Rx2 to octatrack converter

Hey there, I thought I’d share a little script I made for my own workflow, but that might be useful to someone else.

It’s a command-line program that converts ReCycle .rx2 files to .wav files plus slices metadata in .ot format (thanks to Esa Juhani Ruoho whose code this is based on). You can then put these on Octatrack’s SD card. The ReCycle format is popular for sliced breaks, so you might have encountered it in some sample packs. To generate .ot file just type

rx2slices -octa my_favourite_break.rx2

There is additionally a Python script that can export .rx2 into Bitwig’s .multisample file to be used inside Bitwig’s sampler, or a .dawproject file, where it puts a bunch of input files as clips on separate tracks, converting slice starts into warp markers. Check out the detailed instructions under the link below

Thank you for this! I’m excited to give it a try.

With Recycle now being available for free, it will be a nice alternative to the tedious process of slicing on the OT.

Hello!
Is it possible to imagine a script or a program to convert rx.2 in wav with metadata gor slice in digitakt2?
Because, the slicing on dt2 is very very booooooring!

Sorry for my language. I’m not english.

I have dt1 so I was not following what was happenning with dt2. Does it have proper slicing now? I will try to look into that. Can you save some presets that have sliced samples in Elektron Transfer and send me the .dt2pst files with some sliced samples or give a link to a samplepack with such files?
