REWIRE SUPPORT
Using FL Studio ReWire with Sonar 2 
The following guide covers the steps required to use the FL
Studio ReWire device with Cakewalk's Sonar 2 sequencer.
The guide assumes you have read and understood the general
information and guidelines about using FL Studio as a ReWire client
(see Client Mode).
1. Make sure the FL Studio ReWire device is registered
Registering ensures Sonar will detect the device at startup and
launch FL Studio as a ReWire client. If you have disabled the
device earlier or you are not sure if it is registered, repeat the
FL Studio ReWire device registration procedure.
2. Launch Sonar
Launch Sonar and start a new project (or open an existing
one).
3. Activate the FL Studio ReWire device
|
In the Sonar window, open the
View menu and select Synth
Rack.
This window lets you activate the FL Studio ReWire panel. Open
the Insert Synth button (see the picture), select
ReWire Device, then click on FL
Studio.
|
4. Show the FL Studio interface.
|
Sonar's Synth Rack contains the
Properties button which lets you show the FL
Studio interface. Click the button once to display the
interface.
Alternatively, launch FL Studio from the shortcut on your
Desktop or the one in your Start Menu.
Since you have started a ReWire host prior to this (Sonar), you
will see the FL Studio ReWire device panel.
The panel automatically displays the FL Studio window in the
host. Clicking the FL Studio icon toggles the visibility of the FL
Studio window similar to the Properties button in
the Synth Rack.
|
6. End
Now FL Studio is setup to work properly as a ReWire device
inside Sonar.
To test the setup, load an existing project in FL Studio or
activate several steps in an
existing channel and hit the play button in Sonar. You will hear FL
Studio playing synchronized with Sonar.
