Conventional samplers only Loop around user definable points, limiting their live  performance.  The Space Station has two Modes of Looping, designed for different  types of Waves and effects.

 
Loop Mode 1
User definable Start and End Points are placed within the Wave and used to Loop around, in a forward or forward then reverse motion, as with conventional methods.  This type of Looping is used to create endless sustain effects.

Loop Mode 2
When Looping Waves of a known Tempo and Bar length, using conventional methods will result in a timing mismatch, unless extreme accuracy is used when creating Loop Points.  Generally this type of Wave would be triggered by a Sequencer at the beginning of a Bar or Beat, removing all live performance.  The Space Stations Loop Mode 2, generates Cells that are triggered by MIDI Note's.  Cells contain trigger patterns that play the assigned Wave, and Loop around the internal or external MIDI Clock.  This type of Looping is used to enable musicians, to regain live control of Tempo dictated music, for their self's or in sync with others.  For a full listing on the Looping functions refer to the online manual or download it in PDF or HTML formats.
