Loading REX Files as Patches
REX Files are files created in the ReCycle program. This is an application created by Propellerhead Software, used
for slicing up music loops and enabling them to be played back in any tempo. In Reason, REX files are primarily used
in the Dr. Octo Rex loop player, but they can be used in the NN-19 as well. Possible extensions are “.rx2”, “.rcy” and
“.rex”.
When loading a REX file, each slice in the file is assigned to one key, chromatically. All parameters are set to default
settings.
When using REX files in the Dr. Octo Rex loop player, it is possible to make a track play the slices in order to recreate
the original loop. To do the same in the NN-19 requires a few extra steps.
1. Use the patch browser to load the REX file into an NN-19 sampler.
2. Create a Dr. Octo Rex loop player and load the same REX file into o Loop Slot of this device.
3. Use the “Copy Loop To Track” feature on the Dr. Octo Rex to create playback data (a group) on the track as-
signed to the Dr. Octo Rex.
4. Move that group to the track that plays the NN-19 and play it back from there.
5. Delete the Dr. Octo Rex loop player.
Sampling in NN-19
The sampling procedure is generic for all Reason devices that can sample (NN-19, NN-XT, Redrum and Kong). The
sampling and sample editing procedures are described in detail in the “Sampling (Record+Reason)” chapter.
D To sample your own sound and automatically load it into the NN-19 device, click the Sample button.
Refer to the “Sampling (Record+Reason)” chapter for details on how to set up and use the sampling feature.
