MULTIPLE REWIRE AUDIO OUTPUTS
Some ReWire-compatible applications provide
multiple audio outputs. After the ReWire
application has been launched, you can access its
audio outputs in the Instruments tab in the Bundles
window. These outputs function in the same way as
multiple outputs. For details, see “Multiple audio
outputs” on page 148.
SYNCHRONIZATION AND TRANSPORT
CONTROL
ReWire provides inter-application synchroni-
zation and transport control between applications.
This means that you can play, stop, rewind, locate
and otherwise manipulate the transport controls in
either program and both the ReWire synth and
Digital Performer will remain in perfect synchro-
nization with each other.
TEMPO CONTROL
Here are a few things you should keep in mind
about controlling tempo. You can change the
playback tempo of both the ReWire synth and
Digital Performer from either program, as long as
you have Digital Performer’s tempo slider set to
tempo slider mode.
When Digital Performer is operating under tempo
slider mode, when you first open a ReWire synth
file that has a different tempo setting, Digital
Performer’s tempo slider will jump to the tempo of
that ReWire synth file. If desired, you can then re-
adjust the tempo in either program.
If you have Digital Performer’s tempo slider set to
Conductor Track mode, Digital Performer’s
Conductor track governs the tempo and the tempo
cannot be changed in the ReWire synth.
PLUG-IN PROCESSING ON REWIRE SYNTH
INPUTS
You can apply Digital Performer real-time effects
processing, as well as third party plug-ins, to your
ReWire synth audio by simply adding plug-ins as
usual to the ReWire tracks in Digital Performer’s
Mixing Board.
RENAMING REWIRE SYNTH INPUTS
If the ReWire synth input names in Digital
Performer’s audio input menu (as shown in
Figure 33-1) are not to your liking, you can rename
them as desired with the Bundles window in the
Studio menu.
QUITTING THE REWIRE SYNTH
ReWire does not allow Digital Performer to quit
while the ReWire synth is open. If you try to do so,
you’ll see an alert window that informs you that
you must first quit the ReWire synth.
