to play it.

pad to play it, and release the pad to stop playing it. Alternatively, select the headphones icon in the upper-right
corner, and then tap and hold your finger on the waveform.
Play Loop Continuous (Pad 16) plays the sample repeatedly using the mode set by the Loop button (Forward,
Reverse, or Alternating; if the Loop button is off, the sample will loop forward repeatedly).

play it, and release the pad to stop playing it.
