934 Chapter 38 Working in the Environment
Apart from common parameters, the ReWire object offers three settings:
 Device: This setting refers to the ReWire application(s) that Logic Express can
connect to. If one or more ReWire applications are running, it will display the names
of these applications.
 Bus: Lets you choose the ReWire Bus from all available ReWire busses. If a ReWire
application provides bus names, they will be shown. If using Reason, the names of
the instruments available in the Reason Rack will be shown from Bus 6 upwards, in
place of numbers.
 Channel: Sets the MIDI channel of the ReWire object.
Alias
You can create an alias of any Environment object, and it will behave exactly like the
original. In the case of faders, the alias has its own value—which can be different to the
value of the original object. This is particularly useful if using text faders, as they
consume a lot of memory—if you need several text faders of the same name, make
several aliases of one original object.
To create an alias of any object:
m Select the object, then choose New > Alias.
Aliases can be reassigned with meta events. A special fader, known as the alias assigner
(which works something like the cable switcher), is used to accomplish this.
To create an alias assigner:
m Choose New > Fader > Specials > Alias Assigner.
This will create a meta fader, with a -1- definition set to 46.
