“I’m using Propellerheads Reason, but I can’t figure out how to add a Loop in Dr. REX?”
To add a loop into the Dr. Rex Loop Player, proceed as follows:
1. Open the browser by selecting “Browse ReCycle/REX Files” from the Edit menu or the device context menu, or click on the folder button beside the Loop name display.
2. In the browser, locate and open the desired loop. You can listen to the loops before loading by using the Preview function in the browser.
Note – Loading a new REX file will replace any currently loaded file.
Auditioning the Loop in Dr. Rex
• Once loaded, you can check out the loop by using the Preview button.
It will play back repeatedly in the tempo set on the transport panel. If you change the tempo, the loop tempo follows.
• You can also play the loop once via MIDI, by using the D1 key.
• To check out the loop together with other device sequencer data and patterns already recorded, activate both the Preview function and the sequencer Play button. This does not have to be done in any particular order; they will play back in perfect sync anyway.
Loading Loops “On the Fly”
Another practical method for checking out loops is to load them “on the fly” (i.e. during playback). This is especially useful if you want to check out a number of loops against other sequencer data and patterns previously recorded. Proceed as follows:
1. Activate Preview on the Dr.Rex and start sequencer playback.
The REX loop and the sequencer are synced.
2. Now load a new REX file by using the Browser in one of the usual ways. After a brief silence, the new file is loaded, and sync is maintained.
3. Repeat step 2 as necessary until you have found a suitable loop.
• If you are trying out loops within the same folder, the quickest ways to select a new loop is to use the arrow keys next to the loop name display. Or, you can click in the loop name display and select a new loop from the pop-up menu that appears.
