Muse Research Receptor manual v1.2 - Manual (Page 18)

1: Quick Start 18 Receptor Manual
I’m a guitar player. How can I listen to some effects?
1 Plug your guitar into Receptor’s front panel INPUT jack and set the LEVEL knob immediately above the
INPUT jack to about the midway point.
2 Plug headphones into the front panel PHONES jack or connect the rear panel outputs to your mixer or
sound system, then press the POWER button.
Receptor will go through a short self-diagnostic and startup process.
3 Press the MULTI button.
This puts Receptor into Multi Patch mode, which defines an entire Receptor layout of up to 16 instruments and 57
effects.

TIP: To the right of the LCD are two knobs. Turn the top one to select the parameter you wish to edit. Turn the bottom
one to change the value of that parameter. If a parameter value is flashing, you must push the bottom display knob to
apply the change.
4 Rotate the top knob until the Bank parameter is displayed.
5 Rotate the bottom knob until the 2nd line says <Guitar Multis>, then press that knob to apply your
selection.
The Patch parameter automatically appears on the top line with the name of the patch displayed on the bottom line.
6 Rotate the bottom display knob to select the patch you want to audition, then press that knob to load the
patch.
Because Multi patches sometimes require many plugins to be instantiated, it may take several seconds for the patch to
load.
7 Play your guitar. Set the LEVEL knob so that, when you strum a loud chord, its LEVEL LED just barely turns
red.
You should now hear your processed guitar. Use the front panel VOLUME knob if needed.
8 To audition more factory sounds, turn the bottom knob to select other patches. Remember to push the
bottom display knob to load the patch into Receptor!
9 When you’re finished, turn off Receptor by pressing the POWER button TWICE!
By requiring that the POWER button be double-clicked (like you would double-click a mouse button) you’re assured of
never accidentally turning off Receptor in a live situation.
How and why do I network Receptor to my computer?
There are several reasons why you’ll want to network Receptor with your main computer, including:
•
To transfer software updates that you download from the web into Receptor.
• To transfer new plugins, patches, or samples to Receptor.
• To remotely control Receptor’s graphical user interface from your desktop computer
The following sections will help you get your Receptor and computer communicating as quickly as possible.
Detailed descriptions of all network operations are covered in Chapter 12, “Connecting Receptor to a
Computer.”
