REWIRE SUPPORT
Using FL Studio ReWire with Reason  epique worldwide
The following guide covers the steps required to use the FL
Studio ReWire device with Propellerhead Software's Reason 2.5.
The guide assumes you have read and understood the general
information and guidelines about using FL Studio as a ReWire host
(see Host Mode).
General Usage
1. Add ReWired to the project
Add an instance of the ReWired plugin to your
project.
2. Select a Client
Select Reason from the Client
combo box of the ReWired channel.
If Reason is not present in the list, make sure Reason is
properly registered/installed.
3. Launch Reason
Launch Reason from its Start Menu shortcut.
Alternatively, use the Show Panel button in the
ReWired channel.
Now Reason is operating as a ReWire client for FL Studio. All of
its output streams into the ReWired plugin and the playback and
song position is synchronized.
Controlling Reason via MIDI
Reason provides access to many of its controls and synths via
the ReWire MIDI busses. To make use of this feature, you need to
set a MIDI Out channel in FL Studio to a specific port/channel
which is mapped to the ReWire MIDI bus of Reason:
Open the MIDI Options for ReWired
Click the MIDI Options button for the ReWired
channel that is linked to Reason.
Map Input Port
To send MIDI data to Reason, you need to map an FL Studio input
port to the ReWire bus.
Use the following settings to create a new mapping:
- Map: Input
- Port: 50 (or any free MIDI port you have)
- To: Reason
Click Add/Change and the mapping appears in the
Mappings list.
Create a MIDI Out channel
Add an instance of the MIDI Out channel to your project.
Adjust the MIDI Out settings
Set the output port of the MIDI Out channel to
50 (or the port you have selected to map earlier).
Reason 2.5's default project contains a controllable synth on
channel 2 - MelodyB (for a full
list of synths, check the Channels list in the
ReWired MIDI Options window), so select
channel 2 in MIDI Out.
Now any notes you play in MIDI Out are sent to Reason and played
by MelodyB. You can add additional MIDI Out
channels to control the other available channels as well.
