Audio connectivity

How do I use ReWire when working with Melodyne?

Melodyne can be run as a ReWire master or as a ReWire slave. Here are two examples, one for each case:

Melodyne as a ReWire Slave

Start the host application and select the Melodyne ReWire channels you require from the application’s ReWire panel: [fig. 1]
Start Melodyne.
Melodyne will detect the host application and ask if you want to connect to it. Select “ReWire".
Create a new arrangement or open an existing one.
Open the mixer. The output channels of the mixer now relate to the corresponding ReWire channels: [fig. 2]
Input channels are not available, if you are connected to a ReWire application with Melodyne as the slave.
In contrast to other ReWire implementations, it is not necessary in this case to quit the applications in any specific order. If you restart ‘Live’ without quitting Melodyne, the application will be reconnected automatically.

Melodyne does not load a full ‘audio engine’ into the host application. Instead it uses the technology of the MelodyneBridge to pipe the audio I/O from Melodyne to the host.
Melodyne does not support ReWire under Mac OS 9.

Start Melodyne.
Open a new file (or existing arrangement).
Open the ReWire Devices panel from the Windows menu: [fig. 3]
Choose the ReWire client application from the pop up in the upper left corner.
Start the ReWire application (either by pressing the ‘Start Application’ button or by launching it from the Finder, Dock, Start Menu or Explorer).
Choose the number of channels you want, by clicking on the check boxes in Melodyne’s ReWire Devices panel.
For each ReWire channel, Melodyne adds one new channel to the mixer. Input to this channel is supplied by the corresponding output channel of the other application: [fig. 4]
The first two channels may be grouped as a single stereo channel strip.
Press Play and begin work. You should hear both audio signals.

Always quit the client application before you quit Melodyne!
The ReWire setting is not global. It only applies to the current arrangement (remember that you can have several arrangements open at the same time within Melodyne, only one of which, however, can be active). The contents of the “ReWire Device[s]" dialog always relates to the active arrangement.
It is also possible to connect more than one application to Melodyne.
As the first two ReWire channels are grouped as a stereo pair in most cases, the second channel may be enabled automatically when you enable the first, and vice versa.
