Looping WAV files in Receptor as a backing Track

[markmorgan]

Hi,

Have had a Receptor C for a while now - and want to use some of the files used on my PC/Akai MPC 500 (which are in WAV format 16bit/44100.

I've read posts about Mp3play VST working on the Receptor (will try this out), but what would really be great is if there was an equivalent program that did the same thing with WAV files. Is this possible.

At the moment I really use Akoustik Piano and Stylus RMX on my Receptor. Is there a way I can make this sort of loop effect with Stylus ? If someone knows how could they kindly let me know.

I'm thinking of getting Kontakt Player as this may be able to do it.

In any case - any ideas or suggestions welcome. Essentially, all I'd like to do is play a wav file (looping continuously) as a backing track so that I can play piano or sing over it.

Thanks

Mark,

Hi Mark,

Yes, Stylus might be a good option for this. You can either 'latch' loops, or trigger them from keys that they are assigned to. Stylus RMX however does not typically import straight WAVs - you need to turn them into REX files (via (propellerheads) Recycle).

With Kontakt (full version), you can import WAVs straight. I don't think you can do this with Kontakt Player (I think Kontakt Player imports Kontakt instruments that you can build with the full version of Kontakt).

Another option (probably equivalent to Kontakt) might be a SoundFont player. Again with this, you would need to translate your WAV into a different format.

Anyway, if you can find an VST MP3 player that plays WAVs, this is probably the easiest scenario.
