+1 Tx16wx

Reaper for that matter. It even comes with some other neat stuff.

Hm, then I guess IJ could use Dr octorex with rewire then as well.

I'll have to check that TX16Wx thing again...

Geist is, in my book, the fastest and most intuitive rex player I´ve yet come across.

NI Battery (?)

Spectrasonics Stylus RMX is the king in this respect. The rex2 files have to be first converted by using the S.A.G.E. converter. If you are super serious about using rex files in the vst world, nothing beats Stylus RMX.

Air Transfuser 2

it's my rex mangler of choice when not using Reason

Geist 2. And I second the recommendation for both that and Stylus RMX. All of my REX files have been imported into both and they give me tons of possibilities.

Geist has kind of a crappy learning curve, but when you're past that, it's wonderful, IMO

Does it have a learning curve?

Stylus RMX seems nice. But it's kinda old isn't it?
And...expensive.
Well, I didn't said anything about prices.

So what we've , this far, is:

* UVI Workstation
* Geist 2
* TX16Wx
* Battery
* Stylus RMX

Reaper was also mentioned. But that's a DAW not a VST plug-in.

I get what you're saying, but it works perfectly for what it was made to do. Worth every penny. I wish there were a demo for you to try out and you'd see what I'm saying. I, at first, thought I wasted my money, but realized how awesome Stylus is after I actually got into using it. I just don't like using any DAW to pitch shift drum loops. That's why, to me, Stylus is indispensable for this application.

It doesn't really have a browser but Zampler can play REX files, either as a loop (at host tempo) or as slices mapped across the keyboard.

Tried with TX16Wx.

I opened the file browser. Found a rx2 file. Double clicked it. NO sound.

I tired with various REX files. NO sound.

Even worse. I tried with all kinds of formats. The only thing that I could get some sound from where sf2 files.

But Wav and REX files delivers zero sound
