that's right. You just need one of the various types of SwitchQuantize on.

yes, you can switch to any loop using MIDI. That is the LoopTriggering 
function. The loops play in various ways depending on the SamplerStyle 
setting - play from the start and keep going, play from the start once, 
play from wherever the loop was left, or play for as long as the Note is 
held down. You can also turn on Velocity sensitivity so the volume of the 
loop is controlled by how hard you hit the MIDI note.
