REWIRE
ReWire is an audio and MIDI protocol developed by Propellerhead Software
allowing Mixcraft to access sounds, virtual instruments, and features of external
music programs.
Mixcraft acts as a host, also known as a ReWire Mixer, with other applications working
as “clients,” or ReWire Devices. External applications will synchronize their tempo,
loop points, and start and stop times with Mixcraft. MIDI data from Mixcraft can also
be routed to control virtual instruments inside other applications. Audio from these
other applications is routed to Mixcraft, where it can be mixed and affected.
There are two ways to add a ReWire track with Mixcraft:
Click the Mix>Add ReWire Application from the main screen menus and select the
desired Rewire application. This adds a ReWire track in Mixcraft and displays the
third-party program’s interface as a child window inside Mixcraft.
Click the keyboard icon on an Instrument Track and select <ReWire Devices> in
the category menu. Choose a ReWire application from the Instrument Preset menu.
A new ReWire track will be created for the application, if one doesn’t currently exist.
