Reason Studios ReCycle 2.5 is a loop-slicing tool that turns sampled grooves into flexible building blocks for your tracks. It detects transients and divides recordings into rhythmic slices, retaining timing information so you can change tempo without pitching the whole loop or relying on conventional time stretching. Use it to chop drum breaks, reshape sampled riffs, or prepare material for remixes and mash-ups. Built-in Transient Shaper, EQ and Envelope tools help refine the sound, while the stretch function extends slice tails. Export your work as REX files for further arrangement in a compatible sequencer, where you can quantize grooves, replace individual hits, and build fills or variations. ReCycle suits beatmakers and sample-focused producers who like a loop’s character but want more control over its rhythm, structure and individual sounds.
