DR. REX LOOP PLAYER

286

Introduction

The Dr.Rex Loop Player is capable of playing back and editing files created in ReCy-

cle, another product created by Propellerhead Software. ReCycle is a program de-

signed especially for working with sampled loops. By “slicing” a loop and making

separate samples of each beat, ReCycle makes it possible to change the tempo of

loops without affecting the pitch and to edit the loop as if it was built up of individual

sounds.

ReCycled Loops

To fully understand Dr.Rex you need to understand what it means to ReCycle a drum

loop. Imagine that you have a sample of a drum loop that you want to use in a track

you are working on. The loop is 144 bpm and your track is 118 bpm. What do you

do? You can of course lower the pitch of the loop, but that will make the loop sound

very different, and if the loop contains pitched elements they will no longer match your

song. You can also time stretch it. This won’t alter the pitch, but will make the loop

sound different. Usually it means that you loose some “punch” in the loop.

Instead of stretching the sample, ReCycle slices the loop into little pieces so that

each drum hit (or whatever sound you are working with) gets it's own slice. These

slices can be exported to an external hardware sampler or saved as a REX file to be

used in Reason. When the loop has been sliced you are free to change the tempo any

way you want. You can also create fills and variations since the slices can be moved

around in the sequencer.

About File Formats

Dr.Rex can read files in the following formats:

D REX (.rex)

This is the file format generated by previous versions of ReCycle (Mac platform).

D RCY (.rcy)

This is the file format generated by previous versions of ReCycle (PC platform).

D REX 2 (.rex2)

This is the ReCycle file format for both Mac and PC platforms generated by ReCy-

cle version 2.0. One of the differences between the original REX format and

REX2, is that the REX2 format supports stereo files.

! Unlike the other audio devices, Dr.Rex does not load or save file informa-

tion in a “Patch” format. The REX file and the associated panel settings

is instead saved in the Song (.rns) file.

✪ If you have made adjustments (pitch, level etc.) to a REX loop that you

wish to use in another Song, you can simply copy the whole Dr.Rex de-

vice from one song to another.
