Wow! Kind of cool. But I was hoping for a new guitar, a new amp and having somebody write me three hit songs. Any chance of those being included too. :lol:


Great news, Squids. Looking forward to it.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, argue about it on k-v-r

Yeah, I've had a tough time following all this too... :shock:

All I know is that Squids must be some salesman--I'm all set to sign up for this deal, and I don't even really know what it is... :shrug:

But he's never steered me wrong. :tu:

So many plugins, so little time...

Squids,

Come on man, you're killing me here! Every time I buy something from you I tell myself it has to be last thing for a long time, then you go and pull something like this. I can't even pull the "I've got a wife and 5 starving children" routine at the prices you're selling at!

If RAW is everything I'm expecting I'll be signing up just a little bit after it comes out on Monday morning :(

I'm swearing off "swearing off"...

Well it is still in development so the exact spec (or even the official product announcement) hasn't been released. But, it is a databasing and conversion tool for REX, Apple Loops and Wave. It is set up to convert REX2 to Apple Loops or Acidized waves bringing over the marker information. The meta tags from Apple Loops can be written to Acidized and visa versa. Bulk export to slices and midi in Wave format as well as the possibility of it being mapped for your favorite software sampler (take your pick- Kontakt, SampleTank, HALion, EXS, NNXT, SFZ, SF2 maybe as well). All of that plus some other things. It won't convert TO Rex2 format until Propellerheads opens that up to third party developers. But it will at least read from it. It does other things too. However, I should make sure it is understood that this is just something in development and it isn't even announced so if it comes out the way we want it then we'll let you know when, how much and everything else. Not expensive though. We want to have a series of utilities and enhancements to be able to get from www.esoundz.com to tailor it to your needs and make working with our sounds (or even any of yours from other sources) a lot easier. Big picture thinkers are we. Not "just another loop lib" but valuable tools to write and produce with that increase the speed of your work flow.

The hit songs are probably in there at least. ;)

Well, look at it this way. The deal isn't one that is going to make anyone do it without wanting it in the first place. IF you wanted RAW UNIVERSAL GROOVE KIT which has over 5,000 Rex2, Apple Loops and Waves (so over 15,000 loops total, just 5,000 each unique) then to buy the REX ONLY EDITION within the first month of it being out will get you a free upgrade to the RAW with the Apple Loops and Waves as well plus potentially some software goodies if/when it is released (covering my Squids butt there... but 90% chance it will be if you were wondering).

That's just a fun KVR thing. For everyone else (there's Mastercard? Oh sorry). For everyone else it is just a chance to get the REX-ONLY version for less money and they don't know about this secret offer. It doesn't matter WHEN they get it (first month or not) except that even the REX-ONLY version may be something just around for a limited time.

Bottom line is this. LOOPS! Lots of them. First and foremost we're talking about a huge diverse library of grooves. Something classic, something fresh, something flexible and a lot of fun. All for a really good price and it works with everything that reads Rex2 files. Particularly good for Stylus RMX and Reason users but also Sonar/P5, Logic, Cubase, Kontakt and more.

Squids, I would take you up on this offer right now if it was available. :(
If every KVR member wrote one review a year we'd have 1340 reviews each day!

Yeah, I agree. The only problem is re-authoring the REX2 files though. So we could batch normalize it on the way out to something else like Aiff or Wave. But, not BACK to Rex2 because it is encrypted. I mean, we ARE buddy pals with Propellerheads and I am going over to Sweden to visit so I can beg and everything. But, it is their format and they want you to buy Recycle so.... at minimum I will beg them to do batch processing in Recycle for you, me and the rest of the world! ;)

Glad you guys appreciate it. Also, just for caring enough to follow progress in our forum SHOULD get you something now and then like a secret offer or a special gift. Makes it fun!

No more toward the end of the day because of the final sound list. I mean, Rob could put it up now without if you want. Cool graphics too! ;) But, either today or tomorrow we would have the full sound list AND demos to listen to. Trying for today though to have all. I will also post in here (unless one of you beat me to it which DOES happen occasionally... ok all the time! lol) .
