REX Files

_Logic Pro can import the following ReCycle file formats:_
• Old ReCycle file: These files have the suffix .rcy. The abbreviation for this file type is RCSO.
• Old ReCycle export file: These files have the suffix .rex. The abbreviation for this file type is REX.
• ReCycle 2.0 file: These files have the suffix .rx2. The abbreviation for this file type is REX2.

_To import a ReCycle file into the Arrange area:_

1 Select the ReCycle file you want to import by doing one of the following:
• Choose +File > Import Audio File+ and select a ReCycle file instead of an AIFF, SDII, MP3, or WAV audio file.
• Shift-click on an audio track with the Pencil tool and select a ReCycle file.
• Drag a ReCycle file from the Finder onto an audio track.

2 Choose the desired settings in the Import ReCycle file dialog, then click OK.

In addition to the above info, you can also drop the rex file into your sampler instrument folder.

Then you can load it with the EXS24, which will import it into a sampler instrument, and optionally it will also drop a created midifile onto the selected track so that the slices trigger correctly as per the original loop.

Quite handy sometimes...

To avoid just retyping the manual, it explains this stuff. See "Converting ReCycle Files to EXS Instruments" in the EXS24 manual for the full details of what these options do.

Although that is partially true, Bee Jay most certainly has read the manual. Where the manual fails to enlighten, experimentation is always a good idea.

+"Via Vel level, should i keep that AT FULL? and my Volume at full? to sound exactly like it does in the wav example of it? Thanks..."+

Try it, & try variations, in order to find out.

+"Also when i load it asks for Velocity Factor, It sets you up with 0 i chose 100 LOL. wat would u do, and wat does that means. Thanks!"+

Often these functions work the opposite way round from what you might expect; less is very often more. So if it defaults to zero, try zero first & then experiment with other values.

It's more fun that way!

🙂

Velocity factor - yes, as stated in the manual, positive values (up to 100) increase the volume according to velocity, negative values (up to -100) decrease volume. Zero is no extra effect either way.

As for Via Vel, I don't understand what you mean, there is no such parameter on Recycle import. If you mean the EXS24 global velocity scaling parameter, then I can assure you it is covered perfectly well in the manual. You'd be best off leaving it to the default, but if this doesn't give you the results you want, then tweak it accordingly.

Where the manual fails to enlighten, experimentation is always a good idea.

This is worth repeating. I never understand the people that post a question along the lines of "I want to do this - should I do A or should I do B" when it would take less time than a forum post to try both and educate yourself as to how to do it. I'm a big believer in self-education - asking others is fine, but it's very good to develop an attitude to help solve your own problems too, rather than always relying on someone else to step in and save the day...
