Support for REX-Files (ReCycle)

[notoric]

Hi,

congratulations for this great program!!!
How about a support for .rex files (created in Propellerhead`s Recycle)? I appreciate the possibility to choose my own slice-points.

They are the smallest high quality soundfiles availble to the working musician. Ableton needs to be able to utilize these files! They come with their own segmentation (allowing for quicker manipulation within Live - if they bring it on!). This is a great idea, and I feature I need right now!

I love Live 1.5! After playing around with it for the past 3 days... it simply rocks for making tracks. I would love to see them support .rx2 soundfiles, and I hope I can render separate tracks within a composition to wave or aiff or rex in the near future (when I purchase the product). I've tried to read exactly what it renders to when you do it to disk, but I haven't found the documentation anywhere... (I assume it's to wav)...

It would be a nice addition....

This will not happen unfortunately. Propellerheads will not release the specification ie it is not public domian like other formats. They want to use it with their Dr Rex player in Reason.

I found this out when I e-mailed the author of BeatCreator - a Recycle like tool. He managed to 'crack' the REX1 format but not the REX2 format as yet.

propellerheads would probably be happy to give you a rex2 SDK if you liscense it from them for lots of $$$

I see no reason why propellerheads would not let Ableton IMPORT .rex files. Remember that this could generate sales for Propellerheads hence Recycle are the only program that can GENERATE .rex files...
