DR. OCTO REX LOOP PLAYER160
• The Global Transpose value can also be controlled via MIDI, by pressing a key between C-2 and C0 (with C-1
resetting the transpose value to zero).
This way you can also record transposition changes in the sequencer.
Dr. Octo Rex synth parameters
The Dr. Octo Rex synth parameters are used for shaping and modulating the sound of the REX loops. These param-
eters are familiar synth parameters, similar to the ones in the synthesizers; The Subtractor and the Malström, and in
the samplers; the NN-19 and the NN-XT. It is important to remember that these parameters do not alter the REX
files in any way, only the way they will play back.
! Most of the synth parameters are global, in the sense that they will affect all slices in the REX files as well as
all REX loops in all eight Loop Slots.
! All Dr. Octo Rex synth panel settings are stored in the Song (and in the Dr. Octo Rex patch file if you choose to
save the settings as a patch).
Select Loop & Load Slot
D Click any of the eight Select Loop & Load Slot buttons to select a loaded REX loop for editing, or to load a new
REX file to.
If no loop is already present in the selected Loop Slot, the Waveform Display will be blank. Otherwise, the display
shows a graphical readout of the REX loop and info (name, original loop tempo, number of bars and signature).
D Click the Follow Loop Playback button to “synchronize” the Select Loop & Load Slot buttons to the Loop Slot
buttons on the front panel.
This way, the currently playing loop will always be displayed in the Waveform Display. If you’re using Pattern Auto-
mation in the sequencer, where the Slots are switched during playback, you might want to deactivate the Follow
Loop Playback function to make it easier to edit a specific loop.
Refer to “Adding Loops” for info on how to load REX files and to “Editing Slices in the Waveform Display” for info
about editing the REX loop.
Copy MIDI Notes to a sequencer track
It’s possible to copy the MIDI Notes of the REX loop of the currently selected Slot to a track in your DAW’s se-
quencer:
