Sampling drums/pads question!!

[semantics7]

hello
i'm sampling drums down to the specific length on the loop edit page. i'll try to assign those sounds to pads to achieve a sort of mpc feel. the problem is that i have to hold down the pads to make the full length play. is there any possible way to edit the pads so that just pressing them once will play the entire sound?
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit the TVA envelope generator with full release. that will do the trick.

Check out the Hold option too

hold option? are you referencing to what i said by holding down each pad or is that actually a feature on the keyboard?

Normally when working with drum samples you build a drum kit in Global and then use drum kit in a Program.

In Global mode when designing your drum kit look out for this option :

Enable Note Off Receive [Off, On]
On (checked): Note-off messages will be received. Normally
you will uncheck this. This parameter is valid when Hold
(Prog 1–1d) is checked (Hold On). In the case of a drum
program, you will normally select Hold On. In this case if
Enable Note Off Receive is checked, note-off messages will
be received, and the sound will stop (the release segment of
the EG will begin) when the key is released.

... and look for the Hold option in Program mode (on the Keyzone/Scale Page)

Hold is like permanently pressing down on the sustain
pedal. In other words, notes continue to sound as if you
were holding down the key - even after you lift your fingers
from the keyboard.

Unless the Sustain Level is set to 0 in Amp EG 1 (and Amp
EG 2 in a Double Program), the sound will play for the
entire length of the sample(s).

On (checked): The Hold function is enabled for the range
set by the Hold Bottom and Hold Top parameters, below.

Off (unchecked): Notes will play normally. This is the
default setting.

Using Hold with Drum Kits
Hold can be especially useful for drum programs, since it
lets the samples ring out naturally. In general, when you set
the Oscillator Mode to Drums, it’s good to set Hold to On.

Check out the factory dkits and programs to see how it is used there.

HTH,

p.s. in the Operations Guide in the chapter about Global mode (Settings for the Entire M3), check out the section about using/creating Drum Kits. It details use of the Hold parameter for dkits.

The Program Hold parameter can be especially useful
for drum programs, since it lets the samples ring out
naturally regardless of how long you hold down the
note. The way that this works depends on settings in
both the Program and the Drum Kit, as described
below.

To enable Hold:

1. Access the Prog P1: Basic/DT/Ctrls– Key Zone/
Scale page.
2. Under Key Zone, make sure that the Hold checkbox
is checked.
Once you’ve turned on Hold for the Program, the
function is controlled on a note-by-note basis
according to settings within the Drum Kit.
3. Access the Global P5: Drum Kit– Voice/Mixer
page.
4. For each key, set the Enable Note Off Receive
parameter as desired.
If this parameter is unchecked, the key will be held.
If it is checked, the key will not be held.
If you turn off Hold in the Program, no keys will be
held - regardless of their Enable Note Off Receive
setting.
