After messing about with Kong's REX functionality, it has no quantized stop/start and no toggle on/off. This would've been a lovely alternative to a clip launcher function at least.
Just wondering if it's possible for an RE to be developed that can load REX loops and layer them in a quantized grid style?
Is there anything stopping an alternative REX player being made?
No, there's no way to browse and load rex loops in REs, you can only load samples or repatch-files.
Well, sample playback isn't part of the SDK either, you have to implement it yourself.
All the SDK does in terms of samples is to provide you with an API that allows you to tell the host (i e Reason) to load one or more samples into memory, and to copy the data into your own buffers. Then you do what you want with the data.
Hmm. The way you worded that makes it sound like there could be a way to load REX files if you coded the module yourself. Have I misread?buddard wrote: ↑15 Feb 2021

No, there's no way to browse and load a REX file in an RE, because Reason has no mechanism to provide REs with that kind of data. You can only add browsers for patches or samples RE, there is no way to browse for REX files.Aquila wrote: ↑16 Feb 2021Hmm.

My comment was only addressing the question about there being a "Rex subsystem" in the RE SDK.
You could theoretically create a representation of a REX-file as a set of RE properties, and then create a tool that reads a REX file and spits out a corresponding .repatch file + one or several samples that you then load into your RE, but I think that extra step would probably scare off most customers.
