as far as I know the Rex format is so proprietary that other apps can't generate it. In other words, it sucks. There are tons of other options, though - some are heaps better than Recycle, even. Here are a couple: 1) Phatmatik Pro. It's a vsti plugin that can slice any wavefile and it can be used to play it back. It's an awesome product, and it's now being developed by the equally awesome iZotope people. It's 149$, has filters, envelopes, all of that. It even stores the slice-information inside a file that can be read as a regular wavefile - so no .rex file redundancy going on. www.izotope.com 2) vSampler. It's a full vsti sampler, and it can run in rewire mode as a standalone if you so desire. The beat-slicing is so efficient that it's unbelievable. It's no problem slicing up a bunch of loops and placing them after each other across the keyboard. It's 149€, immensely cool, and can be found here: www.vsampler.com I started with ReCycle. realized that I hated it, switched to Phatmatik, which I still own and love, and then I found out that I needed massive amounts of sample-mappings in my set, so I upgraded to vSampler. Compare those to recycle, which is flippin' 229 euros! Eeek! So even though you won't be able to play it in Stylus, you'd be getting more options at a lower price. just my 0.02€.
