--- Accessing Edit View’s three modes ---
As you can see in the previous figure, there are three Mode Select buttons at the far left of the Edit Bar. These
are:
•
VST Mode button: Click this button to view and edit the plugin using its own unique graphical VST
interface. This is the default mode whenever Receptor enters Edit View. For more information, see “Editing
in VST Mode” on this page.
• Learn Mode button: Click this button to enter a special mode in which you can rename any parameter,
assign it to Receptor’s front panel, and put it under external MIDI control. The Learn mode button is not
available in faceless mode, since its functionality is provided by the faceless UI. For more information
about Learn mode, see “Learn Mode” on page 113.
• Faceless Mode button: Click this button to view and edit the plugin using a generic (“faceless”) UI. The
main reason for doing this is to facilitate large scale parameter renaming, panel mapping, and MIDI control
viewing. Some plugins do not provide a graphical UI, in which case the “faceless” mode is the only editing
method available. For more information about editing with the faceless UI, see “Editing in Faceless Mode”
on page 111.
Editing in VST Mode
To edit a plugin using its own graphical VST interface:
1 Enter Edit View using one of the procedures outlined in “Opening an Editor” on page 109.
2 Make sure the VST Mode button is lit. If not, click it to enter VST Mode.
The plugin UI appears on screen and the Edit Bar appears as shown here.
