I uploaded my first wave sample to one of the keys on my MODX doing exactly the procedure shown in this Montage video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXASiv3YfSE My sample lasts no more than 3 seconds but there is an issue with the volume that when the sample starts playing the volume sounds normal but then it immediately fades down.
I previously uploaded this same exact same sample (from the same source) to my Nord Stage 3 usring the Nord Sample Editor and doesn't fade down. My question is why it does this on the MODX ?
Off the bat it sounds like an AEG - Amplitude Envelope Generator. That's the straight-forward mechanism that would do this sort of thing.
Select element 1 within the PART with your sample. Choose the "Amplitude" -> "Amp EG" menu. Notice the Decay1 and Decay2 levels. Adjust these to either extend the time before the decay starts - or raise the level so there is not a decay.
I didn't check out the video to see if you were placing your sample as a drum key. If a drum key, there's a slightly different menu.
Select the drum key of the sample. Choose the "Level/Pan" menu. Ensure Decay2 time=hold. You can adjust other level/times to taste.

I did place my sample as a drum key because that how it shows in the video, however my sample is not a drum key but actually a guitar arpeggio.
Doesn't matter what it is - check that envelope for starters. The envelope is one mechanism for changing the volume of a sample over time. It's the "oldest" form of volume automation and most straight forward.
The other possibility is Mod/Control and interaction with MS Lanes and/or superknob automation. These are less likely (more obscure).
All of this assumes, as you've communicated, that the original sample does not decay.
Fixed, it was the decay, thank you very much.
