Loading REX Files as Patches
REX files are music loops created in the ReCycle program or when editing audio clips inline in Reason (see “Bounce
Clip to REX Loop”). In Reason, REX files are primarily used in the Dr. Octo Rex loop player, but they can be used in
the NN-19 as well. Possible extensions are “.rx2”, “.rcy” and “.rex”.
1. Click the Browse Patch button on the front panel to set browse focus to the NN-19 device.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the REX loop you wish to load, select it and click Load in the Browser.
D Alternatively, drag a REX loop from the Browser and drop it on the NN-19 device in the rack.
The panel is dimmed in orange and the Patch Replace symbol appears in the center.
When loading a REX file, each slice in the file is assigned to one key, chromatically, starting from C1. All parame-
ters are set to their default settings.
When using REX files in the Dr. Octo Rex loop player, it is possible to make a track play the slices in order to recreate
the original loop. To do the same in the NN-19 requires a few extra steps.
1. Use the Browser to load the REX file into an NN-19 sampler.
2. Create a Dr. Octo Rex loop player and load the same REX file into o Loop Slot of this device.
3. Use the “Copy Loop To Track” feature on the Dr. Octo Rex to create playback data (a group) on the track as-
signed to the Dr. Octo Rex.
4. Move that group to the track that plays the NN-19 and play it back from there.
5. Delete the Dr. Octo Rex loop player.
Sampling in NN-19
The sampling procedure is generic for all Reason devices that can sample (NN-19, NN-XT, Redrum and Kong). The
sampling and sample editing procedures are described in detail in the “Sampling” chapter.
D To sample your own sound and automatically load it into the NN-19 device, click the Sample button.
Refer to the “Sampling” chapter for details on how to set up and use the sampling feature.
