‘To Control The’ Menu
‘MIDI Controls’ Menu
This drop-down menu appears only if you address Receptor on an individual channel (meaning you select
something other than ‘All’ from the Send MIDI To / Send Data To menu).

Note that the name of this menu varies slightly depending on whether you’re using a UniWire Instrument or an
FX. If you’re using an instrument, the parameter is called “To control the.” If you’re using an FX, the parameter
is called “MIDI Controls.” The functions, however, are nearly identical.
When you send data to an individual Receptor channel (as specified in the Send MIDI to / Send Data to
menu), you must also specify where, in that channel, to send the MIDI data. Use the To Control The / MIDI
controls menu to tell UniWire exactly which slot in the selected channel should receive and process the MIDI
data. Specifically, you can send MIDI to:
•
SOURCE VSTi
This is the default selection for the UniWire Instrument plugin. It routes all MIDI to the plugin assigned to
the selected channel’s Source slot.
• FX A VST Effect
This is the default selection for the UniWire FX plugin. This selection routes all MIDI to the plugin
assigned to the selected channel’s FXA slot. If the Send˛MIDI˛To parameter is set to either Buss 1, Buss 2,
or Master, then this also becomes the default value (since these channels have no Source modules).
• FX B VST Effect
This selection routes all MIDI to the plugin assigned to the selected channel’s FXB slot.
• FX C VST Effect
This selection routes all MIDI to the plugin assigned to the selected channel’s FXC slot.
• MIX Section
This selection routes all MIDI to the selected channel’s various MIX parameters.
SHORTCUT: Drag the little MIDI Destination indicator (which appears to the left of the virtual Receptor
graphic) up and down to change the MIDI control destination without using the drop-down menu.
By default, all MIDI data is sent to the plugin assigned to Receptor’s Source slot. In most cases, this will be
what you want, as all MIDI notes and controller data will be sent to the Instrument plugin assigned to the
Source slot. If, however, you wish to route MIDI to control one or more of the insert effects, or if you wish to
control Receptor’s own MIX parameters from your sequencer, then the other options exist.
NOTE: Since each instantiation of UniWire is capable of sending 16 MIDI channels to Receptor and each
instantiation can be routed to a specific plugin or mixer channel, this means Receptor is essentially a 92 MIDI
port device (16 instruments channels w/ 5 MIDI destinations each + 2 effects channels with 4 MIDI destinations
each + 1 Master channel with 4 MIDI destinations = 92 MIDI ports). And, since each virtual MIDI port can
receive 16 MIDI channels each, Receptor is capable of responding to 1472 different MIDI channels.
