Receptor v1.2 beta now available

Muse Research has released beta version 1.2 of Receptor's system software which contains numerous enhancements, fixes, and improvements. Please read the full Release Notes for in depth details of these changes, a summary is below.

Improvements and New Features:

• You may now route each Receptor channel to a specific output - route any of Receptor's 19 channels (16 instrument channels, 2 effects busses, and the master output) to any Receptor output (Analog, S/PDIF, or ADAT pairs).
• New MIDI Filter Button has replaced the old "Remap Channel" button. The MIDI Filter still lets you remap Receptor's MIDI channel assignments, but the functionality has been extended to include Note Range, Velocity Range, and Channel Transpose settings.
• New Note Range parameter allows you to set a note range for an instrument channel. This parameter will limit the range of MIDI notes to which an instrument channel responds. The Note Range parameter is primarily used for setting keyboard split points on Receptor.
• New Velocity Range parameter allows you to set a velocity range for an instrument channel. This parameter limits the range of MIDI velocity values to which the channel responds. The Velocity Range parameter is used to assign certain instruments to limited velocity ranges.
• Faster plugin instantiation with new Zload feature. When enabled, Zload can dramatically improve the speed at which plugins instantiate. When plugins instantiate faster, Receptor is more responsive to patch change requests. Multi patches, in particular, will load dramatically faster.
• New Program Change Channel parameter to tell Receptor which MIDI channel to use for incoming program changes. You can choose to have Receptor respond to program change message on all channels; on any one of the available 16 MIDI channels, or on no channel.
• New Memory Usage display shows how much RAM is installed and how much is currently in use.
• New Hard Disk Usage display shows the total amount of user-accessible hard disk space and how much of that space is currently free.
• Channel Bypass Button now MIDI controllable.
• New "Load Blank Multi" Shortcut - this clears Receptor's mixer and is an ideal way to "wipe the slate clean" and start creating new Receptor patches.
• Tempo Source parameter now saved Globally - in previous versions, Receptor would save its Tempo Source as part of a Multi patch, which could result in confusing results when changing between Multi patches. As of v1.2, Receptor now saves the Tempo Source globally, and the parameter setting does not change when new Multi patches are recalled.
