14.5. Playback Behavior of Audio Plug-In in Host Software
When you start playback in your host software, the loop will be triggered and play continuously.
However, the loop will only be audible in locations where you placed notes in the host sequencer.
Furthermore,  when  you  use  the  playback  engine  mode  Stretch,  the  pitch  of  the  loop  will  be
transposed based on the pitch of the note used. For example, note C3 will play the sample at its
original pitch, while C4 will play the sample at one octave higher.
You can also play loops with the keyboard in your host software:
• When the transport is not running, you can trigger the loop by pressing a key.
• When  the  transport  is  running and  you  press a  key, a  gate  will open  at  the  positions  where
notes are placed in the host sequencer.
For more information on playback engine mode, refer to Audio Plug-In.
