ok i've searched so much on how to do this. here it is: how do i make my own reason refills. i got the refill packager but it doesn't save the full file, just the sample thing. (sxt file or whatever, and not the wav file that actually contains the sound) so if i delete the original full refill that i got this 1 sound from, it tells me i have to insert a disk that has that refill. what i want to do is pick sounds from certain refills, and just choose and copy them and make my own, so i don't have to have gigs and gigs of refills on my harddrive ( i only have a 20gb hd). is this possible?

No, not legally. Refills are copyrighted and you're not going to be able to just copy sounds from one to another. There is a refill unpacker, I know nothing about it but I know it will allow you to take anything you want out of a refill so that you could mix and match. It's unofficial, definitely unsupported, and I'm not really sure that it's legal but it's still an option I guess.

Larger drives are not all that expensive these days. And with a program like Norton Ghost, you can copy your entire HD on to the new one. Then you will have the old one for backup. This might be the easiest thing to do.

thanks for the replies. i am now wondering how to just make my own refill with wav files. lets say i wanted to record something, then use the wav as a refill. now, would i have to record more than 1? i see the refills are made as separate wav files for 1 effect. for example, maybe like 15 files for one sxt file. question 1. how do i even make an sxt file? question 2. would i have to record more than 1 wav? question 3. how would i even map the wav sounds to the keyboard? man this stuff is complicated. please help. thanks. i downloaded recycle, but i don't know if that's the way to go; what i'm looking for.

sorry for the late response, i'm hoping you'll actually read this...

1] sxt file is the file of the PATCH. not the SAMPLE. basically the patch tells the NNXT what samples to load, and what values to set some of the controls to.

2] no, technically you don't have to record more than one sample. if you look at the NNXT remote sampler for a while you'll see that it has an LCD monitor of a keyboard, sort of in a graph form. You can arrange seperate samples to certain key ranges, like Bass drum to notes c3 through e3, snare notes fb through c4.

here's a good tutorial that will show you how to do a lot of what you want, it covers a lot of the NNXT but i couldn't find one on how to use it to make refills, but then again i didn't search more than twice.

dr.rex would not really be for sampling, it's for variable-tempo loops. you see with reason it doesn't timestretch like some daws like ableton live do. this is where the whole sample is stretched timewise while still retaining the correct pitch. reason can't do this, though, and uses dr,rex instead, where instead of changing the tempo of the whole sample, it changes the amount of space between beats, called slices, if that makes any sense to you. it depends what you're sampling but i'd almost definitely use Soundforge (if you have it) or audacity (open source freeware) if you don't. actually the audacity plugins make it able to do pretty much all soundforge can.

goodluck.
