Browse ReCycle/REX Files...
This menu item is used to add a loop to the selected Dr.Rex device. Files to be im-
ported can be in REX, RCY or REX2 file format.
Loading a new REX file will replace any currently loaded file.
Browse Samples...
This menu item lets you load samples into the devices that use them; the Redrum, the
NN-19 and the NN-XT. The following sample formats can be loaded:
D Wave (.wav)
This is the standard audio format for the PC platform.
D AIFF (.aif)
This is the standard audio format for the Mac platform.
D SoundFont samples (.sf2)
This is an open standard format for wavetable synthesized audio, developed by
E-mu systems and Creative Technologies.
D REX file slices (.rex2, .rex, .rcy)
REX files are music loops created in the ReCycle program. This program “slices”
up loops into several, separate samples. These samples - or slices - can be loaded
into the devices mentioned.
Redrum
To use this menu item to load a new drum sound into Redrum, proceed as follows:
1. Select a channel in the drum machine, by clicking its Select button.
2. Select Browse Samples.
The Redrum sample browser opens.
3. Navigate to a location containing any of the sample formats listed above, se-
lect one and click Open.
NN-19
This menu item can also be used to add a sample to a key zone in a key map in the
NN19 sampler.
1. Select a key zone.
This can be empty, or contain a sample - it doesn’t matter for now.
2. Use the browser to add one or several (see below) sample(s).
The following will happen:
D If the zone contained a sample prior to loading, this will be replaced,
both in the zone and in the sample memory, unless the sample was also
used by another key zone.
D If you loaded several samples, one of the samples (the sample that was
selected furthest down in the Browser list) will be loaded into the key
zone, and the other samples will be loaded into the sample memory.
NN-XT
This menu item is used for adding one or more sample(s) to a key map in the NN-XT:
1. Make sure the Remote Editor panel is folded out, by clicking the small arrow
in the bottom left corner.
If the remote editor panel is folded in, you will only be able to browse for NN-XT
patches.
2. Use the sample browser to add one or several sample(s).
The sample(s) will be placed in separate zones and mapped across the same key
range.
! If a key map already contains a zone with a sample in it, and this is se-
lected prior to loading, it will be replaced if you load a new, single sam-
ple. If you load several samples at once though, they will instead be
added below any already loaded samples.
Automap Samples
This menu item applies to the NN 19 Sampler. If you have a number of samples that
belong together but haven’t been mapped to key zones, you can use the “Automap
Samples” function. This is used in the following way:
1. Select all samples that belong together and load them in one go, using the
sample browser.
One of the samples will be loaded to a key zone spanning the whole range, and
the rest will reside in the sample memory.
2. Select Automap Samples from the Edit menu.
Now the samples currently in memory will be arranged automatically so that:
D Each sample will be placed correctly according to its root note, and will
be tuned according to the information in the sample file.
Most audio editing programs can save root key information as part of the file.
D Each sample will occupy half the note range to the next sample’s root
note.
The root key will always be in the middle of each zone, with the zone extending
both down and up in relation to the root position. Hence, no key zone high or low
limits have to be manually set!
