Click the MIDI Filter button to open the MIDI Filter panel for that channel.
--- MIDI Filter Panel ---
The MIDI Filter panel is used to re-channelize, remap, and filter the MIDI data used to control a particular
Receptor channel. From top-to-bottom, the MIDI Filter panel contains the following elements:
•
Listen To MIDI Channel
• Play Plugin MIDI Channel
• Note Range
• Velocity Range
• Ch Transpose
The following sections discuss each of these elements in detail.
Listen to MIDI Channel
Use this section to tell Receptor which MIDI channel to route to the selected VSTi. By default, an instrument
channel listens to the like-numbered MIDI Channel. For example, the VSTi you instantiate on Instrument
Channel 6 would respond to data coming in on MIDI channel 6. In general, you will change this default
mapping whenever you want to stack two or more VSTi’s on the same MIDI channel (to create either layered
sounds or split keyboards).
For example, you might want to instantiate an analog synth on Instrument Ch 1 and a string synthesizer on
Instrument Ch 2, but play them simultaneously from your keyboard to create a thicker, richer sound. To do this,
you would set the source on Instrument Channel 2 to listen to MIDI Ch 1. Now, when you play your MIDI
keyboard using MIDI Ch 1, Receptor plays both the VSTi assigned to Instrument Ch 1 and the one assigned to
Instrument Ch 2.
You can choose between MIDI channels 1-16, or you can choose ALL, which means that the VSTi receives
MIDI data from any and all MIDI channels.
The MIDI Filter button shown in Mix view always displays the Listen to MIDI Channel value.
NOTE: The Listen to MIDI Channel setting only changes the MIDI channel used to control the sound being
produced by an instantiated VSTi. It does not re-channel the data used to control the Instrument’s Mixer
Channel (such as Volume, Pan, Effects Send Levels, and so on). For example, if you instantiated a VSTi on
Instrument Channel 2, but told it to receive on MIDI Ch 1, the VSTi would respond to note, pitch bend, mod, and
sustain pedal data on MIDI channel 1, but the Instrument Channel’s volume, pan, effects send levels, and so on
would still respond to MIDI channel 2. This allows you to separately address and mix Receptor’s 16 instrument
channels, even though some of them may use layered or zoned instruments.
