DR. OCTO REX LOOP PLAYER

5. Disable the Enable Loop Playback parameter.
This is because you probably don’t want the loop playback to be controlled by the regular Run function but from
note playback in the sequencer. If the Enable Loop Playback parameter is on, there will be double notes during
playback from the sequencer.
Activating playback in the sequencer will now play back the notes on the sequencer track. These in turn will play back
the slices of the REX loop in the Loop Slot defined by the Note To Slot parameter, in the correct order and with the
original timing maintained. Now the fun begins!
• If the space between the Left and Right locators is greater than the length of the REX loop, the clips will be re-
peated on the note lane.
The REX loop is 1 bar long and the space between the locators is 4 bars, thus the clip is repeated four times on the note lane.
• The Copy Loop To Track function always creates an exact number of complete clips, meaning that the last clip
may “stick out” after the right locator.
Here, the REX loop is 4 bars long. Since there are only two bars between the locators, the clip will stick out after the right
locator.
! If you are using the Alt function for slices in the REX loop, these slices will output different note numbers each
time you use the Copy Notes To Track function. See “About the Alt parameter” for details.
q If you like, you can manually resize the clip to two bars by clicking and dragging the right clip handle. The last
two bars of the clip will then be masked and won’t play (see “Resizing (masking) clips”).
• You can change the groove in the loop by quantizing or moving notes.
• You can transpose notes to change the order of the slices on playback.
• You can use the Alter Notes function (see “Moving notes with the “Alter Notes” function”) to scramble the
loop notes - without destroying the original loop timing.
• You can remove and draw new notes, creating any kind of variation.
• You can use the User Groove function to apply the rhythmic feel of the loop to notes on other sequencer
tracks.
