A sample sliced in 64 slices has the same effect on me.
Ah sorry, didn’t get that.
From a 4 bar loop, it should be logical.
From a 64 sample chain without logical order, I guess it’s harder to remember…
Yes it depends of the nature of the sample.
I will rarely slice more than 12 slices for mental health reasons 
I mainly use slices to recreate a bass loop for instance since i never found convincing stuff to create groovy bass lines with the transients and all.
reviving this in the interest/hopes of batch converting rx2 files to wav if anyone has the wisdom or any software solutions have manifested…
The cheapest way is a sub to Reason+
One month, or two, depending on how big your rex file collection is.
Reason Studios have an api, but the problem is around licensing.

Resonic player pro will read rex and convert to WAV (Standard doesn’t)……you can get a trial license……create a batch target…and choose fully process file to wav

Amazing: will look into this! Ace to see Ableton support rx2 but wanna get these loops into my OT: this looks like the way, appreciate it.

I wonder if this would take .rex file slices and allow you to save them as wav files with markers. For use with Morphagene. I have Sound Forge where I can manually had markers but using ReCycle to set slice points first then coverting it to wav with the slices as markers would be awesome 
Another alternative is Emulator X3 software sampler. I bought it new back in 2009. It had to connect to a now dead server to register, but you can get it here for demonstration purposes.
It’s windows only works great on 10.
As it streams from disk, it works out quicker to do smaller batches (100MB)
@d4ydream….it will read the slice markers embedded within the rex file and convert them to folder as wav’s, however once it has been converted it will lose any associated info

After some more years… I made a rx2 to wav converter. Hope this helps! You should be able to cut to slices then use octachainer to create the OT. Supports individual slices, or a single loop, and will output a csv of slice length/timing for use in other tools.

Thought I’d add to this to update people that Recycle is now officially free from Reason Studios website. Enjoy!

If you use the export function within Recycle it exports the slices as separate wav slices already. Also keeps the stretches if you’ve chosen a slower tempo and then upped the stretch value to 50 or 100% or whatever. Deffo gonna use Recycle for slicing in the future as opposed to doing it on the Octatrack.
Koala app is cool for auto chop slicing. And it can separate drums, basse, voice, others…There are also stretch functions.
I am use to do sample chains in Samplitude DAW, doing equally spaced slices on a grid, then I can use directly in OT applying a slice grid.

I’ll look and see if I can add time stretching ( the sdk may already be doing it without my knowing). the point of making a command line utility was that you could then batch convert a bunch of files to slices for processing later as opposed to using ReCycle one at the time. I guess you could just Script a macro for recycle too but I’m hoping this is more flexible for someone in the future! That solves I need I have for making some web tools.
