ReWire allows you to stream Finale's audio output to a 3rd party digital audio workstation (DAW). Finale acts as an audio device and your DAW is a host. Check with your DAW's manufacturer to see if ReWire is supported.

From the download page, download and run the file Download setuploopbe1.exe. This will install the application LoopBe1 on your system. Now open TRAKTOR and select your Generic MIDI mapping from the Device list in the Controller Manager. Click on the Out-Port field and select LoopBe Internal MIDI from the drop-down list. Using Panorama with ReWire: Ableton Live. When Reason is ReWired to another DAW, Panorama's Internal mode can be used to control the host DAW. In the following example we'll set up Panorama to control Ableton Live in Internal mode while still using the Mixer, Instrument, Transport and Fader modes to control Reason. Under Options Advanced Services, make sure ReWire Support is enabled. Insert Ableton Live (from Instruments ReWire). Click “Open Application” in the dialog box, but if Live won’t open (it doesn’t for me), open Live manually. Note that Live must be version 10.1.15 or higher. In Studio One, go Options External Devices. I'm assuming you were expecting to open Live, open FL Studio afterward and then mash the giant ReWire button that popped up a la Windows style. That's what i expected. It certainly worked on XP and Windows 7 that way. I have used it on my Mac, but hadn't tried to ReWire since installing the Mac version.

What is Automap?

Automap is a piece of software that comes with all Novation controllers. It has been designed to make the job of assigning your hardware controls to various software parameters quick and easy.

Despite having knobs and sliders, most MIDI controllers are no good at controlling plug-ins. It is difficult to assign the controls and you cannot see what is controlling which part of your music software.

Automap 4 is the newest and most powerful version of Automap. It enables knobs, faders and buttons to instantly control plug-in instruments/FX, as well as your sequencer's mixer, transport controls and more...
