to the RECEPTOR, click on "Install Fixer" in the Software Manager System tab page,
navigate to the Drop Installers Here folder, and then select the INSTALL button when the file is
found.
5. Follow the specific instructions that came with the particular plugin or installer to finish the
installation and authorization of the particular software.
