USING REASON AS A REWIRE SLAVE

Routing Audio

Preparations in Reason

When you route audio from Reason to a ReWire host application, you make use of the

Hardware Interface at the top of the rack. Basically, each output in the Hardware In-

terface is connected to a separate ReWire channel. Therefore:

D To take full advantage of the mixing features in the host application you

need to connect the different Reason devices directly to the Hardware In-

terface.

For example, if your Reason Song contains eight different instrument devices and

you connect these to separate inputs on the Hardware Interface, they will appear

on separate ReWire channels in the host application. You can then use the mixing

facilities in the host application to adjust volume and pan, add effects and equaliz-

ing etc. - individually for each Reason device!

If you instead connect all your Reason devices via a Mixer to the stereo input pair

on the Hardware Interface, all sounds will appear mixed on a single ReWire stereo

channel pair. While this works perfectly fine, you won’t be able to mix and process

the devices separately in the host application.

Routing in the ReWire host application

The following description is based on using Reason with Cubase as the host applica-

tion. For descriptions on how to activate and route ReWire channels in other host ap-

plications, please go to www.propellerheads.se/rewirehelp.

1. Pull down the Devices menu in Cubase and select the menu item with the

name of the ReWire application (in this case Reason). All recognized ReWire

compatible applications will be available on the Devices menu.

The ReWire panel appears. This consists of a number of rows, one for each avail-

able ReWire channel.

2. Click on the green buttons in the “Active” column to activate/deactivate the

desired channels.

The buttons light up to indicate activated channels. How many and which chan-

nels you need to activate depends on to which Hardware Interface inputs you have

connected your Reason devices, as discussed above.

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 Mixer to identify the ReWire channels.

4. Open the Cubase Mixer.

You will find that new channels have been added - one for each activated ReWire

channel. If the channels aren’t visible, you may need to scroll the Mixer window or

check the Mixer View options (different channel types can be shown or hidden as

desired in the Cubase Mixer).

5. Start playback (in Reason or Cubase - it doesn’t matter as both programs will

automatically be synchronized).

You will now see the level meters moving for the playing ReWire channel, and hear

the sound of the Reason devices through Cubase’s Mixer. Of course, this requires

that your Reason Song contains some music!

6. Use the mixing features in Cubase to add effects, EQ, etc.

Routing MIDI via ReWire 2

The following description is based on using Reason with Cubase as the host applica-

tion. For descriptions on how to route MIDI to Reason from other host applications,

please go to www.propellerheads.se/rewirehelp.

1. In Cubase, select a MIDI track that you want to route to a Reason device.

2. Pull down the MIDI Output menu for the track (in the Inspector or track list).

All devices in the current Reason Song are listed on the pop-up menu, along with

the conventional, “physical” MIDI outputs.

3. Select a Reason device from the pop-up menu.

The output of the MIDI track is now routed to that device.

D If you now play back a MIDI part on the track, the MIDI notes will be sent

to the Reason device - just as if the track were connected to any regular

MIDI sound source.

The sound of the device will be sent back into Cubase via ReWire - which channel

it will appear on depends on how you have routed the device to the Hardware In-

terface in Reason, as discussed above.

D To play the device “live”, you need to select the proper MIDI input for the

track in Cubase (the input to which your MIDI keyboard is connected)

and activate the Monitor button for the track.

When the Monitor button is activated, all incoming MIDI (i.e. what you play on the

keyboard) is immediately sent to the track’s MIDI Output (i.e. to the Reason de-

vice).
