In Loop Trig mode, you trig the REX loop to play one single cycle every time you hit the assigned pad. Loop Trig
can also be used together with the “Stop” mode on another pad to immediately stop the loop playback, see “Stop”

• Chunk Trig
In Chunk Trig mode, you can assign several pads to play back shorter sections - chunks - of the REX loop. The
number of chunks is determined by the number of pads you have assigned to the REX loop using the Chunk Trig
Hit Type. The chunks are distributed in equal sections across the REX loop. Chunk Trig can also be used together
with the “Stop” mode on another pad to immediately stop the chunk playback, see “Stop” below.
In the picture below, we have assigned four pads to the same REX loop and we have selected “Chunk Trig” as Hit
Type on all four pads:
