LOOP

Pressing loop will display this screen:
The waveform display shown to the left of the screen shows an overview of the waveform and the
loop points. The loop length is shown above this display
IN/OUT.
The smaller waveform display shown to the right of the screen shows the 'loop join' point at the
waveform level. You can use ZOOM IN to magnify this display in order to match the waveform
more precisely. The parameters on the LOOP page are:
LOOP START/END
PLAY MODE
14 In UTILITIES - PREFERENCES, you can choose to display the loop length in time (i.e. minutes
and seconds) or in sample points. The screen shot shown above displays the loop length in
time.
Version 1.21
These set the start and end of the loop. Unlike previous Akai samplers,
these are set independently of each other. Loop START and END times
cannot be set beyond the TRIM page's START and END times.
This allows you to set how the sample will play. The choices are:
NO LOOPING This selection causes the sample to play without
loops for as long as the key is held down. If the
sound is not long enough, it will finish even though
you are holding down a note. If the sample is still
sounding, however, as soon as the key is released,
the sound will stop.
ONE SHOT This will cause the sample to be played in its entirety
regardless of how long the key is pressed. This is
useful for triggering drums or 'phrases' as an
instantaneous trigger signal or key press will play
the whole sample and the key does not have to be
held down for the whole length of the sample.
LOOP IN REL When a key is pressed, the sample will loop according
to the LOOP settings for as long as you hold the key.
When the key is released, the loop will continue to
play as the release falls away (this depends on the
settings of the envelope generators in EDIT
PROGRAM).
