Hi,

I downloaded the Rex converter from the Propellerhead library but have 
no idea how to use it?

Anyone?

Thanks!

I saw your post and have myself  3 Reason Refill CD's I'd like to be
able to convert to use with EXS24 as well, in a G4 PowerMac systemd.
Would you tell me the exact name of the app on Propellerheads site? I
did a search there for "REX converter" and found nothing.

Thank you,

Ernest

Refills are Refills and are for Reason only, at least the last time I 
checked.. Dont think there is any easy way to grab them and use them as 
REX files in another sequencer unless you could load the Refill into Dr 
Rex and maybe export each individual REX file..
The REX Converter mentioned I believe is to rectify a problem dropping 
old REX files into a particular version of Logic Pro..

You can't use the Refills with EXS, they (meaning the samples) can't 
be extracted out nor referenced using EXS. There is a rumor of a 
Refill extractor and I've seen it, but it's PC only and it doesn't 
work too well anyway. I've never seen it nor experienced it to work 
at all. I won't give out the link since it is not PHead's intention 
that Refills be extractable, plus it would screw up certain people's 
copy protection scheme.

The only way I was ever able to get REX files out of Refills was by loading them into
Reason, slowing the tempo way down (to make big gaps between the hits), exporting the
loop as an aiff, importing that into Recycle, and creating a new REX file. It only takes about
as long to do as it does to type this, though it sounds really complicated. I had a (cracked)
version of Reason I used only for that purpose. Then I felt guilty about having a cracked
version of anything and deleted the program.
