How do I slave Reason or Live to Digital Performer?

Digital Performer can be a ReWire host for programs like these.

To handshake Digital Performer and a ReWire slave, follow these steps.

  • Launch DP first.
  • In DP, add an Aux Track.
  • Set the input of this Aux Track to reflect your ReWire application, for example "Reason: Mix L1-R2" or "Ableton Live: Mix L1-R2."
  • Make sure this Aux Track has a valid audio output.
  • Launch your ReWire application.
  • Now your ReWire App will be synced with DP and if applicable, its MIDI outputs will publish as outputs for a DP MIDI track, for example "Reason: bus 6."

NOTE: In OS 9, MIDI isn't passed between Reason and DP via ReWire. This must be accomplished through the use of the IAC bus that is part of OMS. This in turn means FreeMIDI would have to be in OMS compatibility mode to transmit MIDI from DP to Reason. In OS X, DP 4 can send MIDI to Reason via ReWire.
