them, it may be necessary to put the focus on the other application(s) to

update their interfaces.

• You cannot send patch or bank changes from SONAR to the ReWire

application. All other track property controls in SONAR control the

ReWire device, except the pan controls on MIDI tracks. The pan

controls on SONAR’s synth tracks control the ReWire device’s panning.

• You can mix down or bounce ReWire tracks in SONAR the same way

you mix down or bounce synth tracks.

• You can use SONAR’s automation functions on both synth and MIDI

tracks that the ReWire application uses.

• Muting or soloing a synth track that a ReWire device uses automatically

mutes or solos the MIDI track that feeds that synth track. Muting or

soloing a MIDI track that a ReWire device uses will mute or solo the

corresponding synth track only if there is only one MIDI track feeding

that synth track.

• You must always close your ReWire application(s) before you close

SONAR. Some ReWire applications prevent SONAR from closing

properly if the ReWire applications are still open.
