when a sample is set to loop in trim can the pad only beset

so when i trim a sample and set it to loop it wont let me switch it from note off to poly or mono? is this because when it is set to loop?

i though if it was set to loop i could hit it once and it would just loop until i hit it again?

no you cant.. kind of sucks.. you have to hold the pad when loop is on.

damn that stinks

side note thank you for answering so quickly because i have been sitting here for a half hour trying to figure it out and i now do not have too lol

ah no problem... the loop mode can be used to create some awesome stuff though..

check this out haha

Yeah with the velcoity assignments, note repeat and looping its basically like having an el cheapo wavetable/grainular synth in there.

^^just like any other sampler (with loop function = most of them)

I said grainular as well for a reason.... Ever heard of a grain cloud? Try making one on another sampler in only a few moments, and non destructively. I'm not saying its not possible on other machines (asr/mv8000) but its beyond just looping a single cycle....

it's way easier + more powerful on an asr / ensoniq / emu - almost any non-akai sampler
it works on an mpc but its a hack

doing it on an ensoniq with aftertouch is a crazy experience

as for the op - if you sequence your beat and use track mutes its almost the same thing.
when i was new to the sampler world i thought it was a missing feature too - but then i soon realised it is not that big a deal if you know what you are doing.

No doubt, I think the asr implements it best. But I was just trying to point out that I meant beyond single cycle looping. But when I'm live jamming, I do really enjoy it on he mpc despite the hackness of it all, using the nv slider, and doing it to multiple sounds at once. I actually think it has really great implementation in terms of polyphonic "grainulizing". Better than actual grain synths for live jamming/creating.

yea i agree - it is a real fun trick.

ps. its 'granular'

Fml I write grainular because when I was learning about synthesis years ago I remembered granular synthesis by thinking about it like "grains of sand" so it got stuck as grainular. Lol. I'll have to write a post it again
