Re: [exs] Sascha Rex trick

Actually there's multiple ways:
- Shift+Pencil click on an audio track - the usual "old" procedure to import
an audiofile straight into your arrange ("old" because now you can also drag
them straight from explorer/finder).
- "Add audio file" from the audio window.
- Exs editor > instrument > any of the Recycle convert options.

All these will play a selected .rx2 file in the current song's tempo.

Additional note: On Windows (I don't know why, but this doesn't work on
Macs) you can keep your EXS UI opened and select sounds while the audio file
selection window is opened as well.
Having said that, I have my "general purpose loops" twice on my HDD, both
using the same folder tree structure, one of them are straight .rx2 files
for previewing purposes, the others are allready converted EXS files. Now,
whenever I find a suitable loop using the preview function, I can load it
straight into the EXS as well and continue looking for a better one. If I
don't find any I just close the preview window while the best one is in the
EXS allready. Whenever I find a better one, I choose that in the EXS.
This is a great feature that I love, but as said, so far it's only available
on Windows.

Regards,
Sascha
