CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 417
No Sustain Loop  Playback proceeds linearly until either the Sample End is reached
or the volume envelope completes its release stage.
Sustain Loop Enabled  Playback proceeds linearly until Loop End is reached, when it
jumps immediately to Loop Start and continues looping. If Release Mode is OFF, looping
will continue inside the Sustain Loop until the volume envelope has completed its release
stage.
Back-and-Forth Sustain Loop Enabled  Playback proceeds to Loop End, then reverses
until it reaches Loop Start, then proceeds again towards Loop End. If Release Mode is OFF,
this pattern continues until the volume envelope has completed its release stage.
Link  Enabling the Link switch sets Sample Start equal to Loop Start. Note that the Sample
Start parameter box doesn't lose its original value  it simply becomes disabled so that it
can be recalled with a single click.
Release Mode  Whenever the Sustain Loop is active, Release Mode can also be enabled.
OFF  The volume envelope's release stage is active, but will occur within the Sustain
Loop, with playback never proceeding beyond Loop End.
Release Enabled  When the volume envelope reaches its release stage, playback will
proceed linearly towards Sample End.
Release Loop Enabled  When the volume envelope reaches its release stage, playback
will proceed linearly until reaching Sample End, when it jumps immediately to Release Loop
and continues looping until the volume envelope has completed its release stage.
Back-and-Forth Release Loop Enabled  When the volume envelope reaches its release
stage, playback will proceed linearly until reaching Sample End, then reverses until it reaches
Release Loop, then proceeds again towards Sample End. This pattern continues until the
volume envelope has completed its release stage.
Sustain- and Release-Loop Crossfade (Crossfade)  Loop crossfades help remove clicks from
loop transitions. By default, Sampler uses constant-power fades at loop boundaries. But by
turning off Use Constant Power Fade for Loops in the (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context
menu, you can enable linear crossfades.
Sustain- and Release-Loop Detune (Detune)  Since loops are nothing more than oscillations,
