How to loop sample to infinity without holding the pad

in Maschine

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?

    @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
