Finetune start end point lacks so impossible to create loops

How the hell can you make a perfect loop with this thing?
The encoder for start or end point jumps with 24 or more at the smallest scroll.
This makes it impossible to make good loops.
Why is there no shift option or something to make smaller steps? Or is there?
All tracks I tried to make a loop from did not work because you can not set the start or end point perfect on spot!
This is crap! You need to able to finetune!

What am I doing wrong? This must be possible!

Is 0-snap turned on or something similar?

That is when you do normal sampling and make slices I see.

What’s do is load a track in a audio track and create 1 loop in that. You don’t have the fine tune in that.
Reason I do this is because when sampling in a drumtrack I can’t seem to get loop on. I see what they say in the manual but it doesn’t work like that when I try. The slice will never loop.

Change your sample from One Shot to Note On. That should help you get to looping.
