Manual

UniWire Manual Supplement 21 Muse Research, Inc.
The following are basic instructions. See your host sequencer’s documentation to learn, specically, how to
route audio/midi data and instantiate/edit plugins:
1 Connect audio and MIDI cables to Receptor.
2 Connect a crossover Ethernet cable between Receptor and your host computer or, if using multiple
Ethernet devices, connect a standard Ethernet cable between Receptor and your host computer’s Ethernet
Router/Switcher.
3 If possible, connect a S/PDIF cable between Receptor and your host computer. Most audio cards and
some computers have built-in S/PDIF connectors. Synchronize the two devices either by 1) setting
Receptor’s Sample Clock Source to use S/PDIF Sync (meaning your computer is the master clock), or
2) setting your computer to sync to incoming S/PDIF from Receptor. Without synchronization, you may
experience occasional glitches during audio playback since, even though you’re using Receptor for all your
audio ins and outs, your host sequencer is still getting its timing from the computer’s built-in audio.
3 On Receptor, make sure UniWire mode is turned on.
On the front panel, press the SETUP button, rotate the top display knob to select the UniWire option, then rotate the
bottom display knob to select Enabled.
On the graphical interface, press the Setup Tab and, in the UniWire section, check the Enable UniWire option.
4 Enable Receptor’s built-in Audio + MIDI I/O.
On the front panel, press the SETUP button, rotate the top display knob to select the UniWire Receptr I/O
option, then rotate the bottom display knob to select Audio+MIDI Enabled.
On the graphical interface, Press the Setup Tab and, in the UniWire section, check the Enable Receptor Audio+MIDI
I/O option.
Note that Receptor does not output MIDI data over UniWire. It receives MIDI data from your host computer
and it both sends and receives audio data, as discussed in the following sections:
To send audio from Receptor to your host sequencer over UniWire
If you want to send any audio received by Receptor to your host sequencer (for recording or for additional
effects processing by your host sequencer), you would do the following:
1 In Receptor, congure a channel with the Source set to the desired audio input.
2 In your host sequencer, instantiate a UniWire˛FX plugin on an audio track.
