    2.0 is Amazing!

    Please consider allowing us to preview rex files in the browser. They can be dragged to a pad and previewed but its slow when you need to wade through a folder of rex files. A lot of loops still come as Rex files.

    Thanks.

    This feature is already there. Turn on prehear.

    Thanks, b-righteous but its not working for me. I have the prehear on. The rex file appears as sound 1 but the rex file has an ! symbol in front of its name. The rex file plays correctly in Reason and in Sonar X2 but its not playing in Maschine 2.0. There may be some compatibility issue but these are rx2 files from Zero-G and they should work. I thought the function did not exist but maybe there's a different issue involved.

    that is pretty cool but most sample packs (that I see) aren't even doing the REX format anymore.. it like everyone is using ableton so there is almost no need to go that extra mile when making the packs.

    True. Just learned Translator 6 can batch convert rex files to wav. Think I'll do that.

    I love to use Rex files (mainly percussive stuff), especially with Nerve´s random function.
    There are still some libraries that offer Rex files, like Loop Loft and others.

    I can prelisten to Rex 2 files in Maschine 2, but when I load them I can´t hear anything, neither by pressing the pad,
    nor by sequencing it, made me nuts yesterday....
