REX files .rx2, .rcy or .rex REX files are created in another Propellerheads application, the ReCycle loop editor. REX
files contain audio loops chopped into slices, with one slice for each significant beat in the
loop.
REX files can be imported to Audio Tracks in Reason and are automatically converted to au-
dio 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 individual 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.
Audio files and Samples .wav, .aif, mp3 etc. Audio files of various formats, resolutions and sample rates can be imported to Audio Tracks
in Reason. All sampler devices in Reason can also load and play back samples and audio files
in these formats. You can use files of different formats in the same device - one drum sound
can be an 8-bit sample, the next a 16-bit sample, etc.
