Renoise linked to a DAW as a slave

Reaper will not run as a slave to anything, but you can easily send MIDI and audio back and forth between Renoise and Reaper using ReaRoute and loopMIDI, which should work on Windows 7 and later.

Renoise as Rewire slave for Reaper : can I get MIDI from Reaper into Renoise?

If your on windows and just want to pass audio and midi back and forth minus the clock / timeline sync Id say forget Rewire and just use ReaRoute for the audio and loopMIDI as a loopback MIDI-port. I do this all the time and once its all set up it works great. That being said I only send from Renoise to Reaper not the other way around but I assume It would work exactly the same.

You can still send a clock to Renoise from Reaper, but you will not have timeline / song position synchronization or anything like that.

This setup basically turns Renoise into a separate tempo synced sampler / sequencer / groovebox while Reaper functions as a digital multi-track mixer and tape deck; however, your mileage may vary depending on what you’re trying to do.
