UniWire Manual Supplement 7 Muse Research, Inc.
7 In the large routing area in the right portion of the UniWire plugin window, select All Receptor Channels from
the Send MIDI To menu.
When you select All MIDI Channels, the UniWire plugin addresses Receptor exactly as if you had actual audio and
MIDI cables connected to Receptor. With this option selected, your host computer sends 16 MIDI channels over
Ethernet (rather than MIDI cables), which Receptor routes according to the MIDI Filter settings in each Receptor
Instrument Channel. Similarly, audio from Receptor’s MASTER channel is routed over UniWire back into your host
application, just as if you had connected a pair of audio cables between Receptor and your host computer’s audio
interface.
You’ll notice that the Send MIDI To menu gives you the option of addressing each Receptor channel individually.
When you choose one of these single-channel options, UniWire is able to send all 16 MIDI channels to each Receptor
channel, meaning Receptor operates as if it had multiple MIDI ports, rather than just one. This mode of operation,
which allows a single Receptor to respond to hundreds of MIDI channels, will be discussed later in this manual.
8 From the UniWire plugin’s Multi Bank and Multi Patch elds, select the Multi patch you wish to load into
Receptor.
If you modied any of your banks or patches since opening the UniWire plugin, simply click the Update Bank/Patch
List button to make sure the plugin’s Bank and Patch lists match those in Receptor.
9 Play a MIDI keyboard connected to your host sequencer and, if its ‘keyboard thru’ feature is enabled and
the track is congured properly, you should now hear Receptor just as if you had connected it to your
computer using audio and MIDI cables.
Alternately, if your sequencer track contains some MIDI data, you can play your sequence and UniWire will send that
MIDI data to Receptor, where it will play the instrument(s) instantiated on Receptor, then send the audio back into
UniWire -- just as if you were using a Virtual Instrument on your host computer.
10 If you wish to edit Receptor, simply click the Launch Receptor Remote button.
As its name implies, this will automatically launch the Receptor Remote application on your hard drive and allow you
to graphically edit and congure Receptor over Ethernet.
UniWire as an Effect
This basic example shows how to set up UniWire so that your host sequencer works with Receptor as if it were
a virtual effect.
1 Enable UniWire on Receptor and congure the unit as described previously, on page 5.
2 On one of Receptor’s instrument channels, assign the Audio Input called “UniWire” to the Source slot then
assign effect plugins to one or more FX slots (A, B, or C).
The previous illustration shows how to accomplish this with Receptor’s graphical interface. To do this on Receptor’s
front panel, set Receptor to the desired channel (see your Receptor manual), press the SOURCE button, rotate the
top display knob to select the Source parameter and rotate the bottom display knob to select UniWire. Press the
bottom display knob to apply your selection.
