USING REASON AS A REWIRE SLAVE

Using the Transport and

Tempo Controls

Basic Transport Controls

When you run ReWire, the transports in the two programs are completely linked.

It doesn’t matter in which program you Play, Stop, Fast Forward or Rewind. Re-

cording, however, is still completely separate in the two applications.

Loop Settings

The Loop in Reason and the corresponding feature (Loop, Cycle etc) in the host

application are also linked. This means that you can move the start and end point

for the Loop/Cycle or turn the Loop/Cycle on/off in either program, and this will

be reflected in the other.

Tempo Settings

As far as tempo goes, the host application is always the Master. This means that

both program will run in the tempo set in the host application.

However, if you are not using automated tempo changes in the host application,

you can adjust the tempo on the transport in either program, and this will imme-

diately be reflected in the other.

! If you are using the automated tempo changes in the host applica-

tion, do not adjust the tempo on the Reason transport, since that

tempo the doesn’t have any effect on playback!

Synchronization

All synchronization to other equipment is handled from the host application, not

Reason. In fact there are no special synchronization issues. All that is said in the

host application’s documentation about synchronizing audio channels is true for

ReWire channels as well.

Routing Audio

Preparations in Reason

When you route audio from Reason to a ReWire host application, you make use

of the Hardware Interface at the top of the rack. Basically, each output in the

Hardware Interface is connected to a separate ReWire channel. Therefore:

D To take full advantage of the mixing features in the host application

you need to connect the different Reason devices directly to the

Hardware Interface.

For example, if your Reason Song contains eight different instrument de-

vices and you connect these to separate inputs on the Hardware Interface,

they will appear on separate ReWire channels in the host application. You

can then use the mixing facilities in the host application to adjust volume and

pan, add effects and equalizing etc. - individually for each Reason device!

If you instead connect all your Reason devices via a Mixer to the stereo input

pair on the Hardware Interface, all sounds will appear mixed on a single Re-

Wire stereo channel pair. While this works perfectly fine, you won’t be able

to mix and process the devices separately in the host application.

Routing in the ReWire host application

The following description is based on using Reason with Cubase SX as the host

application. For descriptions on how to activate and route ReWire channels in

other host applications, please go to www.propellerheads.se/rewirehelp.

1. Pull down the Devices menu in Cubase SX and select the menu

item with the name of the ReWire application (in this case Reason).

All recognized ReWire compatible applications will be available on

the Devices menu.

The ReWire panel appears. This consists of a number of rows, one for each

available ReWire channel.

2. Click on the green buttons in the “Active” column to activate/deac-

tivate the desired channels.

The buttons light up to indicate activated channels. How many and which

channels you need to activate depends on to which Hardware Interface in-

puts you have connected your Reason devices, as discussed above.
