Hey Murma - what software are you using?

Do you mean that you want to adjust the loop rate in the software, so that when you hold down the pad it loops that sample just at the speed you have it setup?

i want a single snare sound to loop while i have the pad pressed kinda like it was stuck playing untill i take my finger off does that make sense? and being able to alter the rate it repeats would be nice. thank you for help.

Yup cool - I was going to suggest Battery, I know thats got all sorts of envelope effects that can be applied to individual samples, for looping and so on. I think even some of the standard Battery kits have some drums and snares which have loop envelopes too
