REWIRE SUPPORT

ReWire, Connecting to external software

NOTE: ReWire was discontinued by Propellerheads / Reason Studios in 2020. Consequently, FL Studio as a ReWire device is also now deprecated in FL Studio. Official support ended with FL Studio 20.7. Please use FL Studio as a VST/AU to use it in other DAWs.

ReWire is a communications protocol originally developed by Propellerhead Software & Steinberg. It enables instruments, sequencers and DAWs to connect and share 'sample accurate' audio and transport functions. A Rewire video tutorial is available.

FL Studio supports both client and host mode for all ReWire applications. The following pages describe how FL Studio implements ReWire and contain step-by-step guides on how to use ReWire to connect FL Studio with Cubase™ SX, Live™, Sonar™ (client), ReBirth™ and Reason™ (host).

NOTE: FL Studio can also be used as a VST plugin. If your DAW software supports VST, we recommend loading FL Studio as a VST inside the host, rather than using ReWire.
