Basic transport controls
When you run ReWire, the transports in the two programs are completely linked. It does not
matter in which program you play, stop, fast forward or rewind. However, recording (if
applicable) is still completely separate in the two applications.
Loop settings
If there is a loop or cycle facility in the synthesizer application, that loop will be completely linked
to the cycle in Cubase. This means that you can move the start and end point for the loop or turn
the loop on or off in either program, and this will be reected in the other.
Tempo settings
As far as tempo goes, Cubase is always the master. This means that both programs will run in the
tempo set in Cubase.
However, if you are not using the tempo track in Cubase, you can adjust the tempo in either
program, and this will immediately be reected in the other.
IMPORTANT
If you are using the tempo track in Cubase and the Activate Tempo Track button is activated on
the
Transport panel, you should not adjust the tempo in the synthesizer application, since a
tempo request from ReWire automatically deactivates the tempo track in Cubase.
How the ReWire channels are handled
When you activate ReWire channels in the ReWire device panels, they will become available as
channels in the MixConsole.
The ReWire channels have the following properties:
ReWire channels may be any combination of mono and stereo, depending on the synthesizer
application.
ReWire channels have the same functionality as regular audio channels.
This means you can set volume and pan, add EQ, insert effects and sends, and route the
channel outputs to groups or busses. However, ReWire channels have no monitor buttons.
All channel settings can be automated using the Read/Write buttons.
When you write automation, channel automation tracks will automatically appear in the
Project window. This allows you to view and edit the automation graphically, just as with VST
instrument channels, etc.
You can mix down the audio from ReWire channels to a le on your hard disk with the
Export Audio Mixdown function.

Routing MIDI via ReWire
When using Cubase with a ReWire-compatible application, additional MIDI outputs will
automatically appear on the Output Routing pop-up menus for MIDI tracks. This allows you to
play the synthesizer application via MIDI from Cubase, using it as one or several separate MIDI
sound sources.
