Automating ReWire instruments
You can automate audio and MIDI tracks that are patched to ReWire instruments the same ways
you can automate any of SONAR’s audio and MIDI tracks.

ReWire troubleshooting guide
The following lists some common issues when you use ReWire with SONAR:
• SONAR Won’t Close Properly. Always close your ReWire applications before closing SONAR
or a SONAR project.
• Rebirth Won’t Play After I Open Its Property Page. Make sure that the Loop switch in Rebirth
is enabled.
• My ReWire Project Plays at a Different Tempo when Opened from SONAR. When you open
a ReWire project from SONAR, the ReWire project assumes SONAR’s default tempo, which is
100. Change SONAR’s tempo to match your ReWire project.
• My MIDI Controller Works in SONAR or my ReWire Application, but not Both. Choose
different MIDI In ports for both SONAR and your ReWire application. Do this in SONAR by using
the Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Devices command, and highlighting the MIDI In port you want to
use in SONAR. If you only have one MIDI In port on your MIDI interface or sound card, enable
that input in either SONAR or your ReWire application, and disable that input in the other
application.
• I Get a MIDI Input Error Message When I Open a ReWire Application. If you only have one
MIDI Input port on your MIDI interface, you probably have that one reserved for SONAR, leaving
none for your ReWire application. If you would rather use your MIDI controller in the ReWire
application instead of SONAR, you can deselect your MIDI input port in Edit > Preferences >
MIDI - Devices, and then select that MIDI Input from whatever menu your ReWire application
has for that purpose. If you have multiple inputs on your MIDI interface, simply select different
ones for SONAR and your ReWire application.
ReWire and fast forwarding in SONAR
When there is a ReWire application loaded into a SONAR project, the SONAR Fast Forward button/
command only works if there is a clip at the end of the SONAR project or if Stop at Project End is
not checked.
