How do I add a Loop in Dr. REX?
Adding a Loop
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 but-ton
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.
! 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 but-ton.
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 num-ber
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.
! Note that the Preview function is not the “real” way of playing back
REX loops. If you want to use the loop in a context with other de-vices,

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
