to audio files. By loading a REX file into the Dr. Octo Rex Loop Player device, you can
play back the loop in virtually any tempo (without affecting the pitch), manipulate indi-
vidual beats in the loop, extract timing info, etc.
Note that you can also load REX files into the samplers, the Redrum drum machine and
Kong Drum Designer.
