ReWire
• If you want to create separate synth tracks for each of the ReWire Instrument’s outputs, check
the Create These Tracks: All Synth Audio Outputs check box.
• If you want to use existing MIDI and audio tracks to play the ReWire Instrument, uncheck all of
the Create These Tracks options. SONAR adds the ReWire Instrument to the audio track
Input
and MIDI track
Output
menus. You need to set an existing audio track’s
Input
field to
the ReWire Instrument, and set an existing MIDI track’s
Output
field to the ReWire
Instrument. The existing audio track will then become a synth track.
• If you want to open the ReWire Instrument’s interface from this dialog box, check the
Open
These Windows: Synth Property Page
check box (
always check this option
: ReWire
Instruments do not sound unless their property pages are open).
• If you opened this dialog box from the
Insert
menu and want to open the Synth Rack, select
the
Open These Windows: Synth Rack View
check box.
• If you want to open this dialog box every time you use the
Insert > ReWire Instrument
command, or click the
Insert
button in the Synth Rack and choose a ReWire instrument from
the pop-up menu, check the
Ask This Every Time
option. If you always insert ReWire
Instruments in the same way, you can uncheck this option so you don’t have to deal with the
dialog box each time. To open the dialog box when the option is unchecked, click the
Insert
Soft Synth Options
button
in the Synth Rack.
5.
Click
OK
to close the dialog box.
SONAR
adds your ReWire devices to the audio and synth track
Input
menus and the MIDI track
Output
and
Channel
menus, creates any tracks you requested, adds the ReWire instrument to
the Synth Rack, and opens the ReWire application’s interface.
6.
In the MIDI track whose output is the ReWire synth track, click the drop-down arrow in the
Channel
field to display the names of the available ReWire devices in your ReWire instrument.
7.
Click the name of the device you want to use.
8.
Make sure that the synth track you want to hear the ReWire instrument through has the
appropriate ReWire channel listed in its
Input
field.
Now you can record MIDI data in the MIDI track and hear it through the synth track. If you want to
use different synth tracks for each ReWire device, see the following procedure.
Note:
Always close your ReWire applications before closing a SONAR
project.
