GH-LRSelector.dll 2007-09-12 by www.ghservices.com
--------------------------------------------------

This plugin allows you to select which side (LEFT or RIGHT) to pass to the outputs.
So, for example, you can choose to feed just the left side of the input to both outputs.
The 'Combined' option will send left-in to both outputs, and right-in to both outputs,
creating a mono signal by merging the two sides.

This plugin was created to overcome a limitation in the Muse Receptor inputs.
It is most useful when used on channels that are fed by the line input or SPDIF
input, which are normally stereo inputs. With GH-LRSelector, the line input can be
used as two mono inputs, and so can the SPDIF input.

To install:
-----------
Extract the files from the ZIP file (if you're reading this, then you've already done that!). 
Make a new folder on your Receptor: 
  \Program Files\VST Plugins\Unsupported Plugins\GHServices 
Move the DLL (and this TXT if you want) into that folder. 
On the Receptor Setup page, you should see 1 plugin waiting to be installed. Install it!
It may claim that installation failed, but that can be ignored.
If you are re-installing (e.g. upgrading from a previous version of this plugin), then
delete the various XML files (e.g. GH-LRSelector-info-cache.xml), so Receptor will detect
the new plugin.
You may have to rebuild the plugin cache: hold the Front Panel MULTI button and triple click
the POWER button, and when the front panel reads "loading..." you can release the MULTI button.

To use the plugin on Muse Receptor:
-----------------------------------
For example, select Receptor channel 1, choose Line Input as the source, then load
GH-LRSelector into FXA. On my plugin, select 'Left Input' from the Source selector.
Now, select Receptor channel 2, choose Line Input as the source, then load GH-LRSelector
into FXA. This time, click on 'Right Input' on my plugin. 
Feed different signals into the left and right Line Inputs and confirm that you are hearing
them split into channels 1 and 2 of the Receptor mixer (by soloing the channels).
This will also work with the SPDIF input and UniWire.

GH-LRSelector will also work after other FX plugins, in which case it provides a simple way
to sum a signal to mono: use the 'Combined' option in the Source selector.

It's also great on the Master channel, in 'Combined' mode, to make the overall Receptor
output mono, if you don't have a stereo PA.

Other uses:
-----------
You can switch between 'Left Input' and 'Right Input' in order to separately monitor
the two sides of a signal.

The 'Audio Mute' button provides a alnterative way to mute a signal.

The plugin has 6 outputs: the first and second pairs are identical, and the third
pair emits the signal present at the input of the plugin (bypassing the plugin). This means
that you can use the 'Volume' knob to attenuate the signal at the first and second outputs
while leaving the third output at full level.

Controlling the plugin via MIDI on Receptor:
--------------------------------------------
If all of these conditions are true:
 - the channel source on Receptor is "Line Input" or similar
 - GH-LRSelector is in the FXA slot
 - "Route MIDI CCs to Source Plugin" is enabled on the Setup page
then:
 - MIDI CC#30 will control Source selection
 - MIDI CC#31 will control Audio Mute
 - MIDI CC#07 or CC#11 (your choice) will control Volume

Otherwise, if "Route MIDI CCs to Source Plugin" is off, then you can control GH-LRSelector
using Receptor's Parameter Assign feature. For example if GH-LRSelector is in the FXA slot,
you can assign the GH-LRSelector 'Audio Mute' button to parameter order 1 using the
downward-pointing arrow on the "faceless mode" edit screen. This will map the GH-LRSelector
'Audio Mute' button to MIDI CC#72.

Another way to control the plugin, if "Route MIDI CCs to Source Plugin" is off, is to use
NRPNs (e.g. B0 63 20 B0 62 00, as shown on the Receptor screen).


The plugin was built using SynthEdit.
