Using rex files in cubase

You can layer samples in cells, shape samples using all manner of dynamic tools, create specific kit behaviours for use with live drums, import Propellerheads Recycle slices REX and edit and trigger them…..

By now I am sure you are aware that I love Battery and its intuitive interface that makes layering drum sounds easy and fun. I then import the exported REX file which houses all the slices that were created using Recycle. I then show you how to trigger these samples using the imported midi file. I explain how Battery works and how to use its cell-matrix and editing tools to shape the existing REX files recycle exported slices to taste. I show you how to create new sounds using the existing slices and explain how to change the order of slices played whilst using the same midi sequence.

I explain how to create completely new drum beats using the same midi sequence and imported slices REX files.

If I create a rex file in recycle it will play in dr rex in reason but will not even open in cubase.

I dont have this problem if I just open a "ready made " rex loop from a purchased cd in this case the file will open in reason or cubase. I tried to open a "ready made " file in recycle and then saved it. Instrument pads are used to trigger samples. Pattern pads trigger MIDI drum patterns or styles.

On the Edit page for instrument pads, you set up the sound of the kits. Groove Agent kits can be exported together with the associated samples.

There might be situations where loaded programs cannot find the samples they use. This can happen if the referenced samples are located on a different drive and the drive name has changed, or because the program was created on a different computer system. If this happens, the Find Missing Sample dialog opens.

Acoustic Agent is a next-generation virtual acoustic drummer that offers first-class drum sounds and an integrated player that creates the perfect accompaniment for your songs. Percussion Agent specializes in instruments, grooves, and styles that feature percussive elements.

You perform your mixing operations on the Mixer page. You can use Groove Agent independently from a host application. The slices are automatically distributed across the pads, and a MIDI phrase is created and assigned to the first empty pattern pad.
