The Difference Types of Presets in your RECEPTOR VIP
It is important to realize that there are not only different types of Tags for different purposes, but there
are also different "levels" of presets in your RECEPTOR VIP.
The PLAY level has presets that control every aspect of your RECEPTOR VIP. These presets control the
entire nature of the RECEPTOR VIP. The PLAY presets can contain several different virtual instruments
and their MIDI settings, different audio effects and their input assignments, and mixer settings along with
the mixer effects, their presets, and their routing configuration. One preset changes all aspects of the
box in one go.
A PLAY preset can / will change any/all of the following:
The virtual instrument synths that are loaded.
The presets for each of these virtual instruments.
The MIDI settings for each and every synth, including MIDI chanel, note range, and velocity range
The MIDI controller assignments for every synth.
The Mixer send effect levels for each synth channel.
The audio input effects that are loaded.
The presets for each of the loaded effects.
The input assignments for those effects.
The relative gain levels for each channel.
The Pan settings for each channel.
The Main mixer channel master effects that are loaded
The presets for those main master effects.
The routing configuration of those main master effects
The main mixer level and panning.
So you can see from the list above that one preset in the PLAY mode controls a lot of things. This is very
handy when you want to explore the factory presets of your RECEPTOR VIP.
However, there are times when you might want to build a preset from scratch, sound by sound or effect
by effect. For this reason, there is a "lower level" of presets that you can access on a channel-by-channel
basis. So just as there are PLAY level TAgS and PRESETS, there are also TAgS and PRESETS on the
"synth channel" and "effect channel" level. This lets you open up a synth or effect channel, and then
either select a preset by choosing a Tag of interest and loading a preset in to that channel.
But wait... there's more. What if you don't want to go directly to a particular preset in a particular virtual
instrument or effect? Well, you can do that too by simply loading in a particular virtual instrument or
effect, and then selecting the BANK tab from the Tag / Preset listing for that particular virtual instrument
or effect.
Since many hardware devices have only one level of presets, this can be kind of confusing at first, but
keep in mind there are presets at the highest level that control all aspects of your RECEPTOR VIP, as well
as presets associated with each particular virtual instrument or effect that is loaded on to your device,
and you'll quickly see how this allows you to completely exploit all the power that RECEPTOR VIP gives
you.
