Chapter 10: Using ReWire with Pro Tools

Playing Back MIDI Continuous
Controller Data Over ReWire
Once you have recorded MIDI CC data from the
ReWire client application to a MIDI track, con-
figure the MIDI track to play the ReWire client
application. You can also edit the MIDI CC data
in Pro Tools until you achieve the best results.
To play back MIDI CC data over ReWire:
1
From the MIDI track’s MIDI Output selector,
select the ReWire client application device you
want to control (the same device from which
you recorded the MIDI CC data).
2
Start playback in Pro Tools.
3
Switch to the ReWire client application. No-
tice that the corresponding parameter changes
according the MIDI CC data from Pro Tools.
Quitting ReWire Client
Applications
When quitting Pro Tools sessions that integrate
ReWire client applications, quit the client appli-
cation first, then quit Pro Tools.
Tempo and Meter Changes
Pro Tools transmits both Tempo and Meter data
to ReWire client applications, allowing ReWire-
compatible sequencers to follow any tempo and
meter changes in a Pro Tools session.
With the Pro Tools Conductor button selected,
Pro Tools always acts as the Tempo master, us-
ing the tempo map defined in its Tempo Ruler.
With the Pro Tools Conductor button dese-
lected, the ReWire client acts as the Tempo mas-
ter. In both cases, playback can be started or
stopped in either application.
If you quit Pro Tools before quitting ReWire
client applications, a warning dialog may
appear stating that “one or more ReWire
applications did not terminate.” To avoid
this, quit all ReWire client applications be-
fore quitting Pro Tools.
Pro Tools supports tempo values from
30–300 bpm. When slaved to a ReWire cli-
ent application, Pro Tools playback will be
restricted to this range even if the client ap-
plication’s tempo is outside this range. Ad-
ditionally, some ReWire client applications
(such as Reason) may misinterpret
Pro Tools meter changes, resulting in mis-
matched locate points and other unexpected
behavior. To prevent this, avoid using meter
changes in Pro Tools when using Reason as
a ReWire client.
