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-specific examples are included at the end of 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.
5 FromtheUniWireplugin’s Connected Tomenu(leftcolumn),selecttheReceptorwithwhichyouwantto
communicate.
By default, UniWire communicates with the first Receptor in the list meaning, if you have only one Receptor, UniWire
always selects it automatically.
6 FromtheUniWireplugin’s Latencymenu(leftcolumn),selectthebestlatencysettingforyourintendeduse.
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.

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.
