REX files are also compressed, using a non-lossy compression technique to save some precious hard drive space. When you import a REX file as audio, it is automatically stretched to fit the tempo of your Record songs.
The Dr. When you open a new ReCycled loop in Dr. Octo Rex you can load up the corresponding MIDI data in a special REX editor in the sequencer where you can move the slices around to create the beats you want. This way you can take a drum loop and rearrange it any way you want. We use cookies to improve your site experience.

Once the Recycle process happens, though, the 'feel' of the original will remain the same. Two bars of real guitar playing were sliced in this loop.
The Add Slices at Grid option was used since the playing was pretty regular, but several slices had to be moved manually in order to capture the naturally varying feel of the original. Note that in fluid audio such as this, or a full mix, obvious peaks and good slice points don't necessarily coincide! Sometimes, when using the Add Slices to Grid option, you get too many or too few slices; this would be the case if your audio has an eighth-note feel for example.
You could manually erase unwanted or add wanted slices, but you can also cheat by telling the software that your sample is half or double the length that you need, and it'll create a grid to match. So, a two-bar loop in normal circumstances would be divided into 32 note slices. Tell Recycle that it's a one-bar loop, and the grid will be 16 slices long, offering an eighth-note grid to your two bars. Just don't forget to switch the 'bars' parameter back to 'two' when you're finished, so that everything plays back at the right tempo.
Finally, you can simply look at the audio and place the slices manually. Note that there are two types of slice: locked and unlocked. Locked slices are added during the grid-based and manual processes, and unlocked when using the Sensitivity slider.
One type can be changed to the other, and the only difference between them is that unlocked slices won't disappear if you move the Sensitivity slider to the left. Slices can also be muted, though this removes the effect of the slice rather than muting actual audio. A loop can potentially contain a lot of slices: the program told me I was trying to insert slices during one test!
Be warned, though, that Dr. Rex in Reason can only accommodate files with a maximum of 99 slices. However you create your sliced-up loop, once you're Previewing it, a number of other processes can be applied to it. The first of the three main processes, Envelope, alters the attack and decay time of each slice. This is handy for smoothing away any intransigent clicks that you can't eliminate by moving slices, and for adding gated effects. Moving the decay parameter to the left causes slices to become more staccato; the effect can be quite dramatic and aggressive when used on a busy loop.
The Envelope also has a Stretch parameter, which artificially creates longer slices when a loop is played back at slow tempos. The effect is sometimes like a reverse reverb, but can often help fill in gaps that would otherwise be distracting when a loop is playing much more slowly than its base tempo. The Transient Shaper is essentially a compressor, with threshold, amount, attack and release controls, and a level meter.
The effect is triggered at each slice break rather than by audio peaks, and can, again, be quite aggressive to the point of distortion , but it really helps level out uneven loops, or add punch and energy — not to mention volume — to slightly lifeless samples. Lastly, the EQ is a deceptively simple affair. There are four 'bands': high and low cut centring on 15Hz and 20kHz respectively , and two parametric bands with full control over frequency, bandwidth and gain.
The lower parametric band has a centre frequency of 20Hz to 3kHz and the high ranges from 1. What's new in version 2. Version 2. Release December 10, Date Added December 11, Operating Systems.

Edit your digital audio files right from any portable storage device. In addition, ReCycle 2. ReCycle is a creative tool that prepares drum loops by analyzing and slicing them. It then creates the necessary audio elements and embeds the required sequencer data to the specialized REX file format read by most leading applications. The effect of this is that the loop becomes tempo independent.
One can edit its components freely to "rebuild" the loop, and the timing information in the recording the musician's "groove" and "feel" can be applied to other sequenced elements of the music. Pricing and availability: ReCycle 2.
