    4:11… you see how when you click the play button on the sample, it only plays for as long as the mouse button is down? how do i set it so that it plays the entire sample when i click it, and not have to hold the mouse button down? ::

    hi, this is not an insert, it is an internal return track. an insert would ‘insert’ the effect into the signal chain. this plays the original audio unaffected and allows for ’sending’ to the return track. hope this helps

    Is there any way to increase the release passed 60? I find if I have a 4-6 second loop assigned to a pad, it loses velocity/volume after 2-3 seconds…

    Nice tip on the Multis. I didn’t know that assigning them all to the same trigger would group them together as a Multisample on the DrumRack. Now I know. I really appreciate your time!

    Very helpful! I’ve been using drum racks for a while but never knew you could group the internal tracks! Will save a lot of space and allow much more on one rack! thanks guys!
