In addition, the NN-XT also allows you to create layered sounds, where two or
more samples can be played simultaneously. This is done by mapping different
samples across the same keyboard range. Another useful feature is the possibil-
ity to set up velocity switched key maps. This lets you control which samples in
a layered key map will actually sound depending on how hard or soft you play on
your MIDI keyboard.
Dr. Rex Loop Player
The Dr.Rex Loop Player plays REX files - audio files created in ReCycle, another
Propellerhead Software product. ReCycle is a program designed especially for
working with sampled loops. By “slicing” a loop and making separate samples of
each beat, ReCycle makes it possible to change the tempo of loops without af-
fecting the pitch and to edit the loop as if it were built up of individual sounds.
After loading a REX file into the Dr. Rex Loop Player, you can play it back in vir-
tually any tempo, make settings for individual slices, extract MIDI playback data
and process the loop with the built-in filter, LFO and envelopes. You can also
play the individual slices via MIDI or from the sequencer - each slice has a spe-
cific note number (C1 for the first slice, C#1 for the next and so on). A number
of REX files are included in the Reason Factory Sound Bank.
Redrum Drum Computer
The Redrum is a sample-based drum machine with ten drum sound channels.
You can load samples (Wave, AIFF, SoundFont files and REX slices) individually
for each channel, or open patches, which are complete drum kits (a number of
which are included in the Reason Factory Sound Bank). Each sound channel
has settings for pitch, level, velocity response, etc.
There is a built-in pattern sequencer, allowing you to create classic drum ma-
chine patterns, complete with shuffle and flam options. It is also possible to use
Redrum as a sound module, playing it live from an external MIDI controller or
from the main Reason sequencer. You may for example have the pattern se-
quencer play a basic drum pattern, and add fills and extras in the main se-
quencer. As with the Dr.Rex loop player, each drum sound has a specific note
number (C1 for drum sound 1, C#1 for drum sound 2 and so on).
