Playback mode

The Playback mode selects how the sample will be played. If you want to use legato (*) playing to play
a melody different than the original sample, choose "Time Sync." If you want the sample to play back
from the beginning each time you press a key, choose "Retrigger."
* "Legato" originally means to "play smoothly," but here it refers to the technique of playing the next key
(note-on) before releasing the previous key (note-off) so that the sound is never halted.
