To do this from Receptor’s front panel, with the SETUP button lit, make sure that the UniWire Receptr I/O
parameter is set to Audio+MIDI Disabled, and that UniWire MIDI Filter is set to Bypassed.
UniWire as an Instrument
This basic example shows how to set up UniWire so that your host sequencer works with Receptor as if it were
a virtual instrument.
1 Enable UniWire on Receptor and configure the unit as described previously, on page 5.
2 Inyourcomputersequencer,createanewvirtualinstrumenttrackandinstantiatethe UniWire Instrument on
thattrack.
Every host application has a different way of doing this. See your sequencer manual to learn how to set up virtual
instrument tracks and work with virtual instruments. In addition, some host-specific examples are included later in this
documentation.

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.
4 FromtheUniWireplugin’s Connected Tomenu(intheleftcolumn),selecttheReceptorwithwhichyouwant
tocommunicate.
By default, UniWire communicates with the first Receptor in the list meaning, if you have only one Receptor, UniWire
always selects it automatically.
5 FromtheUniWireplugin’s Latencymenu(intheleftcolumn),selectthebestlatencysettingforyour
intendeduse.
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 played satisfactorily 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.
