ReCycle! Audio Loop Format | Propellerhead Software | Audio Files |
The RX2, aka REX2, is a widely used audio file format developed by the leading DAW software Propellerhead Reason. This audio format is optimized for loops and samples and is used in many audio applications including Ableton Live, Cubase and Reason. It is ideal for working with beats and creating musical percussion.
The RX2 file extension provides user with uncompressed audio files of non-progressive bitrate encoded in linear PCM format. Each file contains audio sample loop along a timeline that’s structured according to the number of beats it has while maintaining the bit depth and sample rate.
File Construction Detail
The samples can be arranged into four banks, which increases the range of usable sounds, by covering up to 64 individual samples within one REX2 file. When loading an RX2 file into a virtual sampler, it will automatically recognize the root note and length of each sample. For the supported DAWs, the files contain an embedded data chunk to provide the metadata regarding slices contained in the audio. This file information includes mapping info regarding start/end positional information.

Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RX2) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RX2 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RX2 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RX2 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RX2 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RX2 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RX2 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RX2 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RX2 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RX2 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
