Editing in the Waveform Display
Here you are able to edit several parameters for each slice, by first selecting the slice and then using the knobs be-
low the waveform display. If you want to edit a single parameter for several slices at once, a more convenient way
would be to use the Slice Edit Mode, see “The Slice Edit Mode”. The following slice parameters can be set:
! If you have made settings to any of the parameters listed above, these will be lost if you load a new REX file
into that Loop Slot.
About the Alt parameter
The Alt parameter in the waveform display can be used to create a more “live” feel to your Rex loops by alternating
samples within each individual Alt group. For example, if you assign all snare hit slices in the loop to the Alt 1 group,
the snare samples will be selected and played back randomly each time these slices appear in the loop. Then, you
could assign all hi-hat slices to the Alt 2 group and so on. The result will be a loop that plays back differently every cy-
cle.
In the example below, slices 3 and 6 have been assigned to the same Alt group. Here, we have used the Copy Loop
To Track function five times to generate notes from the loop slices, just so you can see the note distribution. As you
can see, slices 3 and 6 have been distributed randomly for each loop cycle:
This randomization within each Alt group also occurs when you play back the REX loop using the Run function - and
when you use Pattern Automation in the main sequencer.

Description
Pitch Allows you to transpose each individual slice in semitone steps, over a range of more than eight octaves.
Pan The stereo position of each slice.
Level The volume of each slice. The default level is 100.
Decay Allows you to shorten individual slices.
Rev Allows you to play back individual slices reversed (backwards)
F.Freq Allows you to modify the Filter (cutoff) Frequency of individual slices. This value is added to, or subtracted
(if negative) from the FREQ value of the synth panel, see “Filter Frequency”.
Alt Allows you to assign slices to an Alternate group (1-4). Slices assigned to any of these four Alt groups will
be played pack in a random fashion within each group, see “About the Alt parameter”.
Output Allows you to assign individual slices to separate audio outputs (1-8). If the REX loop is in stereo, there is
also an option to select individual output pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6 or 7+8) for individual slices.
