Toggling between drum loops with Electribe

Hey all
Im a fairly new Electribe user. What Im trying to achieve for one live performance is basically as if you would play with a rhythm section of a old casio and toggle between the different patterns.

So far I sampled to the Electribe each pattern in the desired tempo and in the Sample Edit settings made it a loop so whenever the part is pressed it is played eternally over and over.

What would be nice is:

1. if I could press it down without holding
2. potentially when pressing another part - the one which is being played already stops
3. whenever a new part is played - it would be played from the beginning of the sample, but from the middle of the sample, as if there is a tempo running sequence running.

I don't know if I explained myself well - but whoever fooled around playing drum loops by toggling between drum patterns on an old keyboard - should probably understand what I mean.
I also don't know how far out is this idea to achieve with the Electribe - but let me know you thoughts and idea, maybe even fulfilling point 1 & 2 would be a major progress.

cheers and thanks!

I'm not fully understanding what you are asking but I think you have two samples and you want to toggle between them

With a sample assigned to a pad you can mute and unmute.

Or have two patterns that you switch between.

You can slice all the drumloops, and then toggle between them, in a makeshift legato mode. I did a tutorial on this about 6 years ago or so:

Hey that sounds actually cool and it's more or less waht Im describing.
In terms of settings thouhg - what will I need to do on the each 'part's settings in order for it to run in loops without keeping the finger pressing ?

as a newbie ES2 user there is still a lot i can learn on it.

thanks!

ok..
I understand now you have them all playing simultaneously and you are simply muting / unmuting.
it make sense.

I have to see try it. Trial and error thing

thanks!
