--- Mix View’s Five Basic Areas ---
Basic operation couldn’t be simpler. Across the bottom of the screen are all 19 Receptor channels. The top of
the screen is a detailed view of one of those channels.
To assign an audio input, VST instrument or effect to a particular channel, simply open that channel’s detail by
clicking the big Channel Selector button. Click the Source selector and select a plugin from the Plugin Select
panel that appears. Use the bank/patch selectors to select the desired patch.
Use the mixer at the bottom of the screen to adjust volume, pan, and effect sends.
Receptor’s graphical interface shows you only what is relevant. For example, if a channel has no plugins
assigned to it, then it is disabled in the mixer. Similarly, Channel Details show you only those parameters that
are currently accessible. For example, a plugin’s bank and patch selection parameters are not available until you
actually select a plugin.
The following sections discuss the various Mix View elements in detail.
