Hey , does anyone know if its possible to adjust the looppoint of a sequence in jjosxl? For instance if I record an unquantised drum pattern (which i mostly record without metronome) and I like the groove of it but it just loops a little too early or late, is it possible to adjust the lenght of a sequence without moving the notes i just recorded? thanks!

No, and I doubt it would be ever a feature, cos its basically out of time. Not you, your in time but you didi 't use tap tempo so your MPC wont be and there is no way besides manually to stretch or shrink it. DAWs will allow this but yeah not MPC.

I should also add of course the usual way to fix this, I neglected to say before.

Ok, so I usually double the bars by copying the whole sequence twice, this means when you can change start point and still have all the bars to loop.
Next you can shift the events by an amount, so if your close but out by a whole beat then go to edit and shift time forwards or backwards. That will mean its shifted but if you are really out of time you can not do much except look at the sequence and rewrite it in another track or pad so it fits.
