What is ReWire.dll? ReWire.dll is part of ReWire and developed by Propellerhead Software AB according to the ReWire.dll version information. ReWire.dll's description is 'ReWire' ReWire.dll is usually located in the 'C: Windows SysWOW64 ' folder. None of the anti-virus scanners at VirusTotal reports anything malicious about ReWire.dll. ReWire channels start at 1 with a maximum of 256. Rewire object outlets are specified starting at 1 for the left outlet, or 0 to turn the ReWire channel off. For example, map 3 2 causes the ReWire device's audio output channel 3 to be mapped to the second-from-left outlet of the rewire object. ReWire Propellerhead Reason into Magix ACID Pro. ReWire PreSonus Notion into Ableton Live. That’s all there is to it. For general information on ReWire, check out the article Upgrade Your DAW with ReWire. In this article, we’ll dive into a specific-use case — how to ReWire Propellerhead Software’s Reason into PreSonus Studio One.

Rewire is a software technology, developed by Propellerhead Software (of Rebirth and Reason fame), which allows two stand-alone audio applications to work closely together. Specifically, a 'Rewire client' program can route multiple channels of audio internally into the Pro Tools mixer. For those who need some background, ReWire is a software technology created by Propellerhead Software which allows two stand-alone audio applications to work together, allowing the program to route multiple channels of audio internally into the Pro Tools mixer.

bang	In left inlet: If a ReWire device has been loaded, bang causes a list of its output channel names to be sent out the second-from-right outlet.
int	transport-start/stop-flag (0 or 1) [int]	In left inlet: 1 starts the ReWire transport, 0 stops it. No sound can occur without the transport being started.
anything	rewire-device-name [list]	In left inlet: The symbol is interpreted as the name of a ReWire device. If the name is valid, rewire~ attempts to switch to the device.
closepanel	In left inlet: Closes the current device's user interface panel if it is open.
device	device-index [int]	In left inlet: The word device, followed by a number, switches to the ReWire device associated with the number index. The index is obtained as the order in which device names appear in a pop-up menu object connected to the second-to-right outlet.
loadbang	Same as bang but the action is performed upon loading the patch within which the rewire~ object is performed.
loop	start-point (samples) [int] end-point (samples) [int] loop-flag (0 or 1) [int]	In left inlet: The word loop, followed by three numbers, sets the current loop position and mode. The first number sets the loop start position in samples. The second number sets the loop end position in samples. If the third number is 1, looping is turned on. If the third number is 0, looping is turned off. However, note that ReWire clients may ignore looping if they do not produce transport- or time-based output. For example, a software synthesizer that only responds to MIDI note commands would probably not be affected by looping.
map	device-output-channel and object-outlet [list]	The word map, followed by two numbers, maps a ReWire device's output channel to an outlet of the rewire~ object. ReWire channels start at 1 with a maximum of 256. rewire~ object outlets are specified starting at 1 for the left outlet, or 0 to turn the ReWire channel off. For example, map 3 2 causes the ReWire device's audio output channel 3 to be mapped to the second-from-left outlet of the rewire~ object. You can find out the names of the ReWire audio output channels with the bang message after the rewire~ object has a connection to a ReWire device. By default, audio outlets map to the first channels of the ReWire device; in other words, the leftmost signal outlet outputs the first channel of the device.
midi	time-stamp MIDI-bus-index MIDI-message-status-byte and MIDI-message-data-bytes [list]	In left inlet: The word midi, followed by four or five numbers, sends a MIDI event to a ReWire device. The first number is a time stamp value and is currently ignored (in other words, the event is sent out immediately). The second number is the MIDI bus index. ReWire 2 has 256 MIDI busses, indexed from 0 to 255. The third number is the MIDI message status byte, and the fourth and fifth numbers are the MIDI message data bytes.
openpanel	In left inlet: If the current device has a user interface panel, the word openpanel will open it.
play	In left inlet: Starts the ReWire transport.
position	play-position (samples) [int]	In left inlet: The word position, followed by a number, sets the current play position (in samples).
stop	In left inlet: Stops the ReWire transport.
tempo	beats-per-minute [float]	In left inlet: The word tempo, followed by a number, sets the tempo to that number in beats per minute. ReWire handles integer or floating-point valude for tempos, and tempo is updated on the next call to the client to return audio samples.

When you are finished with your ReWire session, first close Finale and then your DAW. If your DAW closes unexpectedly and Finale is still in ReWire mode, use MIDI/Audio > Device Setup > Reset ReWire.
