You gotta add release for both.
Program mode, edit 1,, down right,, add release.

Hi Kilmurray,

I think what you want is to change the sample play mode setting from "no loop" to "loop" or "one shot". Try which one is the one you needYou can either do this in the program zone editor:
[program > kg/mix > zone > play mode column]

Or in the sample itself:
[sample > loop/trim > play mode field]

Use the first if you don't want to change the play mode of the original sample. The zone setting overrules the sample setting. If you don't mind you can change it in the sample edit and leave the zone play mode set to "as sample".

Cheers!

If you go to programs page press the misc button you can set the poly field for the whole program 64 to 1. A setting of 1 would change the setting to mono. Also if you got to keygroup page button and next press pitch you can set the poly for each individual sample the same way. I hope it helps :D

eh, not sure what you mean mohammed... but you can choose how the sample responds to the release of the pad it is assigned to, in sample edit mode:
[sample > trim/loop F3 > play mode field > window]
You can choose between "loop until release" and "loop in release".
You can also set the play direction. forwards >>> and alternating ><>
Not to forget about the repeat time: hold, 1, 2, 3, ...

Loop only goes on when the play mode is switched to "loop" in either two locations I mentionned above.
