Reverse playback when groove~ has timestretch on

Hey All,

Working on a project built around sample playback with groove~ (cause I don't want to try and do the pitch/time decoupling myself) and was wondering if there's an obvious technique I am missing to reverse playback when timestretch is turned on. Negative signals stop playback. Is playing with loop min/max settings the answer?

Wow. You're right. I've been doing this long enough, I shouldn't be making mistakes like this anymore. Thanks!
