WTB.. desktop rex player ?

[SarahBellum]

does anyone know of a desptop rx2 player ? something you can just audition rex files in via drag'n'drop (the same way you can use mediaplayer to 'audition' wavs)

cheers

If you're using Mac OSX; AudioFinder works great for doing that.

thanks but I'm Win7 64Bit here

find a plugin that does it (I'd use Dropzone, but you only get that with Sonar) and run it inside VSThost.

Might be a bit much for just listening to rx2 files, but I know UVI Workstation supports them (and it's free).

Use the built-in file browser to load the folder containing them and play. I can't remember if it'll preview them on click or if you have to load them first.

This: http://www.ryaudio.com/ supports the following formats:

AIFF, FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, ReCycle (.rcy, .rex, .rx2), WAV, WMA

If you haven't got a plugin that supports REX files like whyterabbyt's suggestion which is the cheapest way to go/great call I agree. Then sample librarian might be worth trying? 30 days full trial and if you like it 30 euros is the price which seems reasonable Hope that helps

thanks Dean, that looks interesting. I play rex files either in Geist (where I can totally mess with them) or drop them straight on an audio track in Cubase, so using rex's is no problem. I just wanted a simple desktop player, but i've been looking for a good sample browser program forever.

Just tried to buy this software. Seems a bit odd asks for to much personal info for a paypal transaction - on closer inspection it goes through PayProGlobal. Googling them and 'scam' is a bit worrying.

oh well,..

Ah I am sorry & apologize Sarah, I hate it when I recommend something and it turns out to be no good :/
So it would of been ideal except for them being potential scam artists?
I susspose only other thing that could be done is contacting them Shame as it seems like a good product at a good price.

Have you tried/heard of this one? It might be worth a look:

Its been MAC only for awhile but now supports Windows
I do not know of any audio player which supports (even via an add-on such as foobar2000's components) REX/REX2 playback, Be a good format for someone to write a component add-on for foobar2000 actually

Anyway thats me out of ideas, All the best

You could run UniversalPatchFinder in Savihost, both of which are free.
