6.8 Loop Play Modes
Three loop playback modes exist, forward loop, backward loop and
pingpong loop. All of these three play modes have similar functions and
only differ in their playback direction.
The note value, tempo and pattern length will also affect how the sample
plays. A higher note value will play the sample faster. A lower note value will
play the sample slower. Triggering the instrument step will trigger the sample
once and it will continue to play for its duration in loop until another trigger is
initiated or the pattern ends.

Sample
Forward
Loop
Sample plays forwards from start to the end, then restarts back to the start.
Playback continuously loops start to end until another trigger or the pattern ends
Backward
Loop
Sample plays from the start position to the loop end, then restarts from the loop
end, playing in reverse. Playback continuously loops in reverse within the loop
start / end points until another trigger or the pattern ends
Pingpong
Loop
Sample plays from the start position to the loop end, then plays in reverse to the
the loop start, then plays forwards to the loop end. Playback continuously loops
forward and backwards through this cycle until another trigger or the pattern ends
Sample playback is initially triggered and while ever the pattern plays it will continue to loop.
