With quantize on, press Mute. It finishes the current loop and stops.

 From Mute you can either: a) unmute from where the loop would have been 
if 
it kept going, b) trigger the loop from the start to play once and stop, 
c) 
trigger the loop from the beginning to keep playing.

 From MIDI you have more options. At any time you can do b or c above 
without being in mute first, i.e. retrigger the loop from the beginning to 
play once, or retrigger it from the beginning to keep going. These are the 
SamplePlay and ReTrigger DirectMidi commands respectively.

You also have the sampler triggering options, where a MIDI note is 
assigned 
for each loop. The SamplerStye parameter sets how the loops are played:

"Run" means when the note comes the loop starts playing from wherever it 
last was left and keeps going.

"Once" means when the note comes the loop plays once from the start and 
stops.

"Start" means when the note comes the loop starts from the beginning and 
keeps looping.

"Attack" means when the note comes the loop plays from the beginning and 
keeps going until the note off message comes, then it stops.

The sampler triggering is also velocity sensitive. (set by the velocity 
parameter.)
