Importing REX Files and Sliced Loops
You can import REX files and sliced audio parts from Cubase/Nuendo into Groove Agent SE.
-
To import a REX file or a sliced audio part into Groove Agent SE, drop it onto an empty pad.
The slices are automatically distributed across the pads, and a MIDI phrase is created and assigned to the first empty pattern pad.
Once the file is imported, you can trigger the slices with the instrument pads, or play back the entire loop by triggering the pattern pad.
Imported REX files and sliced audio parts are treated like audio loops that were sliced in Groove Agent SE.
Pads that are part of the sliced loop display a loop icon. The pad that contains the first slice displays a larger loop icon.
If the number of available pads is not high enough to map all slices to pads, the slices that could not be added are shown in red on the slice edit page. You can move pads using drag and drop to free the necessary pads. As soon as enough pads are available, the slices that could not be mapped are automatically added.
If you import a REX file, the Slice Mode in the slice editor is automatically set to Manual, to preserve the slice markers specified in the REX file. Note, however, that in some cases, the slices saved in a REX file may not represent a useful audio loop.
