| [Response](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/audio/processorinstance/response.md) | [ProcessorInstance.Response.Handled](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/audio/processorinstance/response/handled.md) if `processorInstance` acknowledged and processed the message, [ProcessorInstance.Response.Unhandled](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/audio/processorinstance/response/unhandled.md) if not or ignored. |

### Remarks

The `message` will be passed to the `processorInstance` by reference, so the `processorInstance` can modify it.
