Quitting a ReWire session
When you are finished, you also need to quit the applications in a special order.
PROCEDURE
1. First quit the synthesizer application.
2. Then quit Cubase.
Launching both programs without using ReWire
We cannot think of any scenario, in which you would need to run Cubase and the synthesizer
application simultaneously on the same computer, without using ReWire, but you can.
PROCEDURE
1. First launch the synthesizer application.
2. Then launch Cubase.
NOTE
Please note that the two programs now compete for system resources such as audio
cards, just as when running with other, non-ReWire audio applications.
Activating ReWire channels
ReWire supports streaming of up to 48 separate audio channels. The exact number of available
ReWire channels depends on the synthesizer application. Using the ReWire Device panels in
Cubase, you can specify which of the available channels you want to use.
PROCEDURE
1. Open the Studio menu and select the menu item with the name of the ReWire application.
All recognized ReWire compatible applications will be available on the menu.
The ReWire panel appears. This consists of a number of rows, one for each available
ReWire channel.
2. Click on the power buttons to the left to activate/deactivate the desired channels.
The buttons light up to indicate activated channels. Please note that the more ReWire
channels you activate, the more processing power is required.
For information about exactly what signal is carried on each channel, refer to the
documentation of the synthesizer application.
3. If desired, double-click on the labels in the right column, and type in another name.
These labels will be used in the Cubase MixConsole to identify the ReWire channels.
Using the transport and tempo controls
IMPORTANT
This is only relevant if the synthesizer application has some sort of built-in sequencer or similar.
