I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, but I think what you select would vary by sample and what you are trying to do.
For example, let's say you have a 1 bar sample (100 BPM) and you want to create a 90 BPM sequence where you trigger the sample one time at the beginning and it plays all the way to the end of the sequence. Since the tempo of the sample is higher than that of the sequence, the sample will stop playing before the end of the sequence. You need to somehow match the tempos so the sample doesn't end too early or too late.
There are a couple ways you could do this:
1. You could speed up or slow down the sample by changing the tuning (but this will also change the pitch of the sample).
2. You can use the Time Stretch feature to change the tempo of the sample (this method will keep the samples pitch the same). You could time stretch the sample by entering 100 BPM for the "Orig" tempo and 90 BPM for the "New" tempo. Now your sample that was originally 100 BPM will play back at 90 BPM. If you try to time stretch too much the sample will start to sound bad.
Even using these methods things may not line up perfectly (especially if you are using a long sample). In these situations you may need to chop the sample up into smaller pieces along with using the methods above to get everything to line up correctly.
Hope this helps. Someone else may have a better answer. I'm new to all this and learning through trial and error.
later you'll find what you want and what to set the bar count on.
