I'm learning to sample from my modular, and have got as far as getting a successful sample onto the pads, but when I let go of a pad the sample cuts off abruptly, though there is a long reverb tail on the sample.

Is there a way to have the sample ring out for its full length, even when letting go of the pad?

When you go into the program editor, change it from Note On (or other settings) to One Shot if you want the note to play the full length from a gate. Note On requires you to hold the pad for as long as you want the note to play.

Another option would be to adjust the envelope to have some release, so that once you let go of the pad it will continue to play a bit longer without it ending quite so abruptly.

I suggest you make 1-shot the default. Is this a setting

NOTE ON is definitely the exception, good if u want to set internal loops
