this is rewire... think in terms of stand alone hardware with no PC.
Sonar or Cubase is like your main mixer where you're mixing your whole song... vocals, drums.... everything. the FL Studio mixer is like a secondary mixer where you have all your racks and other hardware sound modules routed to. your midi controllers and the step sequencer in FL Studio is like your keyboard workstation where you do all your midi sequencing to all your racks.
Rewire is like the audio cables running from the channels in your FL Studio mixer to your main mixer with all your other tracks that arent in FL studio. It also syncs the play buttons and tempos so they match. that way you can work in either program and know that everything lines up. All rewire does is get multiple channels of audio from one workspace to your main workspace so all the audio from all your different programs are synced together so you can mix your entire song in one program without mixing down and transporting.
So... you don't transfer midi across rewire. theres no use for it and it makes no sense. all midi sequencing is done in each individual program that you're working on. the programs control their own midi data. rewire just gets the audio tracks into another program for mixing and syncing with audio tracks from other programs.
