"Play From" (Pad 15)

"Play From" (pad 15) only plays a short part of the sample after the selected portion. Normal?
If it is normal, shouldn't it play all the sample from that point on til the end? I love the feature, but it would be nice if it could do that.
Might have been addressed before, but I thought I'd bring it up again.
I'm running 4.78.

Also. just wondering, how many of you use the for "Play From" pad?

Strange Poll questions. Because what you really want to know is, if the "PLAY FROM" function should be changed, so it plays to the end of the sample or if the function should remain "as is". I think if we use this function or not is not the issue here, right? May you should reformulate the poll, so it's referring to what you want to know...

peace

My bad yall. I actually wanted to know 2 separate things. I wanted to know if Play From works the same for everyone, and also how many people use it. My poll wasn't to gain numbers to get it changed. I was just curious how many people use it. Just wanted to see if it was buggin' so I could report it to JJ. If it works fine than I guess its all good.
I use it when I remember it, and I wish I remembered more cause its a great lil feature that's really helps me out.

play til: plays ALL of sample til selected point
play FROM: plays only a snippet of sample AFTER selected point.

difference: play til plays entire sample TIL point, while FROM only plays a little bit.

i agree that it would be better if play from played more than just a snippet.

Word. That's exactly what I mean Nym. The Play Til plays all up until the selected region, but Play From doesn't play the whole rest of the sample.
Now that I know its not just me, do the rest of you think it should play the rest too? Maybe we could get this added in? Doesn't seem like it would take a lot of space on the OS. New Poll?

The PLAY TO (or "play til" as you call it), only plays about 2 seconds before selected end point. Not the entire sample. It would be hell if it'd play the whole thing.. more precise useless, as you could just use pad 1 - 12 for that purpose.

I don't use the PLAY FROM much, and I can't see why it should play longer than it already does (2-3 seconds).

you're right bawls, play to does skip ahead, and it should.

it seems that the same rule applies in reverse to PLAY FROM
which it shouldn't since there's no "urgency" like there is with PLAY TO

Why would it be bad if it played the whole rest of the sample or the whole beginning up until the selected region? Cause it would play too much of the sample? Cause other pads do that?
I think it would be good cause sometimes I chop whole 8 bar choruses and the first 4 bars and last 4 bars sound the same but have lil differeneces that I want to chop and be in the same program when I go to creat new program. Play from would be great if it played all the way so I can get a btter idea of how far I am form the later set of 4 bars. Hope I explained that clearly. LOL.
