recycle_pdkIt’s a bit of a Propellerheads themed day today, so here’s part two.. That daddy of all beat slicing software has stuck around and competed with many contenders in the ‘warping’/'transient cutting’ guises of Ableton’s Live, Apple’s Loop utility, Phatmatik Pro, Intakt, and Digi’s Transfuser, etc. But the staying power and versatility of ReCycle 2.1‘s REX based architecture has held steady. As if to remind us all that this is still possibly the best of the bunch, the pro-active so ‘n so’s over in Sweden have a new ReCycle microsite.

The site contains a few basic ‘how to’ guides, discusses the REX file concept, show’s you how to go ‘beyond the groove’ (like it), and then of course, an opportunity to buy the very in-depth and probably worthwhile ‘Ask’ ReCycle tutorial dvd. I must admit to being a fan of ReCycle. Most of my archived loops are in REX format and I find the creative possibilities are vast and varied when using the transient shaping area to ‘sound shape’.
