DR. OCTO REX LOOP PLAYER153
The picture shows what keys should be pressed to select and play Loop Slot and to stop loop playback:
• To maintain backwards compatibility with Dr. Rex, the D0 key can be used to play back the REX loop in the
Loop Slot that currently has Note To Slot focus (see “Note To Slot”).
The loop is played back once (single-shot) and cannot be stopped during this time.
Adding Loops
To add one or several (max 8) loops into the Dr. Octo Rex Loop Player, proceed as follows:
1. Unfold the Loop Editor panel.
2. Select the Loop Slot you wish to add the (first) REX loop into.
3. Open the REX Loop browser by clicking the folder button to the left of the Loop Slot buttons.
Alternatively, select “Browse Loops...” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
4. In the Browser, locate and select the desired loop(s).
You can listen to the loops before loading by using the Preview function in the Browser.
D To select several loops, hold down [Ctrl](Win)/[Cmd](Mac) and click.
To select a range of loops, hold down [Shift] while clicking the last file.
5. Click the Load button in the Browser to load the selected file(s) in the Loop Slot(s).
! If you have selected and opened several loops, the first loop will load in the selected Loop Slot and the rest will
load in consecutive Loop Slots.
! Loading new REX files will replace any files currently in the slots.
D Alternatively, select the REX loop(s) in the Browser and drag and drop it/them on the Loop Editor panel sec-
tion, or on a Loop Slot button on the Controller Panel.
If you have selected several loops, the first loop will load in the selected Loop Slot and the rest will load in consec-
utive Loop Slots.
! If you drag a single REX loop from the Browser and drop on the Controller Panel (not on a Loop Slot button),
the REX loop will load into Slot 1 and all other Slots will be cleared.
Loading Loops “On the Fly”
Another practical method for checking out loops, is to load them “on the fly”, i.e. during playback. This is especially
useful if you want to check out a number of loops against other sequencer data and patterns previously recorded.
Proceed as follows:
C0 D0
Loop stop
Slot 1 play Slot 2 play Slot 4 play Slot 6 play Slot 8 play
Slot 3 play Slot 5 play Slot 7 play
