“Working with REX files”
Working with REX files
SONAR supports two types of Groove Clips:
• ACIDized Groove Clip
• REX-based Groove Clip
Like ACIDized WAVE files, REX files are audio files that are designed to be looped and follow the
project’s tempo. The time stretching technology that REX files use is well suited for percussive
sounds, such as drums.
You can import REX files into a SONAR project. Once imported, you can work with REX files just as
if they were regular Groove Clips (see Working Groove Clip audio).
To import a REX file
1. On the File menu, point to Import and click Audio.
The Import Audio dialog appears.
Note: REX-based Groove Clips can be edited in the Loop Construction view, but certain Loop
Construction view tools only apply to ACIDized Groove Clips. The following Loop Construction
view commands, settings and tools do not apply to REX files:
• Enable Looping
• Beats in Clip
• Enable Stretching
• Marker tools
• Slice Resolution
• Transient Detection
