Not with my own drums, but I have found myself playing in bass or guitar parts, then bouncing them straight to rex (from the timeline, how cool is that?!), and triggering then slices back in different orders.Jagwah wrote:Interesting replies thanks guys. Seems common to use it for the loops already in the patch bank, not many of you are bouncing your own drums to .rex which is what I was interested in the benefits of, could be others out there that do it a lot I suppose.

The guitar part on this was done that way.
I also find myself using octorex as a quick way of adding a bit of rhythmical texture; shakers, high hats, percussion. The fact it has a filter built in is a bonus, filtering out the lows, then slowly bringing them back in. And separate audio outs it pretty cool.
More recently I got into the 'Alt' feature, where you set different slices on matching channels/numbers that alternate. That's quite a powerful tool, and you can get some crazy effects if you push it.
