Is there a length limit for putting samples into songs ??
I tried, but sample playback stops after a minute ...

There's no limit mentioned in the manual - as samples are saved to SD I would have thought the sample length is only limited to storage space available?

My sample is fully loaded.
It can be fully heard if I press the pad.
When I record it in sequencer I hold the pad until the end of the sample (ex. 3 minutes) then I stop sequencer.
When I playback, the sample start but it stops playing after 1 minute.

Earlier posts have mentioned that you have to create the full song length that you want with a midi track first, otherwise the sample will cut off at the original song length....

You must switch the Gate in Sample Edit to "off", then you can play the Sample in full lenght. After "recording" the sample in the Sequencer, don't change the tempo of the song, otherwise it could happen, that the Song ends, while the sample is still playing. The sample stops also in this case - or insert a few measures to change the length of the complete song.
