uncheck this option so you don’t have to deal with the dialog each time. To
open the dialog when the option is unchecked, click the Insert DXi Synth
Options button in the Synth Rack view toolbar.
5. Click OK to close the dialog.
SONAR adds your ReWire devices to the audio track In menus and the MIDI
track Out and Ch menus, creates any tracks you requested, adds the ReWire
instrument to the Synth Rack view, and opens the ReWire application’s
interface.
6. If you get an error message about a MIDI Input problem from your ReWire
application, click OK and then use SONAR’s Options-MIDI Devices
command to open the MIDI Devices dialog and select the MIDI In port to want
to use to record into SONAR. Use your ReWire application’s menus to choose a
different MIDI In port for your ReWire application. If your MIDI interface
only has one input, you have to decide whether you want to use your MIDI
controller in SONAR or in your ReWire application. If you want to use your
controller in your ReWire application, deselect your MIDI In port in SONAR’s
MIDI Devices dialog, and select that input in your ReWire application.
7. In the MIDI track whose output is the ReWire audio track, click the drop-
down arrow in the Ch field to display the names of the available ReWire
devices in your ReWire instrument.
8. Click the name of the device you want to use.
9. Make sure that the audio track you want to hear the ReWire instrument
through has the appropriate ReWire channel listed in its Input field.
Now you can record MIDI data in the MIDI track and hear it through the audio
track. If you want to use different audio tracks for each ReWire device, see the
following procedure.
Note: Always close your ReWire applications before closing a SONAR project.
To Use Separate Audio Tracks for Each ReWire Device
1. Open SONAR, insert a ReWire instrument, and choose All Synth Outputs
(Audio) in the Create These Tracks field of the Insert DXi Synth Preferences
dialog. Make sure you choose to open the Synth window, and click OK.
SONAR inserts the ReWire instrument and creates multiple audio tracks.
2. In your ReWire application, assign the devices you want to use to the outputs
or channels you want to use. For example, in Propellerheads Reason, you use
the back panel of the mixer to drag cables from a device to the output channel
you want to use for that instrument.
