The program is under "19 - Drum Grooves".
 
Ahhh, there it is. Thank you! I assumed it would be with the other HH_BonusBeats programs in the Grooves folder.
 
The default location for the REX drum loops is "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\72 - REX Drum Loops".
 
That explains it then. I don't have a 72 - REX Drum Loops folder in my Multisamples folder. In neither the C:\Multisamples, nor in the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples folders.
 
At least you help me find the program I was looking for. Thanks once again, scook!

When searching for programs, I use Windows Explorer. AutoHotkey can make Windows Explorer a handy replacement for the DimPro browser adding a script
run explorer.exe "c:\programdata\cakewalk\dimension pro\programs"
 
I do not understand the two mulitsample directories, DimPro only supports a single multisample directory. The default is either "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples" depending on whether the 32 or 64bit version of DimPro was installed first. The location may be changed by modifying the "Multisamples folder" in the registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\dp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cakewalk Music Software\dp

I downloaded AutoHotkey when I saw you mention this previously, but I couldn't work out where to add or enter this script. Anyway, I have searched my C: drive (using the Windows Explorer search window) and I definitely do not have a REX Drum Loops folder anywhere.

Neither do I, but that's how it has installed, and Paul P said he the same was happening for him. I don't have Dim Pro in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk folder, probably because I only installed the 64-bit version.

There is a learning curve to AutoHotkey. The short answer is run AutoHotkey, then right-click on the "H" icon in the notification area and "Edit this script". The default AutoHotkey script file opens in notepad. There are a couple of examples. Add
#d:: run explorer.exe "c:\programdata\cakewalk\dimension pro\programs"
to the file and save it.
The right-click the "h" icon again and "Reload this script"
Anytime the Windows-d key is pressed the Windows Explorer will open at the DimPro programs.
 
Of course you will either need to add Autohotkey to run at machine start up or make sure it is running before launching SONAR or DimPro to use the script.
 
The REX files must have been part of the second expansion pack at some time at least according to the program location. The actual location of the REX files is a guess on my part based on my installation.
 
As far as two multisample directories, it could be a permissions issue, IDK. Only one is used by DimPro so you have some decisions to make.

Thanks again, scook. I've added the script to AutoHotKey now.

The location of your files is probably correct, but for some reason I'm missing the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\72 - REX Drum Loops folder. It's possible that these REX files are located elsewhere, but when I try and search for an .rx2 file listed in the "Multisample Not Found" error message, it is nowhere to be found on my C: drive. Therefore, I assume that I don't have them.
 
Do you, or does anybody else, know how I could get these REX files?
