ReWire client application
Rewire-compatible client applications (like, for example, Propellerheads Reason) can be
integrated into Samplitude as synthesizers.
Activate ReWire functionality in the system options settings ("Y" key) under "Effects ->
VST/DirectX/ReWire". Afterwards, installed ReWire applications can be loaded as
instruments into a MIDI out slot in Samplitude. All ReWire client applications appear as
individual sections in the selection menu of the track's plug-in slot and are loaded as
software instruments (VSTi). The client application should always first be started after
launching Samplitude and closed again before Samplitude is ended. Some client
applications can be opened automatically by right-clicking on their name in the MIDI out
slot.
The ReWire application can be controlled via MIDI, just like a software instrument. You can
set up the ReWire client's individual output signals according to the multi-channel sotware
instruments on multiple tracks. The client application runs, starts, and stops synchronously
to Samplitude's time position.
The "classic" MIDI channel for MIDI notes and events is not important, it is replaced by the
ReWire MIDI bus system. For each track a MIDI object is able to control a ReWire MIDI
BUS. This means that all of a MIDI object's events apply to the track for this ReWire bus,
independent of the channel number the events originally had. Multi-timbral MIDI objects
(like those created in the MIDI file import) cannot be played correctly with ReWire. You can,
however, access the ReWire client across multiple tracks on various ReWire MIDI busses.
ReWire supports up to 4096 MIDI buses. A ReWire client only registers the MIDI buses that
are actually available with the host (Samplitude). You can therefore select the bus within the
track in Samplitude's MIDI channel menu (e.g. the receiving instrument for Reason).
Several ReWire clients can be opened directly via the host. If you start your client
application manually, this automatically detects the presence of a host application and
opens in a special client mode.
Detailed information can be found in the "Mixer -> Effects routing/Plug-ins dialog ->
VST/DirectX/ReWire setup plug-in buffer (view page 159)" section.
