Setup devices

• General
• Asio
• Rewire

General

• Render audio : Choose between 16bit and 32bit.
• Rewire :
  •  Audio-Out means that the audio stream of RaX'n'TraX is routed to the rewire host application
  • Midi-Out means that the midi data is routed to the rewire host application
• Folders : 
  • (controller-maps) is not implemented yet
  • 4 different Vst-folders (usefull for p.e. Instruments / Effects / Percussion / Demo's etc....)
  • If you choose different folder(s) or reassign the same folder, RaX'n'TraX will rescan that folder when closing setup
• There are 2 MidiIn ports (cfr. Rewire Midi busses), and 1 MidiOut port (+MTC).
• For compatibility reasons you can choose MME as audio-device, however Asio is recommended. 
• [Single window] : when checked -> only 1 panel per paneltype will be opened (less window-clutter)
• [MultiCore] : VST-processing will be spread over multiple-cores (32 threads)

Asio

Native drivers :

• Most of the Asio drivers run without a problem.
• In DirectMode the latency can be very small. (<=256samples), but some drivers may not support this mode.
• Surely, not all drivers have been tested : Click here for bug reports.

Asio4All is supported.

ReaRoute (reaper) : no problems at 1024samples.

Rewire

Implementation :

RaX'n'TraX has 2 Midi busses (just like midi-in in standalone mode)

Bus-0 is used to play the VstI's in RaX'n'TraX

• 16 channels 
• CC#'s 0-127
• Pitch bend

Bus-1 is used to control RaX'n'TraX

• 16 channels correspond to Volume and Pan (CC7/CC10) to control the mixer
• Channel-0 through channel-5 are also used to mute the different panels :
• Chn-0=SQ4▓
• Chn-1=Vst's
• Chn-2=Waves
• Chn-3=CTRL
• Chn-4=Bez▓
• Chn-5=Transposers
• Muting is done through NoteOn/NoteOff messages
• C4 -> Page 0
• D4 -> Page 1
• E4 -> Page 2
• etc...
• Example :
  • C4-NoteOff on Bus-1/Chn-1 will mute the VST  located on page-0
  • F4-NoteOff on Bus-1/Chn-0 will mute the SQ4▓ located on page-3

To use RaX'n'TraX in Rewire mode : first open your main sequencer.

• Midi-In
  • Bus 0 -> Midi (NoteOn/NoteOff - CC#'s)
  • Bus 1 -> Controllers (Mixer (Pan/Vol)/Mutes)
• Midi-Out
  • Midi data coming from RaX'n'TraX (NoteOn/NoteOff - CC#'s)
  • Main panel->Rewire->RightClick
• Audio-Out
