Because of these facts, you’ll always want to keep your eye on Receptor’s CPU usage. This little gauge, which
is almost always visible in the bottom left of the LCD, indicates CPU usage. It occupies the two lower left
characters in the LCD and fills from left-to-right as the CPU usage increases.

If you overload Receptor’s CPU, the display is replaced by a double set of exclamation points. When this
happens, you should bypass or uninstantiate some plugins (or consider buying more Receptors).
Parameter Name
As mentioned previously, the bulk of the LCD’s top line is used to display parameter names. Scroll through
various parameters by turning the top display knob.
More Parameters Indicator
This little 2-character indicator (at the far right of the top line) lets you know if there are more parameters
available either before or after the parameter you’re currently viewing. The first parameter in a scrolling
list always has a single arrow pointing right (indicating that more parameters are available after it, but that
none come before it). Similarly, the last parameter in a scrolling list always has a single arrow pointing left
(indicating that more parameters come before it, but that none come after it). Parameters in the middle of a
scrolling list have arrows pointing both direction (indicating that more parameters are available both before and
after the current one).
Parameter Value
As mentioned previously, the bulk of the LCD’s bottom line is used to display the value associated with the
parameter named in the top line. If a parameter value is flashing, it indicates that you must press the bottom
display knob in order to activate the parameter change.
Sometimes a portion of a parameter value might be underlined, which helps you see exactly which portion of a
parameter value the bottom display knob is affecting.
Soft Knobs
Whenever you enter Edit Mode for one of the channel views (SOURCE, FX A, FX B, FX C, or MIX), the four
soft knobs are available for controlling up to four edit parameters simultaneously. For example, an “analog
synth” plugin might assign these knobs to control filter frequency, filter resonance, Oscillator frequency, and
FM amount, giving you a fair amount of real-time control over the synthesizer.
For more information about how to use the soft knobs, see “EDIT: Using the Soft Knobs” on page 74.
