•Stop
The fourth Hit Type is named “Stop”. The Stop mode can be used if you want to use a pad for immediately stop-
ping the currently playing REX loop or Chunk. The Stop mode should be used in combination with any of the Hit
Types “Loop Trig” or “Chunk Trig”, otherwise it won’t be useful.
“Stop” selected as Hit Type for a pad assigned to a Nurse Rex module
1. Assign one pad to a REX loop in Nurse Rex and select any of the Hit Types “Loop Trig” or “Chunk Trig”.
2. Assign another pad to the same Nurse Rex module and select “Stop” as Hit Type.
Now, when you play the first pad, the loop or chunk will play. Once you hit the second pad, the loop/chunk play-
back will immediately stop.
Combining Hit Types
By combining the different Hit Types for the Nurse Rex module you can create really interesting setups. For example,
you could load a REX loop and assign a couple of pads to the “Chunk Trig” Hit Type, one pad to Loop Trig, another
one to Slice Trig and another pad to Stop. Playing the different pads can now generate really inspiring results. The
picture below shows an example of this type of setup:
Eight pads assigned to the same Nurse Rex module, with the pads set to different Hit Types (in Quick Edit mode).
If we click the Hit Type Quick Edit button, we can see that Pad 1 is set to Loop Trig, Pads 2-6 are set to Chunk Trig,
Pad 7 is set to Slice Trig and has four slices set to Trig in the REX loop display for alternate playback. Finally Pad 8
is set to Stop so we could stop the loop and chunks playback whenever we like.
