Hi - an MPC noob here. So I've got a brand new Live 2 just finding my way round the new software and workflow. I created a fresh project, loaded a drum track and tried to get an LFO on a single pad sample to sync with the beat and I can't get it to work - beat is a standard 2 bar loop, the LFO pad has 4 notes recorded and all quantized. The LFO is set to sync at quarter notes with pitch being modulated by the LFO which I expected to move in time with the beat but I simply can't get it to work. Anyone out there experiencing similar issues?

Hi MPC Tutor, thanks for the response. I am noticing this on a Drum track. Keygroup seems to work OK using a different LFO menu - however on the drum track I just cannot get the LFO to work in sync. I have tried loading different samples and running different speed sequences etc but to no avail. This is regardless of destination effect used (pitch, volume, filters) , so not clear what is going on here.
