"0rdinary" Loops on Electribe Sampler

Post by squigges »

Hi all,

I understand the loop feature for loop samples and how it works, but is there really no way to simply choose any sample and instantly loop it like on the volca sample? I mean just a simple button that you press that makes a sample play over and over repeatedly for as long as you hold down the key...which you can then modify the start and end on the fly...?

I am guessing this is not possible as I can't find it anywhere...or am I overlooking something incredibly obvious?

It's not that obvious :)
You have to go to the menu "Sample Edit", select the wav you want to loop and then change the Loop Point and End Point of the sample - depending on how long the loop should be. You can prelisten and adjust the loop in that menu. You have to trust your ears as there's no visualization of the waveform.
As soon as the loop point is not the same as the end point, you can press down a pad and the loop will play over and over again.

But what if you want the end point to be the loop point?

It's a loop "from here" point, not a loop "to here" point. The end of the sample is always the end of the loop too.

There's a toggle in the sample manager software to turn on loop. Highly recommended download.

You mean the Java code freeware? I tried it and noticed a "loop" column in the table. But unfortunately when I tried to reload the sample file into the sampler I got an error message.

Yes. No issues with mine. I'd start with a fresh all samples file and see if that helps.

Sorry, what do you mean by an "all samples file"?
