Hi to the community!
the possibility to play REX files into Live is great, but is it possible to manage them just like with Reason? I mean : is it possible to play each slice separately with a MIDI keyboard, and, by the way, to re-organize them the way I want?
Didn't find any answer in the manual about this…
Are there any VST plugs which can handle this under Mac OSX 10.5 (Intel version)?

I've only noticed that REX files support time stretching better than aiff or wav, which is already a great thing! But would be even better to play a REX file "as an instrument" : no need for me to use Reason anymore, in that case…

Thanks to anyone who could help!

Cheers!

hey bro,

Yes if you drag a rex onto a clip. right click on it and select "slice to new midi track".
This creates a new midi channel with each sound individually sliced into a set of pads in the sampler all fully controllable much the same as reasons Rex Lane. you can then effect,pan,level each individual hit a such.

Hope that helps,

Dannravv.
