DR. OCTO REX LOOP PLAYER
(RECORD+REASON)
701
• The Copy Loop To Track function always creates an exact number of complete clips, meaning that the last clip
may “stick out” after the right locator.
Here, the REX loop is 4 bars long. Since there are only two bars between the locators, the clip will stick out after the right
locator.
! If you are using the Alt function for slices in the REX loop, these slices will output different note numbers each
time you use the Copy Notes To Track function. See “About the Alt parameter” for details.
q If you like, you can manually resize the clip to two bars by clicking and dragging the right clip handle. The last
two bars of the clip will then be masked and won’t play (see “Resizing (masking) clips”).
• You can change the groove in the loop by quantizing or moving notes.
• You can transpose notes to change the order of the slices on playback.
• You can use the Alter Notes function (see “Moving notes with the “Alter Notes” function”) to scramble the
loop notes - without destroying the original loop timing.
• You can remove and draw new notes, creating any kind of variation.
• You can use the User Groove function to apply the rhythmic feel of the loop to notes on other sequencer
tracks.
For details about editing in the sequencer, see the “Note and Automation Editing” chapter.
! Note that if you have created sequencer notes from a REX file in one Loop Slot, selecting another Loop Slot
with another REX loop could make the playback sound awkward. This is because the notes generated from the
original REX loop will in most situations not correspond to the slices in the other REX loops. However, in some
situations this could produce really interesting results so don’t be afraid to experiment.
• You can automate Loop Slot selection using the Notes To Slot function, see “Note To Slot”.
You can also export the REX file as a MIDI file, as described in “Export REX as MIDI File... (Record+Reason)”.
