Retrig on/off
When this function is activated, the Phrase always plays to its end even if you release the keys “mid-Phrase”. There is one exception though: In Transpose Continue mode, the Phrase always stops immediately when you release the keys, even if Hold is turned on.
When Hold is activated, the Phrase will not Transpose or change in any other way (like when you use Repeat, Sort or Mute Play) until its end is reached. This is because when Hold is activated, the MIDI Input doesn’t change until the end of the Phrase is reached.
You can also activate a temporary Hold, by pressing a Sustain (Hold) pedal attached to your MIDI Input.This button only has any function when Hold is on and Retrig is off. When activated, the Phrase keeps repeating over and over, until you stop it by stopping Cubase VST or by turning the IPS off.
Since Looping only happens in Hold mode, the MIDI Input is only changed at the end/beginning of the Loop, so you can press (and release) the keys you want for the “next lap” at any time during the Phrase.
P Looping doesn’t work in Transpose Continue mode.
