Receptor directory structure?

I'm curious about what the directory structure looks like for the Receptor. I'm seeing a few examples in the manual but can anyone tell me how the plugin directories look like? The reason I ask is that I want to know how the presets are arranged. Are they like this?

../VST
SumDumVST.dll

../VST/SumDumVST
bank 1.fxb
bank 2.fxb

Are the .dll files all in one directory with a presets sub-directory? Or?

I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to get my Absynth presets into Receptor. I'm assuming that I can copy the .glo files into the presets directory that belongs to Absynth and load each bank via the plug-in GUI and then save each of them via the Receptor GUI? That way it writes out a .fxb/.fxp? I don't have a lot of saved presets but I do want them inside the Receptor and not on my laptop/desktop. Or can the Receptor Remote app actually navigate back to the host to load presets and banks and then save them locally on the Receptor.

Sorry to bother you with these questions... I guess I'm anxious to get my Receptor... I'll shut up once I get the thing... I promise.
:hihi: :hihi:
Death to all dongles!

Receptor does a lot of the housekeeping. When you save banks and patches all you see is the bank and patch structure, not the directory structure. When you mount the hard drive you can see and copy the directory structure, but you cannot change it. The only way to make changes is to save, rename, and delete banks and patches through the GUI.

You can see the directory structure very soon when you get your Receptor. I will not describe it here.

Like with banks and patches, the directory where plug-ins are installed is also write protected. You can install and un-install, but you cannot write or delete the files or directories directly. So you will not be able to copy your .glo files directly to the Absynth presets directory, but you can copy them elsewhere and load them.

You can very easily import .fxp and .fxb files. Copy them to "Drop installers Here" then press Install. You can either save your Absynth patches on the Mac as .fxp and import them in Receptor, or copy your .glo files over, load them in the GUI and save as a Receptor patch.

You cannot navigate from Receptor back to your computer's hard drive.
