I plan to use Receptor primarily on the gig, so my most common patches will be acoustic piano in normal range, B4 normal range and an electric piano, probably Mr Ray73.
But as I'm using one 88-note keyboard with no split option (the M-Audio Projeys 88sx,) any synths I play will need to be transposed down two octaves and split with the lower half of the keyboard being acoustic piano up one octave. Also Piano up one and split, but with the B4 on the upper half - B4 only works on channel 1 (plus ch2 and 3 for lower manual and pedals.)
Will I need to load a second version of the piano, or can a different patch recall the same piano instantiation and transpose the keyboard?
Multiple instantiations of the same VSTi

Hi SoundSmith,
I'm not sure of all that you are asking,but I think I can answer some of it.
With each Receptor Single (this is a Receptor track, including the VSTi, and all of three subsequent audio vsts applied to the out of the VSTi) there are settings to store the Midi channel, Transposition, and active Key range (as well as the current patch for the VSTi). You can create splits on the same Midi Keyboard by having multiple receptor tracks, assigned to the same Midi channel, but having different keyboard ranges and transpositions.
Since this settings are not tied to the transposition value of any given patch within the VSTi, you can have multiple transpositions for the same VSTi patch (by using different Receptor singles).
This is VERY easy to set up. You will see.

Kevin L

That was the answer I was hoping for, thanks, guys. I have ordered my Receptor Rev C today, hopefully it will get here in time for an important gig next week...
