Only word of caution - Softube has a fairly lame approach to rewarding loyalty. I toyed, briefly, with the thought of adding their Fader 1, but Faderport works really well with both Studio One and Cakewalk. While not ideal, the Kore 2 does a decent job of adding knobs and buttons for synthesizers and effects processors. Then again it was built for processing, not effects, but a guy can be greedy eh? Things I don't like about Console 1, mostly that I can not use it with many of my effects plugins. And the Softube plugins are nothing to sneeze at! I'm fortunate that many of my UA plugins remain Console 1 compatible. Things I like about Console 1 include the tactile interface, and the somewhat limited choice of plugins. It is a pretty handy combination! I also use Cakewalk by Bandlab, formerly known as Sonar - I used it for 20 years, and it provides a certaln level of comfort. Additionally, Receptor’s Remote control software lets you view and control Receptor’s graphical user interface over Ethernet using your host computer.Ī white paper with more details is available for download from the Muse Research website.I use Studio One v5, a Faderport 16, an NI Kore 2, and Console 1. UniWire provides you with 32-channels of audio between your computer and Receptor using a standard 100baseT network connection, as well as providing each plug-in with its own MIDI port (16 channels).

UniWire consists of a host computer plug-in created by Muse Research and a software upgrade to Receptor that enables the UniWire networking capabilities of Receptor.

Now with UniWire, it is possible to leverage that power and stability in the studio, allowing you to distribute the processing load between your host computer and one or more Receptors.Įssentially, UniWire serves as a way of running plug-ins inside of Receptor, but allowing you to control them as if they were running inside your computer. Receptor has established itself as an ideal way to use plug-ins in a live performance situation while needing to avoid the unpredictability of standard computers. UniWire lets you run plug-ins on Receptor as if they were in your host computer The companies UniWire technology allows you to connect your Receptor hardware plug in player directly to your laptop or desktop computer using only a single Ethernet cable, and get complete integration of MIDI, audio, and remote control data to and from the Receptor. The company expects the final VST version to be released in February. Muse Research has announced that its highly anticipated UniWire audio and MIDI networking technology is now available to the public in beta form.
