One shot sample loops

2 fairly newbie quick questions

highest of fives to anyone who can help!

  1. Can you loop one shot samples? Mine just seem to play out. I have loop set to “on” sample edit page too.

  2. Is there anyway to stop sample trigs being triggered on playback without taking them off the sequencer? I’ve got this part system now, where part 1 records trigs and part 2 has a playback trig of internal sample. It’s pretty seamless. But it’s abit dangerous, as soon as you stop playback and restart you erase the sample you’ve recorded. “disarm” doesn’t seem to stop record either.

Thanks!

Of course, you can.
Set loop to ON in Playback Setup. If set to AUTO the machine will follow what you set in the Attributes Page in Audio Editor.

One Shot recorder trig is your friend.
Infact ARM/DISARM work on this kind of trigs.
You put a trig, then FUNCTION press that trig, it turns from red to solid yellow(when it’s in armed state).
Once fired or disarmed, it turns blinking red/yellow.
Arming and disarming can happen at Playback trig Level and Recorder trig Level.
It is important to understand how to interact correctly with them, if you use One-Shots ( you should ; )

thanks alot sicijk, just workin’ this out now :slight_smile:

my set up is this:

PART 1
track 1-track 5 patterns/plocks/scenes crossfade scenes
track 2-track 6 patterns/plocks/scenes crossfade scenes
track 3 oneshot rec trig 64 scale, crossfade to left

PART 2

track 7 oneshot playback trigger, 64 scale crossfade to right

it works like a peach, continuous playback of internally recorded jam.

but then when I stop playback and start again ,the sampling process starts and the recorder buffer is wiped.

I know I can save/assign sample but it seems abit fiddly.

Like sicijik said, one shot recording trigs. Then your flex track only records when it is armed.
Watch out because if you hit stop twice it will re-arm your trigs.
You can turn this behavior off (i think in the personalize menu).
