Settings
Apart from common parameters, the Rewire Object offers three settings:
Device: This setting refers to the ReWire application(s) that Logic can connect to. If one
or more ReWire applications are running, it will display the names of these applications.
Bus: Lets you choose the ReWire Bus from all available ReWire busses. If a ReWire
application provides bus names, they will be shown. If using Reason, the names of the
instruments available in the Reason Rack will be shown from Bus 6 upwards, in place of
numbers.
Cha: Sets the MIDI channel of the ReWire Object.
Reason Settings
When using Reason, the Bus numbers translate as follows:
• Bus 1: addresses the instrument chosen as the Live Track in Reason.
• Busses 2 to 5: address Busses A-D of Reason’s MIDI In device.
• Busses 6 and higher: addresses the instruments of the Reason Rack.
ReWire Behavior
In Preferences > Audio > Driver, you can set the ReWire behavior for each ReWire
compatible audio driver type. When sending MIDI data to a ReWire compatible
software instrument, you can choose between these modes:
• Playback mode: use this mode when playing back MIDI tracks via ReWire. This setting
requires less CPU power.
• Live mode: use this mode when playing a ReWire instrument live. This setting
requires more CPU power.
MIDI Outs
Port Objects represent the MIDI output(s) of your MIDI interface(s). You can also use
them to address the internal synth on your soundcard (if applicable).
To create a port Object choose New > MIDI Out Port.
The lowest line in the Parameter box sets the MIDI output driver for the port Object.
The signals from all MIDI cables plugged into this Object will then be sent via the
selected MIDI output.
Remember that you can also address any MIDI output port directly from instrument
Objects (and the GM Mixer Object).
