How to loop sample to infinity without holding the pad

hynekst

Good evening,

I have recently bought the Maschine+ and it works great. I just cannot find one thing, that is important to me. I want to import sample, then press pad with this sample and it should loop to infinity, without holding the pad.

When I set the sample as One-shot, it cannot be looped. When ADSR, I have to hold it. And when AHD, it plays max for 7 seconds.

Is there even that option? I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io7va2QA1zI where he is looping drum sample and he has exactly the behaviour I need - drum sample is playing again and again without holding the pad. How could I achieve this? Thank you!

In the video, the sample is not looping indefinitely. He's hitting at the beginning at the loop and then he records the pattern by hitting the pad at the beginning of the loop/bar.

You only have to hold it if the Audio Plug is in Gate mode, set it to Loop and it will loop forever as long as it's activated in the current Pattern and the Project is playing. If the Audio Plug is inactive do what Jeremy said.

Use the Audio module instead of the Sampler.

I've tried it, but I also have to hold the pad to play audio module. Or am I doing anything wrong?

"Latch function" doesn't exist in maschine

@hynekst I didn't watch all of that video (and you didn't refer to any particular part) but the reason the loop plays continuously after he's truncated it is.........he records a pattern.

I'd suggest reading the Maschine+ manual.

Using the audio plugin is clunky (you cant press the pad to turn of continuous looping - sure, you can use the pattern mode to trigger on/off but it doesn't behave in the way you would want) and unnecessary steps to get to a rather basic functionality imo . NI should implement a more intuitive sample trigger mode function in their sample. Seems like an easy layup - In the sampler, choose one shot, loop, gate, etc. Standard and simple in almost any sampler. That way a Maschine MK3 can act as a sample instrument like an SP404 MK2 where you have different playback modes, envelopes, and done quickly with a single press of a button. Maschine is an incredible tool but too many things seem needlessly complicated...even after reading the manual.

bro just use Raum's looping functionality, you can loop anything with it, not just samples

People are sleeping on Raum. It's not just a reverb, its also a looper

My Main tool is RAUM, from the first time I used RAUM I become impressed and it's main tool till this day.

1/ user Ozon - Can you tel me how to choose to use a sampler module vs a audio module? when i click on the kk S49 encoder to select a one shot it comes up with the audio module but i want it to come up with the sampler module (ie how do i click which module it walloper?)

2/ users (everyone) - i'm new to these forums and discussions. How do i select a certain user / answer / reply, and reply to that user/answer/reply? i can't see a reply button anywhere..? just flag, quote vote and funny

1) The browser section (and tags) define how samples are loaded - "One-Shot" loads in the Sampler, and "Loops" load in the Audio Module. I dont own a KKS Mk1/mk2 but pressing down on the big encoder should give you a list of internal modules to switch between Sampler and Audio

2) you can tag people with @ like you just did or click "Quote", its right next to the other options you mentioned.

I don’t have a KK keyboard, so I don’t know either. Please check D-One‘s answer for the rest.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy!

Load loop in Sampler and don't use ADSR just default with one voice and once you press note it will play whole Audio if you want to have endless loop then ajust loop in Sampler and make pattern as long you want.

Length is surprisingly Long and in Arranger I get to 2200bar and stopped but I could go longer.

One note will be playing whole Audio and for repeat you need Loong Note.

If you use synced Audio then you can adjust pattern with Sampler and one short Note and you will get repeat.

Loop can play infinitely so having that in mind you can make long pattern or clip, whatever and then make loop in Sampler on the 3rd page. You can use different BPM and record several different Loops and Play them at once. You also have Module you mentioned. When you don't need it and you want it in sampler just click with 4D encoder and replace it with Sampler.

That's it. I wish you success actually I wish everyone success and I would rather listen to music made with Maschine.
