Ok, I have been going over this in my head a hundred times and I can't figure out how to make it work. Say I want to use Sampletank or Colossus which has 16 spots for different instrument samples. Now I am currently using Cubase Sequencer so if I wanted each one of those 16 instruments to work and play notes independently I just create 16 midi tracks Set each track to a different channel, do the same thing in sampletank and start recording.
Now with uniwire, my only option is to use only one midi channel and layer the sounds, but I want different pitches from different samples which is a problem. So is there a way to solve this or em I stuck?

No. You can route multiple MIDI tracks to the SAME instance of Uniwire on your host, with something like Collosus/Sampletank/Kontakt2/Kompakt loaded up on Receptor. In fact, each of the Receptor slots can reference THE SAME instance of whatever (each listening on their default channel, or any other channel -- this is in the Receptor manual about how to do this...load a "multi-lane" synth into multiple receptor slots). In the uniwire plugin on the host you want to choose the "all channels" option, then set the channel of the MIDI track in your host just like you are used to doing with a multi-lane synth running locally (at least this is what works best for me).euphor42 wrote:Ok, I have been going over this in my head a hundred times and I can't figure out how to make it work.

I do this in SONAR 6.x, so I'm sure Cubase can do the same. In fact, this is how I HAVE to do it since loading multiple Uniwire instances hoses up my dual-core machine (unless and until Muse get multi-core support working in Uniwire).
