- ReWire
ReWire is a
software protocol, jointly developed by Propellerhead andSteinberg , allowing remote control and data transfer amongdigital audio editing and related software. Originally appearing in theReBirth software synthesizer in1998 , the protocol has since evolved into an industry standard.Currently used in
Mac OS andMicrosoft Windows audio applications, ReWire enables the simultaneous transfer up to 256 audio tracks of arbitrary resolution and 4080 channels ofMIDI data. This allows, for example, the output from synthesizer software to be fed directly into a linear editor without the use of intermediate files or analog transfers. There are also provisions to remotely trigger actions, such as starting and stopping recording. The protocol is licensed only toproprietary software authors, but free of charge.ReWire Hosts ("mixer application")
