Am I being daft or can I not do what I want to do here which is to hear the sound BETWEEN the start and end locater
I see you can select all the sound regardless of start and end
zone - which plays the range between the start and end GREAT! thats what I want, but oh no! it just selects a part of the sound and I cant extend the end beyond that.

I am sampling a brass section from a funk album and wanted to sample a riff, I cant seem to be able to do it the way that I would like as above, could you advise me what I am doing wrong?

get outta zone mode and use the regular trim mode.

highlight the portion you like, then edit to new sound.
assign that new sound to a pad.. play the pad and enjoy.

cheers I have done that but again I am facing the same problem, I used a mpc1k before this and I could do it on there, but I cant seem to play from a regular start- finish like you would on cubase.

I can play all including the parts I dont want
zone
before st
before to
and after end.

Sorry but I am really confused.

Just hit the any pad when in sample edit mode to play the highlighted region. Took me a while to figure that out too!

Go into program edit mode. Hit the pad and assign the sample to the note. It is in the manual.

but this has no effect, or when i assign their is no sound

bass drum sounds gated, all the points are correct, what could this be?

nothing wrong with sampling in stereo.
