Chapter 86: ReWire
Pro Tools supports ReWire version 2.0 technol-
ogy developed by Propellerheads Software. Re-
Wire is available in Pro Tools using the ReWire
RTAS plug-in.
ReWire provides real-time audio and MIDI
streaming between applications, with sample-
accurate synchronization and common trans-
port functionality.
Using ReWire, Pro Tools can send and receive
MIDI to and from a ReWire client application,
such as a software synthesizer, and receive audio
back from the ReWire client. Pro Tools applies
MIDI time stamping to all incoming MIDI.
Compatible ReWire client applications are auto-
matically detected by Pro Tools and are avail-
able in the RTAS Plug-Ins Insert menus in
Pro Tools. Selecting a ReWire client application
within Pro Tools automatically launches that
application (if the client application supports
this feature). Any corresponding MIDI nodes
for that application are available in any Instru-
ment track’s MIDI Output selector (Instrument
view) and any MIDI track’s Output selector.
Once the outputs of your software synthesizers
and samplers are routed to Pro Tools, you can:
• Process incoming audio signals with plug-
ins
• Automate volume, pan, and plug-in con-
trols
•Bounce To Disk
• Take advantage of the audio outputs of your
Pro Tools audio interfaces
ReWire RTAS plug-in
Pro Tools does not support sending audio to
ReWire client applications.
Not all ReWire client applications support
automatic launch from a ReWire-mixer ap-
plication. For these applications, launch the
ReWire client app separately, and then se-
lect it as a plug-in insert in Pro Tools.
Exchange of additional metadata such as
controller and note names between
Pro Tools and ReWire clients is not sup-
ported.
