How To ReWire GigaStudio with Cubase SX

This procedure is based on Cubase SX version 2.0 for Windows XP.

1. If you have not used Cubase SX yet, please be sure to run it at least once before pro-

ceeding. This is so that Cubase SX can install its ReWire engine in your system.

2. Go to the Cubase SX Devices menu and select Giga3.

3. Activate the ReWire channels in the Cubase SX ReWire menu (Devices/Giga3). You

may need to have GigaStudio running in order to do this. The ReWire channels will

become available as channel strips in the Mixer. These channel strips can have the

following properties:

• ReWire channels show up on the right hand side of the audio and MIDI chan

nel strips.

• ReWire channels will function just like any other audio channel in the Mixer.

4. Launch GigaStudio 3.0.

5. To take full advantage of the mixing features in Cubase SX you will need to route

the different GigaStudio instruments directly to the DSP Station ReWire output

master channels. For example, if your GigaStudio performance contains eight dif-

ferent instruments and you connect these to separate output masters in the DSP

Station, they will appear on separate ReWire channels in the Cubase SX Mixer. You

can then use the mixer in Cubase SX to adjust volume and pan, add effects and EQ

- individually for each GigaStudio instrument.

6. If you simply connect all your Giga instruments through the DSP Station mixer to

the stereo output pair on the Output Masters 1:2, all sounds will appear mixed on

a single ReWire stereo channel pair. This a perfectly acceptable option as there are

extensive mixing and processing capabilities in the GigaStudio, allowing you the

option of a pre-processed stereo mix. Note the manual assignment as the DSP sta-

tion always defaults to ReWire outputs 1.2.

Gigastudio 3.0 is now in ReWire Slave mode, Cubase SX is the ReWire Master. You can

render the GigaStudio ReWire input in Cubase SX as you would with other tracks, using

the “Import to Pool” and “Import to Track” options in a Cubase SX project. (For more ap-

plication specific information see the recording section of the Cubase manual).
