How do you get a sample to loop by striking the key only once?  I know you
can loop a wav by holding down a key, or hearing it once by highlighting
"one shot".  How do you toggle the loop on and off by tapping a key once for
loop on, then once for loop off?
Thanks in advance.

Touch tracks - in the environment.

No, I'm trying to trigger samples from drum pads.  I want to hit the drum pad and have the sample loop continuously, then hit the pad to stop the loop.
Any ideas on how the EXS24 should be set?

You should still be able to do this with touch tracks. Instead of a  
midi note from a keyboard being the trigger note, it will be  
generated from a midi drum pad. Same principle applies. The touch  
track will need to be your track instrument. Set it up inside the  
touch tracks object so the loop you want to control corresponds to  
the note number the pad generates.

I think I see the light my friend.  Create new instrument in the environment, under touch tracks.  Place sample there...I believe.  Going to try it now.  Thanks a bunch.  I'll post when it works..haha

Triggering an audio loop though, not a sequence.  It works great for sequences, but for audio loops to just loop, how would you do that?

Set up an EXS instrument with your loop loaded in and trigger that  
through the touch tracks.

In the EXS editor, each zone can be set to loop. There is a tickbox.

Yes.  Each sample has a loop toggle on it.  I am trying to just touch the key to trigger a looped sample though.  Hit the key once for on, once for off.  By having the loop box checked, it allows you loop, but the key needs to be held down.  This topic has escaped everyone so far.  Anyone know?

You can assign MIDI control number 64 (sustain) to note on events. I believe note velocities 
from 64-127 will turn sustain on, while velocities from 1-63 will turn sustain off. You might 
also try creating a dummy Zone (with no sample assigned) and assign that, along w/ your 
loop, to a Group that is allocated only one voice. This way you can use the dummy Zone for 
muting the loop.

A correction to my previous post: You need to load a sample into the dummy zone in 
order for it to be used as a mute control. Also, velocity doesn't seem to have an effect on 
the sustain (hold) control. It seems that you can only turn sustain on, but not off using 
note values. However, the system I laid out does allow you to toggle a loop.
