can it sync rex to tempo in preview playback?

REX2 files need to be converted to the proprietary Stylus RMX format in order to be utilized by Stylus. The conversion is handled by a small program that comes with Stylus (sage converter). I've never once had a problem with slice accuracy. The translation has been flawless for all of my REX libraries (which must be getting close to 100 by now).

Yes Stylus will preview the loops at the track tempo. You can double-speed or half-speed preview them as well. The preview function is VERY good, but again, it's not as easy as Dr Rex (which is still the best). Stylus does so much more than just tempo-sync'd loop playback. Mixing and matching loop elements (kicks, snares, hats) to make your own loops is incredibly powerful and useful... and easy.

Going through some loops and they all sound fine, i haven't done any editing but i played a few then tried deleting slice information; no difference. Also compared in maschine. These are factory loops though and obviously you have to use layers for anything that goes over 16 pads but everything sounds as normal as far as my ears can tell!

Btw i think the demo is not the latest version, it's 1.1.1 here.

well that says it DOES do it, so now i am confused, so i am going to download the latest demo, try it, and see what happens. Plenty of rex files to test with here. And if i love it, will wait for the next sale of $100 or less as they commobly do.

Oh.. for previewing, i found out today the UVI player does the job.. but very simply editing.

I suggest you contact Fxpansion as well... they are helpful folk

Theo - you could try the free Geist Lite if all you want it for is previewing REX files. It must have the same import fucntion as the full version.

REX1 only, so no stereo files, if I remember rightly. In fact the original Phatmatik (the free version) was a REX player.

I wish izotope had continued development of PPro, I still find it much more immediate than any other beatslicer... right down to drag-and-drop of the MIDI needed to sequence the loop.

FWIW (obviously not to Theo) various versions of Sonar have included plugins that handled REX files; DropZone, Beatscape, RXP. Now it handles them natively as well.
