Funky Rex Guitars:
Interlocked Groove Edition: Many of the
best-known classic funk songs employ a dual guitar
approach: scratchy rhythms come from one speaker
while slinky, single note riffs come from the
other. Using a wide range of six-string
interplay variations, Funky Rex
Guitars applies this
approach to nearly all of its 40+ mini-song suites
of loops.
With guitar tones ranging from single coil Strats
to humbucking hollow bodies, most loops have been
recorded clean, dry and non-effected and are both
immediately useable and easily customized for
placement into the mix.
As part of the BPM Flex
Series™, every loop in
the collection can be used at virtually any
tempo without artificial stretching or unwanted
audio artifacts, making this one of the most
flexible funk guitar libraries on the market.
So whether you need a groove for inspiration, a
lick to light up the dance floor or a riff to
breathe life into any retro or modern track,
Funky
Rex Guitars: Interlocked Groove Edition
brings
what you need.

- Using Funky Rex Guitars within Stylus RMX requires the user to drag-and-drop only one folder into RMX’s included SAGE Converter.
- The DVD and download contains a Reason Refill and a separate folder with the REX2 files. This allows the loops to be used in any program that supports the REX2 format.
- Funky Rex Guitars contains Apple Loop and ACIDized Wav formats.
- Guitar tones used: Danelectro U2, Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, Gibson ES-137 Classic, Gibson Les Paul and Gibson ES-335.

"Rundfunk" by Hans Scheffler - this demo features a handful of the 400 loops from Funky Rex Guitars. Other sounds and loops featured in this song come from Nine Volt Audio's Stylin Basslines and Beat Bandit and Spectrasonic's Retro Funk and Stylus RMX.
This demonstrates the power and flexibility of the BPM Flex Series™. We've selected two loops from the Funky Rex Guitars "Stratosphere" suite of loops. The loops begin playing at 120 BPM, slowing next to 110 BPM, then 100 and so-on until it stops playing at 70 BPM. Notice how the loops remain intact and rhythmic at every tempo - using no artificial stretching. You can expect similar flexibility from any of the BPM Flex Series™ of loops.
