UniWire Manual Supplement 8 Muse Research, Inc.
3 In your computer sequencer, select an audio track and instantiate a UniWire FX on that track.
Every host application has a different way of doing this. See your sequencer manual to learn how to route audio tracks
through virtual effects. Some host-specic examples are included at the end of this documentation.
4 In your computer sequencer, open the edit window for the UniWire FX that you just instantiated.
Again, this process is different for every host. See its manual to learn how to open graphical editor windows for
plugins.
The UniWire plugin interface appears in your host application.
5 From the UniWire plugin’s Connected To menu (left column), select the Receptor with which you want to
communicate.
By default, UniWire communicates with the rst Receptor in the list meaning, if you have only one Receptor, UniWire
always selects it automatically.
6 From the UniWire plugin’s Latency menu (left column), select the best latency setting for your intended use.
The Latency menu always displays values calculated from the sample rate and buffer sizes set in your host sequencer.
The lowest possible latency is always 2x your host sequencer’s buffer size.
Lower latencies limit Receptor’s potential polyphony but allow instruments and effects to be used in real time. If,
however, you’re using Receptor for off-line sequencing and mixing, higher latencies will allow Receptor to process
more data, and you can adjust your host sequencer’s latency compensation settings accordingly.
7 Use the UniWire plugin’s Audio Dropouts LED to monitor whether or not the current latency setting results in
any dropped audio buffers. Click the Audio Dropouts LED to reset it.
8 In the large routing area in the right of the UniWire plugin window, use the Send Data to menu to select the
channel on which the desired effects chain appears (the example above shows Receptor Channel 2).
In general, when using Receptor as an effects rack, it’s best to have the UniWire plugin communicate directly with
a single Receptor channel, rather than All Receptor Channels. This lets you route different audio channels through
different effects chains on Receptor These modes of operation (communicating with Receptor on a single channel vs.
ALL channels) will be discussed later in this manual.
9 Play your host sequencer and you should hear the audio track you assigned to UniWire playing through the
effect(s) you assigned on Receptor, just as if you had connected Receptor to your computer using audio
and MIDI cables.
