Using Loops
Once you create some loops in a sample, you can determine the way loops will behave
when you assign that sample to a voice. For this, go to the Voice Processing page.
Playing Back Loops
Loop playback is very flexible, and you can assign continuous controllers, or even
ranges of keys to determine which loop plays at any given time. When you assign each
voice a sample containing one or more loops, by default, the loop behaves as follows:
• For each voice, you select which loop you want to repeat by using the Loop (n)
knob in the Voice Processing window. The default loop is Loop 1.
•The Start At Loop button controls where playback begins. With Start
At Loop turned on, playback begins at the beginning of the loop you
selected using the Loop (n) knob. With it turned off, playback begins
at the beginning of the sample.
• Once playback reaches the endpoint of the loop you selected in the Voice
Processing window, it repeats that loop until you release the note.
Loop Select and Start At Loop
For example, let’s say a sample has two loops, and you select Loop 1 in the Voice
Processing window. When you play the note, the sample will begin at the beginning of
the sample. When it reaches Loop 1’s end point, it will jump back to Loop 1’s start
point. Loop 1 will repeat until you release the note.
Here is a visual representation:

Using Loops
Tip: If you want to
trigger loops with your
keyboard and have them
continue playing without
having to hold the note,
set the voice to Latch in
the Voice Processing
window.
Tip: You can sustain
loops by holding down a
footswitch. When you
want all sound to stop,
release the footswitch.
