loop modes

In the manual, there are several loop modes discussed. However, in the pull-down menu in the loop editor, there are a couple that are missing. Namely, the "back-and-forth" modes:

End <->
Release <->

I'm using the latest release. What happened to these loop modes?

 

Anyone? Are there any reps from the company around? Has anyone managed to figure out how to do back-and-forth looping in 1.5?
Has it been removed since the manual was written?

 

I haven't checked this, but this might be due to the dfd being activated. When a sample is in memory, kontakt can freely play it any way it likes but when it is streaming from disk it kind of reads it as it's written down.

Simple solution would be to deactivate the dfd function for the instrument you want to use the <-> loop modes for and see if you get the options.

Hope this helps.

 

change from dfd to sampler mode and it´ll work

 

Yes, I was using DFD. I'll try it when I get home tonight, but that makes much sense (that back-and-forth is not really a streaming function so wouldn't work under DFD). It would be nice if the menu
items at least grayed-out or something. And the last manual was written before DFD was out, so that would be why there was no mention of it not working under DFD there. Hopefully the next manual will have something about it.

It would also be nice if they did something like Steinberg with Cubase, where the help functions and "?" cursor in the program actually bring up relevant, useful, and often quite complete information about whatever topic you're looking at.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation. I like it when software, even its limitations, makes sense
