Yes, until they add in a tempo calculation function, it is either manually, or load it into some other software that will let you calculate the tempo, or do the calculation yourself, based on the length of the sample and number of beats/bars.

If the sample is 2 bars long, for example, trigger it at beat 1/bar 1 of 2 bar sequence, play it with loop on, adjust the tempo until it sounds like it loops correctly, without having an audible gap, or coming in too quickly, at the loop point.
