Hi all,



I'm trying to work out how to create loop points within a sample. My sample has a start and end point but how do I create a loop point before the end of the sample? I'm looking in the manual and can't find what I'm looking for. I can see loop options on the screen but nothing appears to happen when it's engaged.

Any ideas?

hard to tell what is happening from your description... could be a few different mistakes...

do you have looping enabled for the sample?

Are you using the loop mode pad when you trigger the sample in sample mode?

Do you have looping enabled in Program mode?

I guess not! Care to elaborate further?

let’s just start in sample edit mode... each pad has a different function... Pad 01 triggers the sample from start and plays to end... I think Pad 03 plays whatever is before start and Pad 04 I believe is after End... I might be wrong on the exact pad off hand...

Anyways, the important bit is that one of the Pads will play the bit between start/end/loop... I think it might be Pad 13 or Pad 16... just tap the pads and watch their behavior.
