ReWire
Software Synthesizers
you’re recording pre-existing MIDI data through the synth, record
through the duration of the pre-existing clips.
The MIDI Output of the synth will be recorded to the new MIDI track. You
can then edit the MIDI data and route it to a different MIDI output as you see
fit.
Note: Be careful to avoid creating a MIDI feedback loop. To prevent this,
make sure the Input of a soft synth’s MIDI track is not set to the same
synth’s Output.
ReWire
SONAR 6 can send MIDI events to any object in a ReWire client application
on as many MIDI channels as the client application makes available.
ReWire Instruments
ReWire is a technology for transferring audio data between software
applications in real time—the software equivalent of a multi-channel audio
cable. ReWire is built on the following cornerstones:
• Real-time audio streaming between applications
• Sample accurate synchronization
• Common transport functionality
SONAR supports the ReWire 2.0 format, but with some differences.
SONAR interacts with ReWire applications in the following ways:
• You can insert one instance of a ReWire application into each SONAR
project.
• You can use as many MIDI channels and devices in each ReWire
application as that application makes available.
• You can insert ReWire devices into SONAR projects from the Synth
Rack view or Insert menu, and you can tell SONAR to create the
necessary synth tracks and one MIDI track at that time. You can also
tell SONAR to open the ReWire application’s property page, because,
unlike synths, ReWire applications must have their property pages
(interfaces) open in order to function.
• SONAR’s tempo, transport, and loop points are linked to the ReWire
application. Activating or changing any of these settings in the ReWire
application(s) changes the same setting in SONAR, and vice versa. If
you have several applications open and you make a change in one of
