Tempo
If the Tempo Source parameter is set to Internal, then this value determines the internal tempo in Beats Per
Minute. This tempo is used by all tempo-based effects and instruments.
If the Tempo Source parameter is set to External, then the Tempo BPM value is displayed, but can not be
edited. If you change the tempo of the external MIDI Beat Clock, you will see the tempo change in this window.
If no MIDI Beat Clock signal is currently present, the Tempo displays the most recently received MIDI tempo.
The Tempo BMP is a global setting that applies to all patches.
Time Signature
In general, you should set Receptor’s time signature to match the time signature of your song. Note that
changing the time signature’s denominator always has an affect on tempo. For example, if you set the Tempo
BPM to 100 at 4/4 time, then change the Time Signature to 4/8 time, the tempo will double is speed (since you
have changed the definition of a ‘beat’ from a quarter-note to an eighth-note).
The default time signature is 4/4 and the Time Signature is a global setting that applies to all patches.
Program Change Channel
Use this parameter to tell Receptor which MIDI channel to use for incoming program changes. You can choose
to have Receptor listen to all channels; or any one of the available 16 MIDI channels; or no channel. This
parameter is, by default, set to ALL, meaning Receptor will respond to program changes received on all 16
MIDI channels.
When you limit the reception of program change messages to a single MIDI channel, Receptor will respond
only to program change message that are received on that channel. So, for instance, if this parameter is set to
Channel 03, then you will only be able to select plugin and Single patches assigned to channel 03, and your
Multi patches will only change when the message arrives on MIDI channel 03.
The primary reason for setting this parameter to something other than ALL is when Receptor is part of a multi-
unit rig and you’re using a master controller to send MIDI Program change messages to all your devices. In this
case, you may want to set Receptor to respond to a single MIDI channel so that it ignores any program change
messages intended for other devices.
SETUP View - Network Parameters
Use these parameters to tell Receptor how to communicate with your computer network. Whenever you change
a network setting, Receptor must restart its networking operations in order for them to take effect. For this
reason, whenever you change a network setting, the Apply and Revert buttons becomes available in the bottom
right corner of the Network Parameters box. Clicking Apply restarts networking and applies your changes.
Clicking Revert returns all the options to their current settings.
Receptor Name
Use this parameter to name this Receptor. The name you enter here appears in whatever network protocols
display device names. The name can only contain alphanumeric characters, plus the following special
characters:
! , ‘ , - , # , $ , % , & , ( , )
You must click the Apply button in order for the name change to take effect.
IMPORTANT: If you’re using more than one Receptor, it’s important that each Receptor have a unique name—
otherwise the multiple units will not appear properly on a network. By default, Receptor ships with a rather
lengthy default name that makes it unlikely for multiple units to have identical names. If you change this default
name, make sure it doesn’t match the name used by another Receptor on your network.
