MULTI: Load Blank Patch
Rotate the top display knob to select the Load Blank Patch parameter. This special patch resets your Multi
by uninstantiating every plugin on every instrument channel and returning Receptor to its default configuration.
This is the ideal way to “wipe the slate clean” and start setting up an entirely new Multi patch from scratch.

SHORTCUT: Receptor provides a shortcut for loading a blank Multi patch from the front panel. Specifically,
if you press the SETUP button, then press the METERS button, Receptor will automatically load a blank Multi
patch. This is great if you want to quickly set Receptor to a known, empty state.
Force Load a Blank Patch
You can force Receptor to turn on with its blank patch by holding the MULTI button down while the unit turns
on. This is convenient if, in the rare case, Receptor is trying to turn on and load a damaged or corrupted Multi
patch.
NOTE 1: It’s most important to hold the MULTI button during the final stages of initialization. So don’t give up
holding the button until the unit is completely on and the user interface is displayed.
NOTE 2: If a Receptor startup configuration fails to load and the host fails to start, then the next time Receptor
starts up, it will load its empty default state. This is a fail-safe to prevent Receptor from attempting to endlessly
restart in an unstable state.
SINGLE Button
Single patches store the Source assignment, Insert FX assignments and routings for an Instrument Channel.
They also store the patch data for each instantiated plugin, which means your Single patches never “lose their
patch data” if you happen to change or delete a VST patch that was used in creating a Single patch.
SINGLE: Bank
In order to conform with MIDI standards, patches are stored together in a group, which is called a ‘bank.’ Each
bank can hold up to 128 patches. Receptor can store up to 128 banks of Single patches (for a maximum of
16,384 Single patches). To select a patch from a particular bank, you must first select the bank, then the actual
patch.
To select a bank and load a patch from that bank:
