Can I use Receptors audio ins/outs with UniWire?
Yes. UniWire can operate in two modes: one that shuts off Receptor’s built-in audio ports and one that enables them. When you turn off Receptor’s built-in audio (the default mode), Receptor’s operations are totally slaved to your host computer. All audio and MIDI I/O is sent through your host computer’s audio and MIDI interfaces, and your sequencer controls their routing. In this mode, Receptor acts like an extension of your computer system. If, however, you turn on Receptor’s built-in audio, then you can use Receptor as an audio interface for your computer. There’s one important caveat to remember, should you decide to turn on Receptor’s audio I/O and use it with UniWire—and that caveat is this: for perfect digital synchronization, you should connect a S/PDIF cable between Receptor and your host computer, then slave either Receptor or your host computer to the S/PDIF clock. This might, at first glance, seem strange—but there’s method to our madness: Computer audio is digital, which me
