then clearly identified as a jump. This is not the case with a ping pong
loop, since there is no "hard" transition here, but the looping is always fluid
between the end and the beginning.
Special feature of the loop
At this point it should be mentioned that it will not always be easy or some-
times even impossible to find a suitable loop. This is especially due to how
the loop point for the U must be addressed. Furthermore, it depends on
the digital representability of the frequency thus the loop length. In addi-
tion, there is the compression of the sample.
To support you as good as possible in the search of a (also technically
feasible) loop, we have implemented an algorithm. Whenever you change
the loop point or the end point of the sample, it checks whether the loop is
feasible. This is indicated by the coloring of the loop offset.
If the address is red, you can be sure that the loop will not work, or the de-
vice does not read this address as it is written on the card.
However, if the address is green, there is a reasonable suspicion that the
loop works like this. If you additionally place your loop and end point on a
zero crossing, you increase the chance enormously. If you also increase
the loop length, the loop should work well.
As a basic principle, it can be said that short loops are difficult to imple-
ment. You should therefore always go for longer loops.
In addition, you should always lower the volume of the U to test your loop.
A wrong loop can lead to loud noise due to the sample compression,
which is how you can always recognize a wrong loop.
You might be wondering if we could have done something about this. The
answer is no. We can't do anything about the way the device works. We
can only provide you with a suitable tool that will make your life much eas-
ier.
