anyone using rxp in x1 / creating your own rex files?/groove clips?

You can't create your own REX files with RXP. You can only do that with the ReCycle software from Propellerheads.

RXP is a REX file player.

It allows you to manipulate the loaded REX file via transposition, changing the arrangement of the slices, etc.

played around with rxp.its still very hard to use i can change around pitch and everything but saving it and bringing it into a project is a different story..still working on it though and hopefully shed some more knowlege on to it.as scott has given me a great place to start..thanks again scott

I've looked but haven't found anything. I've had recycle for years, and you're right....it aint cheap. My solution is to create groove clips in SONAR.

Zonno

Hey, Scott.
Is Recycle really the only tool that can create REX loops?
It is kind of old and not cheap.
Is there no competition?
 

  Hey Onno,

If there is... I've never heard of it. I'm pretty sure Recycle is the only one.

after you create a groove clip does it automatically turn in to a rex file?

No, Groove clips are not exactly the same as REX files. They are similar in that they are sliced audio loops, however, REX files also contain extra information like MIDI data corresponding to the slices. That's why when you load a REX file in RXP, you can drag-and-drop the note icon into a MIDI track and use those notes to trigger the slices in a REX file.

Hey Charlie,

Ah ha! Trying to steal your brother's copy of the book, eh? Just kidding.

I'm glad to hear you got hooked on the book. Yeah, I try to tell everyone that if they read it from cover to cover, they'll be using SONAR like a pro by the end.

Still working on the videos... I think people will enjoy these as well. I hope to get them finished pretty soon, but still can't provide a release date yet.

In the meantime, the SONAR X1 Power! book was also just released in the eBook edition.

Thanks!
Scott

Hey Scott,

Any reason I cant buy the eBook in Australia? Kindle store is saying its only avaliable in the US?
