Configuring the Host Program for ReWiring with GigaStudio 4: Overview
Open the host application, and insert at least one ReWire track. The method for doing this varies among hosts,
as described in subsequent, host-specific sections of this chapter. In most cases, a menu will list all available
ReWire channels, allowing you to assign these to a sequencer track or effect send/return. GigaStudio will be
listed as “Giga4” in any ReWire device menu. GigaStudio 4 can send up to 64 ReWire channels (32 stereo) to
your host’s application audio mixer.
When you insert a ReWire device, some applications launch the ReWire slave application (GigaStudio 4)
automatically, or at least give the option to do so. If not, then you need to launch GigaStudio 4 manually. When
GigaStudio 4 opens, note that the status bar along the bottom of the screen shows that it is running in ReWire
mode.
Changing Memory Buffers for Rewired Applications
For best performance when using GigaStudio4 in ReWire, you must save your session and close
GigaStudio4
before making changes to your hardware’s memory buffer settings via your REWIRE host
application. This will insure that both REWIRE host and slave remain in sync.
GigaStudio 4 in ReWire Mode
When ReWired, GigaStudio will detect that ReWire is activated instead of using its standard audio hardware
settings, and the number of audio channels specified will instead be routed to the host DAW application.
Each of the channels activated in the host application correspond to the instruments you have routed to the
output masters in the GigaStudio 4 DSP Station. Do all instrument loading and signal routing in GigaStudio.
Example: If you load an instrument into port 1, channel 1 and leave the routing as is, the default output
channels will be R1:2 (the “R” stands for ReWire) in the DSP Station.
In ReWire mode, instruments in a GigaStudio performance are routed to the DSP Station Output Master
channel strips. These outputs are designated as ReWire outputs instead of sound hardware outputs, and feed
