reason, Muse Research strongly recommends that customers who turn ON the Enable Receptor Audio+MIDI
I/O also connect a S/PDIF cable between Receptor and their host computer and set Receptor’s Sample Clock
Source to S/PDIF Sync Enabled.
Sample Buffer Size
If UniWire is enabled, Receptor automatically sets its Sample Buffer Size to match the value defined by your
host sequencer. No other options are available since the two buffer sizes must match exactly. For this reason, the
Sample Buffer Size parameter is disabled when Enable UniWire is turned on. If you wish to have a larger or
smaller buffer size, set the value in your host sequencer and Receptor will modify its setting to match.
Tempo Source, Tempo, and Time Signature
A third choice, called External˛-˛UniWire, has been added to the Tempo Source selector. This option is
available only if Enable UniWire has been turned on. When you select External - UniWire, Receptor will
sync to the host sequencer’s tempo that is transmitted over UniWire. This insures that any tempo-based effects
contained within Receptor stay synchronized to your host sequencer’s tempo.
If Tempo Source is set to External˛-˛UniWire, then the Tempo field becomes disabled and displays the tempo
generated by you host sequencer. Similarly, the Time Signature field also becomes disabled and displays the
time signature generated by your host sequencer.
If Enable Receptor Audio+MIDI I/O is OFF, then Receptor’s MIDI I/O is disabled and the External -
MIDI option is, consequently, also disabled in the Tempo Source menu. If, however, the Enable Receptor
Audio+MIDI I/O option is ON, then Receptor’s MIDI I/O is active and the External - MIDI option becomes
available as a tempo source for Receptor.
UniWire Audio Source
The Source Selector on each Receptor channel features a new Audio Source option, called “UniWire.”
You can select “Line Input” on several Receptor channels and you will get the same audio on every channel.
With UniWire every input is unique. If you select UniWire on channel 1 you have to send audio to channel 1
from your DAW.
There is no main audio input for UniWire. So when you select “All MIDI Channels” on an effect, you are
sending MIDI to the entire Receptor and receiving audio from the Master, but you cannot send any audio.
