Here a formula for setting rhythm loops.
Math
Convert the loop to a musical value by loop lentgh.
Multiply sampling rate x the length or the rhythm unit
The rhythm unit is equal to 60 secs / BPM
As follow 60secs/120bpm=.5 rhythm unit of one quarter note.
Sampling rate of 44100 kHz x.5rhythm unit =12500 loop length
Go to sample edit page set the loop end to 12500 samples and loop end to length. Now that you have a quarter note loop within a 2bar phrase all you have to do is adjust the loop start with the slider holding down the active button and the loop with move along the phrase. Now make sure the zoom window goes all the way in so that your movement large. Now it won`t snap to a grid like Ableton so you have to work by sight locating the bass hits and reading the last placement of the loop end. It`s fun like on live to do it live.
If you want to set longer loops divide by 2 for half and whole. If you want to set shorter loops multiply by 2 for 8th then 16th notes.
Remember alot of the software is based on hardware . Software is more graphic whereas hardware is more about the numbers.
