Multi-Sampler Feature Request: Backwards & Ping-Pong Looping

[gavindi]

Hello Devs, you sexy beasts!

As the title says, I wish to proffer a feature request for different loop modes in the multi-sampler.

That is all for now. Keep up the awesome work.

Gavin.

Backwards is already in there, isn't it?

I don't think so. You can reverse the sample, yes, but I think it only supports forward looping.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of.... I can't quite work out the difference at the moment, it's been a long day. What would backwards looping do that looping reversed samples wouldn't?

Well, I don't want to play the whole sound backwards rather just a section. My use case is that I'm using single-cycle waveforms like a pulse-wave and I modulate the pulse width to give the sound "movement". If I forward loop the PWM then you can clearly hear its disjointed as the duty-cycle of the pulse width doesn't match on both ends of the loop. If I could ping-pong the looped section, the duty-cycle will match on both ends

I could get around this by editing the sample outside of W9 but that's more work and considering how many variations I use of these waveforms, I could spend months just editing samples.

I don't know if I've explained that well. I hope so!
