My guess is that the MPC loops fine, it´s your pattern that is out of sync. But I could be wrong.

Check this:

Do you have Time Correction activated? If so, which setting?

Do you make your simple drum pattern in the same BPM as the sequencer is running?

Do you listen to the metronome as you beat the pattern out?

OK, all that seems right. Could try to switch TC to 1/32 or turn it off completely. But it wouldn´t be all out of sync if you´re doing as you claim.

How is the loop behaving?
Does it loop before it reach the end of the seq?
Does it loop at the end of the seq but speeding / slowing down during the seq?

Try to describe it as close as possible, "loops all out of sync" is a little hard to visualize, or auralize.

If you switch off the loop and just pllay the seq from start to finsh, is the pattern tight and tidy then?

How is the loop behaving? -- loops right on time

Does it loop before it reach the end of the seq? -- loops at the end of the seq like suspose

Does it loop at the end of the seq but speeding / slowing down during the seq? -- Loops at the end of sequence, but pattern jumps off beat.

Try to describe it as close as possible, "loops all out of sync" is a little hard to visualize, or auralize. -- Its like this.. If I do a Boom Boom Click .. it plays back as a Boom Boomclick , as in timing

Switch up the TC to 1/32 or disable it completely. It´s not the looping but the quantize.
