Rewire Propellerhead

Rewire

ReWire is a special protocol for streaming audio between two computer applications.

ReWire Propellerhead Reason into Magix ACID Pro. ReWire PreSonus Notion into Ableton Live. That’s all there is to it. For general information on ReWire, check out the article Upgrade Your DAW with ReWire. In this article, we’ll dive into a specific-use case — how to ReWire Propellerhead Software’s Reason into PreSonus Studio One. Rewire can be found in over 40 programs, but it is important to note that not all programs can be both the host “Mixer,' as well as the slaved “Device.' Here is a complete list of how ReWire has been implemented into the landscape over the years.

Propellerhead Rewire 64-bit

Developed by Propellerhead Software and Steinberg, ReWire provides the following possibilities and features:

  • Realtime streaming of up to 256 separate audio channels, at full bandwidth, from the synthesizer application into the mixer application.

    In this case, the mixer application is Cubase. An example of a synthesizer application is Propellerhead Software’s Reason.

  • Automatic, sample-accurate synchronization between the audio in the two programs.

  • The possibility to have the two programs share one audio card and take advantage of multiple outputs on that card.

  • Linked transport controls that allow you to play, rewind, etc., either from Cubase or from the synthesizer application (provided it has some kind of transport functionality).

  • Automatic audio mixing functions of separate channels as required.

    In the case of Reason, for example, this allows you to have separate channels for the different devices.

  • Additionally, ReWire offers the possibility to route MIDI tracks in Cubase to the other application for full MIDI control.

    For each ReWire-compatible device, a number of extra MIDI outputs is made available in Cubase. In the case of Reason, this allows you to route different MIDI tracks in Cubase to different devices in Reason, with Cubase serving as the main MIDI sequencer.

  • The overall load on your system is reduced significantly, compared to when using the programs together in the conventional way.
