Slice Handling
Selecting Slices
A selected slice is indicated by being highlighted in the waveform display. To select a
slice, use one of the following methods:
D By clicking in the waveform display.
If you hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and click on a slice in the
waveform display, it will be played back. The pointer takes on the shape of a
speaker symbol to indicate this.
D By using the “Slice” knob below the waveform display.
D Via MIDI.
If you activate “Select Slice Via MIDI”, you can select and “play” slices using your
MIDI keyboard. Slices are always mapped to consecutive semitone steps, with the
first slice always being on the “C1” key.
D If you play back a loop with “Select via MIDI” option activated, each con-
secutive slice is selected as it is played back.
You can edit parameters during playback.
Editing Individual Slices
There are two basic methods you can use to edit individual slices in Reason:
D In the Waveform display of the Dr.Rex device.
This is used for making playback settings for a slice.
D In the Sequencer.
Here you can edit the notes that play the slices. There is a special REX edit lane
for editing REX slice notes, with the notes indicated by the slice numbers instead
of by pitches. Editing in the sequencer is described in the Sequencer chapter.
Editing in the Waveform Display
Here you are able to edit several parameters for each slice, by first selecting it, and
then using the knobs below the waveform display. The following slice parameters can
be set:
! If you have made settings to any of the parameters listed above, these
will be lost if you load a new REX file. All Dr.Rex panel settings are
stored in the Song. You cannot directly apply panel settings to another
REX file!
