B. If an LCD is not available, connect a USB or PS2 keyboard for "blind" activation (Not recommended, but
possible)
If you do not have a mouse, monitor and keyboard attached, you can still authorize the software using
just a keyboard connected to the Receptor. This is done "blind" since you can't verify the authorization
code as you enter it (which is why we don't recommend this method). To authorize the software in
this manner, simply connect the USB or PS2 keyboard to the Receptor, verify that the LCD display of the
Receptor says "Rack Mode Not Authorized" and then CAREFULLY type in the authorization code EXACTLY
as it appears on your receipt. Hit "Return" on your keyboard when you have entered the code, and if the
LCD screen changes to "Starting up" then you have successfully authorized the system. If the screen
remains as it was, the code was wrong (or you are not connected to the Internet) and you can try to enter
the code again. You must type in the code exactly as it appears on the receipt, and you must hit
"return" after entering in all the digits.
5. Now that Version 2.0.1 is authorized, you are ready to install the plugins and presets into your system.
Repeat Steps 1,2, and 3 above using the file "Plugin-bundle", but there is no need to authorize
this file.
New Front Panel Button Layout for Version 2.0.1 Software
Your new software has a different button layout than before. This is because the new SOUNDFINDER
interface emphasizes the easy selection of presets on what is called the PLAY level. The PLAY level is
really the new Rack-mode interface's "home screen" which lets you select presets that you've created
without having to do anything but turn a knob and push the encoder to load it.
The simple turth is that this button layout is radically different than the mixer mode button layout, and
that's because the user-interfaces are completely different! You will be sent a sticker in the mail with the
new button layout that you can place on the front panel of your Receptor to make it easier to remember
the new button functions, but in the meantime, below is a chart that shows the new button names.
Its best not to compare the old and new, as they bear little resemblance to each other. If you want to keep
things in perspective, you can think of the button set "philosophies" this way:
Mixer Mode: Left hand side of buttons next to the encoders is for preset selection, either on the Single
Channel or Multi (entire mixer) level. The rest of the top row depicts the signal flow throught the mixer,
from source, through three effects and on to the mixer. Remainder of the bottom row is for editing,
saving/organizing presets, and viewing the meter function.
Rack Mode: Most common buttons, including the default PLAY MODE are on the left hand side next to
the encoders. Next column allows you to select the upper or lower section of the rack (top section is
Synths, bottom section is for effects). Next column lets you select the slot or channel for that synth or
effect, moving up or down through the virtual rack. Next button column is for general setup and editing
or saving of presets. Far right hand column of buttons are used to increment or decrement through any
presets in a Tag.
