REBIRTH INPUT MACHINE
204
Introduction
The ReBirth Input Machine is a device dedicated to receiving audio from the Propel-
lerhead program “ReBirth RB-338” (version 2.01 and later). This is achieved by using
ReWire technology (see page 52), where Reason will act as master and ReBirth as a
slave device. If you don’t have ReBirth installed, you cannot use this device. If you are
a ReBirth user, you can use the ReBirth Input Machine for the following:
D Receive up to eighteen channels of streaming ReBirth channels in Rea-
son.
You can create more ReBirth Input Machines, but only one can be active at a time.
D Sample accurate synchronization between the audio in the two pro-
grams.
D The two programs can share the same audio card and take advantage of
multiple outputs on that card.
Preparations
For the ReBirth Input Machine to correctly operate together with ReBirth, the launch
and quit order is very important. Proceed as follows:
Launching
1. Launch Reason.
2. Create a ReBirth Input Machine.
You may want create a Mixer prior to this step, otherwise the L/R Mix channels will
be routed directly to the Audio Hardware Interface. If you have a Mixer, the L/R Mix
output from the ReBirth Input Machine will be automatically connected to the
mixer’s first available audio inputs.
3. Launch ReBirth.
4. When ReBirth is launched, select Reason as the application in focus.
If both the “Reason is Rewire Master” and the “Active” indicator on the ReBirth In-
put Machine are lit, this indicates that the launch procedure was correct and that
Reason and ReBirth are now locked and in sync.
D If only the “Active” indicator is lit, either the launch order was wrong, or
ReBirth is not installed properly.
5. Activate playback on Reason’s transport panel.
ReBirth and Reason are locked in perfect sync, and will follow any transport com-
mands in either of the programs.
! Note that there is no master/slave relationship for the transport controls
when using ReWire, as either device will control the other device’s trans-
port. The audio, however, is streamed from ReBirth to Reason, so in this
aspect Reason is the master device.
Quitting
1. First quit ReBirth.
2. Then quit Reason.
