I thought maybe it was a problem with the free JJOS, so then I tried the akai 1.24 os and then I tried the payfor jjos2. none of these are capable of making my samples loop? atleast I think i am doing evertything right.

So I go to trim mode, click the loop on, now all pads are looping, not just PAD13. but when I hit main and start playing my program, my sample isn't looping. Weirder still, it works when I use sounds and programs that are loaded into the Samplers internal memory. but all the stuff I am trying to edit is on the CF card. God, this is so frustrating, looping a sample should be the easiest thing to do in a sampler. now I dont't need it to loop without me touching the pads, i just want to change some samples from one shot to loop so when i hit small drum phrases they can loop.

Are you changing them from One Shot to Note On?

Has to be set to Note On in the Program to loop.

thanks, that somehow got lost in my research. so now I know to select "note on".

can you answer one more, is it possible to use the2500 as a computer controller, i can send midi out as sequencer data, but not by striking individual pads in the main screen

thanks so much

Change the active MIDI track, on the Main Screen, from Drum to MIDI, that should send MIDI note on/off messages from the pads into the sequencer.

Some of the JJOS versions give more extensive MIDI controller functions, being able to send MIDI messages from the front panel buttons for example.

I think you refer to feature, where buttons and some functions receive MIDI making whole MPC can be operated externally.
