We mainly use it and Kontakt to do all of his tracks. One of the producers I work for has pretty much every Big Fish Audio release (including all the latest ones) loaded into it. RMX has some really cool features if you delve into it. The newer stuff when loaded into RMX doesn't sound dated. Big Fish Audio ( Big Fish Audio | Music Loops, Drum Loops and Virtual Instruments) still releases most of their new products as REX2/RMX and has installers that install it right into the RMX folder for you. Massive cutting-edge 7.


technology (Spectrasonics Advanced Groove Engine) Realtime auto-sync to the beat so grooves are always in time, even when performed live Groove Control is always active for optimum sound quality at virtually any tempo. It isn't the player that sounds dated, it's the samples you are listening to. Stylus RMX Features Overview: First product using new S.A.G.E. The rest the loops etc just sounded really dated.Īm I missing something here? Was looking to get it as I've read a few people use it to lay down some loops as a starting point but it sounded dated.RMX is just a player. He also had the Textured Guitar expansion and I had a little play around with it and couldn't figure out how Martinez made something from that (I have pretty much all his scores). I always thought they weren't real guitar because they sounded 100% quantised and almost hybrid sounding. I was hoping to find something along the lines of the fast picked almost U2 like guitar riffs that are on some of his scores. You can build so much new stuff with just a few basic REX loops!Īnd all the fiddling and tweaking using a mouse has become fun again on an iPad.I read something about Cliff Martinez using Textured Guitar in Stylus RMX and I had a play around on a friends system (he buys everything and does mock ups of scores for fun) and it sounded really dated. That's where the sound of the basic loop library becomes somewhat irrelevant. Sliced REX loops come to life best when you start tweaking slice positions, pitch, filter, velocities, reverse and envelopes, and put together slices from different loops. That changed everything for me.īeing able to have my whole REX collection on the iPad and from time to time build my own using ReCycle loops (you could also use Reason Lite) I was literally able to playfully compose sitting on the couch. Until 2018 when Korg collaborated with propellerheads and released their Rex player Dr Octo Rex on the iPad and iPhone as "Stockholm" inside Korg Gadget.

I've been collecting RX2 files over the years and used a few of them in Ableton from time to time, was always intrigued by Stylus but for whatever reason rarely used it. View attachment 16066 View attachment 16065
