The loop will continue to cycle until the key is
let go (or the A6 receives a MIDI Note Off). If
you're using a sustain pedal, the loop will
cycle as long as the pedal is down.
The loop will cycle infinitely. There are,
however, differences between infinite looping

literally loop forever or until you change to
another Program or power the A6 off.

they will loop until the Release 2 time of
reaches its 0 level.
This parameter determines how the loop
cycles.
The loop cycles normally in a forward
direction. Smoothing and Count settings will
be in effect.
The loop cycles backward through the stages.
Smoothing and Count settings will be in effect.
"Rock-n-Roll": The loop cycles backward and
forward through the stages. Count settings
will be in effect but Smoothing is ignored as it
is not needed.

When a loop repeats, it is quite possible that
the level of the start stage will be different than
the level of end stage. This may cause the
envelope to sound uneven or choppy each
time the loop cycle starts over.
While this may be desirable in some cases (just
set to ), you can adjust the transition
SMOOTH 0
into the level of the start stage to be gradual,
accomplished by a function called smoothing.
This parameter sets the amount of time
smoothing will take where
is maximum, approximately 32
65535
seconds.
Selects the slope that the Smooth Time will
follow during the smoothing transition.
These curves are the same as the envelopes'
